      Former trucker here.

      I’ve been using home assistant for a year. No degree in software engineering here

      Stupidly simply to set up.

        I used it for several years. It’s incredibly complicated to set up. After the 3rd or 4th time it offed itself randomly or some random update broke it, I gave up and put manual shit back everywhere. Giant waste of time and money. Please don’t send others to the same fate.

          Sounds like a skill issue.

          I’m just a dumb ol trucker with an Alabama public school education.

          I managed to set it up with no issues.

          And for the record, it doesn’t do “random” updates unless you tell it to.

          So why were you updating anything that was working? Were you using cheap-ass crap that needed a cloud connection?

          Don’t blame HA for your choice in gear.
