    It’s not often that the most privacy conscious choice is also the most reliable, easy to use, and flexible option for something, but Home Assistant checks all the boxes.

      I just started using it myself here very recently and so far I’ve only set up one automation but it is very useful. What I am truly excited to see is the Works with Home Assistant program badge. That way I can look at a device that I’m interested in and see whether or not I should spend my money on it. I don’t want anything to do with a device that I need a fucking cloud account for.
