Yeah, 100%. Home assistant can basically connect to any damn thing. Home assistant is going to be the fall back for a lot of legacy iot devices and platforms.
Not quite everything. The stuff that calls home to their own servers can't be saved by home assistant. If you take care to buy stuff that can be controlled locally, you're more likely to have some longevity out of your devices.
