Founder of Home Assistant here. Let me know if anyone has any questions. Glad to see Troy likes it as much as we like creating it! If you haven't heard about it, next month is the Home Assistant Conference[1] where we will have three tracks: everyone, advanced users and developers. Each filled with great talks and of course some exciting announcements! [1]: https://www.home-assistant.io/conference/ https://www.home-assistant.io/conference/

Thank you for all of your work! I started down the smart home path this year and Home Assistant's philosophy really resonates with me. HA with zigbee and zwave enhance and add to our house in a cloud-free way that works for me and my family. Even simple things like putting remote light switches in reach of young kids means they have more independence in their own home (and they're not climbing furniture to turn on lights...).

Criticism from my other comment aside, thank you for the work on HA. It is a monumental problem y'all are trying to solve. I think a large portion of my gripes are due to what I describe as an in-between state right now. Is HA for those with Linux experience? Is it not? If it's the later, UI features that don't do anything should never be allowed in releases. Right now, I can't delete a dead Z-Wave node. The button is greyed out. I have to delete as much as I can from the UI, then clean it up from the yaml files. This is not something a layman can do. I just want one button to delete a dead node from entities, nodes, Z-Wave, switch, and devices, or tell me where exactly I need to delete things from yaml and .storage. Also, I think the project needs to get away from entities and nodes, or at least hide them in the UI and end user documentation. It's too abstract and not always relevant to the end-user.
