This is why I love this community, really helpful but speak in a language I’m not fluent in yet.
It’s like when I learned guitar, I had no clue what people were talking about half the time on /R/learnguitar, same in /R/homeassistant, but I lurked enough that I learned loads and ended up contributing to both communities after a spell of time.

Just to share my experience. I was part of r/HomeAssistant for a year or so and I had no effing clue what it was or what it does. One day I was scrolling through YouTube and there was a guy talking about HomeAssistant. Only then I realised this is not some “Alexa/Siri” kinda home assistant. This is a home automation kinda thing.
Haha, I still laugh at my self for being an idiot for the whole 1 1.5 years.

Yeah I get it, I started home automation using Google Assistant and Tasker on my phone to make everything work. I spent HOURS writing Tasker automations because the Wifey hated it all because it all worked based on my phone.
Whenever I couldn’t get something working I’d see Home Assistant as the solution. Maybe for a year or more…
COVID happened and I bought a Pi to play with. Did some shit with it and eventually gave Home Assistant a go and never looked back.
My home automation has come along leaps and bounds since then. I had a friend on the weekend comment that I’ll finally know I’m living in the future when I walk through the door and my house welcomes me home. It’s been doing that for over a year already…
