    Stick to Z-Wave and ZigBee products only and come join us in the wonderful, free land of Home Assistant.

    So... I got a zigbee outlets bar because I want to control some stuff independently, and apparently the firmware does export its 5 switches at the zigbee interface, but will relay any command into all of them unless it detects you are using the app that goes to the cloud and requires an account...

    The shit is in all IoT, not only on the WiFi stuff.

    I think you might have posted to the wrong community.

    Because this isn't shitposting, it's just a legitimate frustration.

    I'd agree if it was under unpopular opinion, but a shitpost can be something everyone agrees with. It's just low effort, both the post and usually the replies.
