      Nah, no better reason to ditch dumb devices that make you dependent on some cloud service. My IoT all uses ZigBee to connect to my home assistant server.

          My bedroom lighting setup doesn’t even use ZigBee

          Its all theatre DMX lighting > ola (open lighting architecture) > ArtNet > home assistant.

          It’s slightly jankier than if I had built a direct ola > Hass plugin but it works quite well

          I also only run lighting, and control my Chromecast on my Home assistant - and both are turned off at the power supply when I’m not home, it isn’t accessible outside the LAN (except through a zerotier VPN, though I probably should turn that off as I don’t use it much)
