Since this account is only for running Home Assistant the extra arguments of `-rm` is added to create a system account and create a home directory. The arguments `-G dialout` adds the user to the `dialout` group. This is required for using Z-Wave and Zigbee controllers.
```bash
$ sudo useradd -rm homeassistant
$ sudo useradd -rm homeassistant -G dialout
