Comment on Sounds like Haier is opening the door!
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 months agoOh absolutely agree, but this is where they can use it.
The dev can say that they obviously need an official plugin, and work with them on that because now they have 1,800 clones of an unofficial one that may not be optimized.
We also get to know that our tiny HA community has hit a critical mass large enough to get a corpo to freak out a bit

I did my part and sent them a “do this and I’ll never buy a Haier product” email. Corporations exist to maximize profits. Communities like ours just have to learn how to make it clear to them that shutting us out will hurt their profitability.
I think we should all be really proud of ourselves. We banded together and, regardless of WHY Haier is doing this, got them to open a line of communication. This is a huge win!

Yup, sent an email and left a message, calling out Haier, GE, Fisher Paykel, etc as not on my list anymore due to this behavior.
I’ll call it a win when it’s fully resolved though.
