HA is so great. It can be used for much more than "home automation/IoT", and I find myself using it as a piece of infrastructure for other self hosted stuff. For example, rather than sending SMTP email logs for backup jobs, I just push that data to a HA webhook. I also use it for scraping alerts: once the scraper fires a trigger, it pushes a webhook to Home Assistant, which sends me a push notification on my iPhone. Great all around tool -- for the house, but for a bunch of other random stuff too!
