I wish I could get there. It works 90% of the time. I can’t figure out what is going on between Zigbee2MQTT and actually updating state. One every week or two I need to reboot the Raspberry Pi to resolve issues. Definitely more reliable than the cloud, but I am not sure what is going on.

TwistedTurtle@monero.town 9 months agoWith Home Assistant and locally controlled devices there’s no issues whatsoever. Completely locally controlled and solid as a rock ime.

As long as you can find devices which let you do local only setup…

True, but thankfully there are a lot of choices in that space, and it's constantly growing. And if there aren't, a lot of times it's possible to make one (or buy someone's) using an esp32 or similar. Zigbee, zwave, and matter devices should all be possible to run local only.

Once I heard this news I finally took the plunge on home assistant.
Been a learning curve but absolutely worth it, so much better than the first party control solutions.
