It was a big tech protocol, I just hoped to use it without them.
I'm not entirely familiar with the processes, I only just started HA. I'll try get my head around the alternative, I just got the ZBT2 on the promise of ease of use to my partner but they will have to wait for their lamp automation

SharePoint sucks so much. So often elements just do not load. No search bar.
Genuinely hate the existence of bug tech but I cannot fathom how microslop are this big anymore, their product is awful nothing is optimised or decent it is all heaps of legacy bullshit.

Absolutely, having a few bucks as a fall back is a great idea.

I mean so was everything that predated a new technology. We should all etch shit in stone by this logic.
I have competition, price and privacy concerns too but still this argument is ridiculous in the face of lived experience.

One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives
I got licensed by my country to drive, I am insured to drive. Everytime I start the car I have to confirm I will drive in line with the rules of the road. I can't select my profile or use the system until I am driving as a result. Stupid system.

How often do y'all use a VPN?
Reply in thread
Must look into Merlin, I want to stay away from closed source or US companies so Unifi was out.
Could you have a residential static VPN as one of the wireguard profiles and have it be somewhat local to you so you could use banking apps etc on specific devices? Trying to get this to pass the wife test but if streaming or banking is affected I will have to roll back to no vpn.

Its just where I am aiming to go with them, I want voice control for HA but want my HA to remain local only.
Ideally a modern GPU would be available in five years for a decent price and I would get a decent model and remote in for anything I needed.
