We miss the option to control the whole house with Home Assistant, the Muse Headband and a blink of an eye.
- How to connect the Muse Headband over LSL Python can be found here (for LattePanda with x86 processor only):
- How to connect the Muse Headband over BrainFlow to Python can be found here:

- This works also with the ARM based Raspberry Pi.
- The paper uses an OdroidXU4 SBC. But HA OS can be flashed directly to Raspberry PI SBCs:
- Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi offers more options than single automation tasks on an OdroidXU4 which were performed in the mentioned paper. We therefore think a Raspberry Pi is a better choice than the OdroidX4 and it is worth to publish a second paper about it.
- We listed several sensor which already can be connected to Home Assistant. According to our own little experience as coders, we think it is possible to make out of Home Assistant a platform for physiological data acquisition. And we think, it is worth to write a third paper about it.
- The authors of the papers belong to the minority of skilled coders worldwide who are skilled enough to implement the described features easily and write papers about it.
- And we think it is worth to implement and publish the described features in scientific papers.
- The authors of the paper did not publish the code. If you are interested in the device the authors developed contact those.
- We are not interested in developers who develop these kind of devices for us and want to sell those to us..
- We are not interested in engineers and paper authors who want to develop software and hardware products similar to g.tec medical devices or Adinstruments Labchart software.
- But we are interested in open source soft- and hardware developers for instance at the level of Scott W. Harden:

- We make our contributions by the reviews we publish in our journal.
- We believe that Home Assistant has the potential to be developed further to an open source physiological data acquisition system.
- We suggest to change to another single board computer than Raspberry Pi as soon as possible since Pi has problems with availability since several years.
