HA has improved quite a lot over the last say 18 months. Please consider giving it another go. Make sure you are using either hass.io or supervised. The dockerised approaches are far superior to say the venv jobbie. I'm a dyed in the wool old school sysadmin and it took a while for me to get it. Get the nginx proxy addon with Lets Encrypt working and you are all good for kick off. As always, ensure stuff you don't trust is on its own network/VLAN or use host based firewalls to take up the slack. HA will use HIBP to check your passwords in your addons which was controversial but I think rather good. HA is in the hands of people who seem quite driven, which is nice.
