I’m choosing devices based on how good they work with zha and HA and usually have to browse a bit before settling for something. If they manage to implement this properly, I’m all here for it.
Maybe they should talk to the zigbee device compatibility repository people (or maybe they already have).



Do you like, know, what Home Assistent is? What?
@bluesheep
I must admit that this is by far the most extensive but really, really convincing way to say: „I have no clue what Homeassistant is“ that I have seen so far.
It’s genuinely amazing. I’d think they were trolling if their others comments in this thread weren’t so schizo-coded
I know smart devices spy on us, collect our data, and transmit it to data brokers, even when they say they don’t. Even if your home assistant didn’t share the information, it would be garnered by the government and or data brokers. That anonymized information is not, by combining sets of data they can identify everyone involved, and so forth.
Why do you need a toaster that can be controlled to the internet, a washing machine, a dishwasher? Thermostat you could argue could be helpful, although that gives hackers an ability to change your temperature when you are away. There is no good reason for any of these devices to be collecting this information on us, even if you don’t see the danger in it on it’s face.
That is a very, very extensive “I have no clue what I’m talking about in this subject”
Maybe take 10 minutes to educate yourself before opening your mouth.
Like, one of the primary points of home assistant is making it so more devices aren’t connected to the internet. It doesn’t anonymize the data, it makes it so you can fully locally control a bunch of products (eg, I have tons of products blocked at my firewall from sending or receiving data from WAN; the only way for a hacker to change my thermostat is to be on my LAN, they literally can’t do it remotely).
Not sure if you’re an LLM or just enjoy entirely missing the point.
I’m not sure you don’t have taxoplasmosis, a brain parasite all mammals can harbour, passed between cats and rodents, the rodents lose their fear of cats as it affects their fear center. Up to 30% of the population could have it, it explains a lot.
