Zwave always works for me - but costs more. ZigBee is the bulk of my devices. If possible, I avoid tuya stuff but some solutions are only tuya (switches without neutral wires come to mind.)

Steam has added a lot for the Linux community.

I know it's proprietary but I love them for it.

I run proxmox so I have a VM dedicate to HA OS with frequent backups. This allows me to also run a number of other things without worrying about inadvertently messing up my HA install

I'm doing the same but spending more time here. As more communities move over, my time with reddit will decrease. If I knew the copyright laws better, I'd host a few servers of my favorite shows.

I'm sure it's Google's fault. Lately they have been more and more siloed with their stuff. All the more reason to use a local hub (even a prebuilt one like Hubitat) and then share the devices with Google Home. That's how I do it with Amazon

People can have different views. No reason to call the braindead. I plan on using both but to be primarily here.

Great question. I was wondering the same myself. I'm liking Lemmy so far

I use Amcrest doorbell as well but haven't blocked it from network access
