    And wow is it bad.

    The thing can’t even do basic things the Assistant did, and it replaces it if you let it. No smart control at all.

    Sigh. Best look into Home Assistant, finally.

        Home Assistant is incredibly powerful but also incredibly complicated.

        After about a year and several hundred dollars spent on hardware I had to give up. I just can’t continue to dedicate so much time to something that is supposed to help me do the opposite.

        I have the yellow box, fully assembled, sitting on my shelf, staring at me. I’ve had it for a month. I still have four smart things hubs running everything. I’m a little worried my system won’t reach without all the back hauling those are doing.

        Took time off this week. Might try to at least get the software installed.

      It wouldn’t be so bad if i could just launch the app and type a query…
