Needless to say - one would think.

But maybe they have their pants so full? 🤔

It’s not because of the numbers.

It’s not meant politically.

It’s just because of the chaos: nobody knows how to operate, nobody knows how to handle things the right way.

with MQTT client support out of the box

I’m afraid you’d better give up that convenience of MQTT. It is a bit bulky when your highest prio is a speedy communication.

He is too small for that

There’s GM as well… it’s just that they have learned to make better cars for Europe, and even to make some of them in Europe…

IMHO it is equal to solving the bribery problem.

Lobbying is a group of people coming together to voice their interests

But in practice, it rarely happens without shady “deals” full of bribery and coercion.

In Germany, yes. I think they are selling them worldwide.

They are pretty reliable, with a builtin oversized battery and small solar panel, remote control, and 5 years warranty iirc.

They offer an integration into smartness - I can look up for you later which one.

I am planning currently to get some, but without their solar, just normal power and my own smart relays to control them.

Just to provide a different point of view:

My general strategy is to decentralize these simple condition-action things.

Where only one sensor controls only one action/state, the function should run on the device itself, not on HA. Either the sensor or the switch or both is “smart”, and it is good that HA knows and shows the state, and you can switch it on/off there in the HA app, but it should not depend on HA. It should still work when HA is down.

In my case, Tasmota runs on all the light switches and a rule in Tasmota does the job.

Ethernet cables are not “wireless”, however.

How did you find out?

RasPi 4B with the dedicated HassOS distro.

Installation was easy. Upgrades run regularly and very stable.
