I continue to be amazed that anybody connects their appliances to the internet.

Yeah this is why I'm so fascinated with the concept of designing home automation that is independent of the internet. Privacy and reliability

HomeAssistant is a really good piece of software. The only issue I still haven't 100% resolved are notifications, since I still need to figure out the most reliable way for when I will really need them - the push notifications simply won't work sometimes on my graphene os phone. Perhaps using the RedNode and email notification, but that again relies on the mail server being up as well, so one extra breaking point.
