Living through breaking backwards compatibility and deprecations I think is the paint point- just continued paper cuts for the grumpy here.
it's easy to lose sight of how great a piece of software it is

Whenever I mess around with my homelab cluster (the current iteration is going to be the stable one, I promise!), Home Assistant is the service that needs to work—even though I've built our home automation system to not preclude manual control.

- Avamander 3y agoI just took the ZigBee approach. A vendor can't (usually) remove or break the features available and it'll just work for years and years. Though such an approach doesn't work with many other integrations.
- nomel 3y agoAbsolutely. Those are the only things still alive, but it seems to be a niche market. I fear that Thread/Matter will be the end of ZigBee, and vendors will take the easy route of using/requiring the border routers.
