@ironicbadger@techhub.social It’s unusable for Joe Public, software that changes so much so often for no good reason is just bad.
I ran it for a few years, and found that even with my relatively simple setup, it would need a few hours a month of faffing to get it working again after an update.
End up, I gave up on it and migrated to Homey Self Hosted Server. It just works. It did everything I used HA for. It doesn’t blow up monthly. Wife has forgotten it exists, because stuff just does what it should.
I run Homey SHS on a Mac Mini M2, with a Homey Bridge doing the Zigbee and Z-Wave.

@ZS@techhub.social homey does indeed look good. $149 lifetime license. Perhaps I will have to try it. HA is GOATed but totally agree with your concerns of how brittle of an experience it is.
