Please request a SPECIFIC package/application, and provide the proper link to the package source code. Your first post is VERY vague.

It was posted within bugs and non-package requests, originally.

Now I wonder what to do with this thing, since, as you say, user is not being specific.

@Jakob77
As you discovered in your original post on this topic:
viewtopic.php?t=75426
the Home Automation package requires Python 3.10, but that package is no longer available. Had you extended your research a bit more you also would have found that MX 21 currently uses Python 3.9.2-3. MX and Python have moved forward, but the Home Automation package has not been updated appropriately. As a result it will not install / work with MX 21.

@j2mcgreg wouldnt that be Python 3.10 isnt available in MX21 yet ? ( we are at 3.9 now)

You're right. I did some more digging and the OP got some other things wrong:
the proper name is Home Assistant and its an OS that is meant to be run in a VM. See here:
https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux

or directly on a raspbery Pi:

aye, running on a raspberry pi makes the most sense.

I am not requesting any specific software because I am not qualified to choose or write it.
And requesting software just to test can likely be a waste of the developers time.

In my opinion it might be best to make it a part of the main distro as one more MX tool but I have no conditions about it.
At the moment I can't find Home Automation software for MX anywhere, so to me it looks like a job for the pioneers.
