I mean its true.

But my 4K120hz VRR Oled just never connects to the internet. gAmInG-rig is on Linux. Pixel got the Graphene treatment. Homeautomation always seemed stupid to me(personally, if you have usecases, good for you). If there were ready to use iot devices which doesnt suck and respect my privacy by just beeing on the local network: sure i would think about it. But hacking together something good with arduinos wasnt worth my time for now atleast.

VR headset OS is hacked and nerved to the best of my knowledge.

For now there are still ways to enjoy tech even though overall its a fucking hellscape.

Home Assistant is a great way to achieve home automation without handing everything over to random organisations. Not perfect, but better than relying on Amazon.

I can only speak for myself, but the things that home automation usually automates don't spark joy for me. Like they're the kind of friction that I don't hate, and ideally would want to just have more time to do.

Also I guess I just like being able to go somewhere in my house and there are no computers there

And ESPhome works very well together with Home Assistant if you want to build stuff yourself.

Just get an ESP32 and a sensor or other device that is supported by ESPhome and you will be able to program and connect it very quickly.

There are also ways to use sensors that are currently not supported by ESPhome by writing a custom component, but that is something that I don't do, too much effort and it's not that easy.

It's also crazy just how many different devices can be connected to Home Assistant. If it is at least somewhat widely used chances are good that someome has already written a plugin to make it work.
