Is there a curated list of recommended IoT devices? (lemmy.world)

Pretty much what the title says. I want some ideas on what smart home devices are good and play nicely with the Home assistant. I know Tuya for example are more or less fine, Shelly are good but overpriced, in my opinion. I am also using Hue, which works great but costs a lot.

I am planning to revamp my whole IoT setup and Home Assistant and migrate from Docker running on top of RPi to a VM setup. I have a Sonoff ZigBee gateway and plan to try to add all devices to it.

Anything that will run ESPHome or Tasmota is a safe bet. The ESPHome website has a list of supported devices here, and there is a Tasmota devices repository on the Blakadder website similar to the Zigbee one.

I used to love the Blakadder site but now I'm mostly finding "this device will only work if you have an older version" as the newer chips roll out which don't support Tasmota. I've been looking at OpenBeken as an alternative but the documentation and process for that one seems much more confusing to be.

I'm hoping that sometime we might see a consolation of projects so that we can get Tasmota support on e.g. CB2S etc services
