Hi! I’m Franck Nijhof, aka Frenck, and I am an open source developer and contributor. I guess you could say: I’m an open sourcerer! (👈 That is not a word).

I’ve been giving out software (and its source code) for free for many years already. However, in 2017, it all became more serious when I bumped into an open-source project called Home Assistant; The Internet of Things got me.

Since that moment I’ve been spending pretty much all my time on the Open Source development of IoT projects, with the main focus on Home Assistant and related projects.

You might have found me via one of the many add-ons I’ve created for the Home Assistant operating system: Hass.io. My Hassio add-ons are probably the most downloaded and used add-ons in the world.

Are you enjoying my work? And want to support me in my effort helping the world to become a better place by dedicating my time & knowledge to create & innovate open source software solutions. Allowing everybody on this earth the privilege to enjoy those things for free?

Please consider becoming my sponsor in that case, and gain my eternal gratefulness. 🙏 ❤️
