Comment on Home Assistant - am I missing something?
unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoIn my experience, HA is simply a fuck-you to all those companies that want you to use their closed, cloud-based solution.
It’s not perfect, but it’s basically all we got, unless you want the crappier experience of being forced to buy only one brand of things and being forced to use really, really simple automations.

If HA is the “answer”, then vendor locked solutions don’t look that bad in comparison.
Xiaomis cloud might stop working in two years, but HA is already not working today. That’s not really appealing.

The HA android app just passed one million active devices. Saying “Ha is already not working today.” might be true for you but it’s obviously not true across the board.

Absolutely wrong. I have dozens of devices integrated, from a lot of brands, all working. You can of course try to get a turnkey solution from like Loxone, but be prepared to pay thousands of dollars, and good luck adding anything that’s not in their ecosystem. And there’s a lot of that. And what is there is all pretty outdated.
Xiaomi is great and I use a lot of their stuff, but the options for automation are severely limited.
