Differentiates itself from others in the industry
Firstly, Home Assistant differentiates itself from others in the industry by having a focus on local-control and privacy.

Secondly, Home Assistant is compatible with more third-party devices and services than any other home automation system, platform, or ecosystem. As of May 2020, over to 1600 plug-ins or add-ons with system integrations to different IoT devices and services are available as "integration components". Actions, such as switching ON/OFF lights, are triggered by automation, voice commands, mobile apps, or controls on the Home Assistant web-based frontend user-interface.

Notability
IMHO there is no question about notability today as Home Assistant is currently among the most popular open-source projects in the world! As proof to that, at the GitHub "State of the Octoverse" in 2019 it listed Home Assistant as the tenth biggest open source project on GitHub based on the number of active contributors that year (as the project had contributions from 63,000+ contributors during 2019).

Home Assistant is also a three-time award-winning project for the Thomas-Krenn-Award since it took 2nd-place in 2017, 2nd-place in 2018, and 1st-place in 2019. It has also been a nominee for a DINACon award in 2018.
