I have a self hosted HA deployment that hasn’t been updated in a while. I haven’t updated it partially because they made the boneheaded move of deprecating their YAML config in favor of GUI-only config, and partially because the developers are insufferable dickholes.

I should probably move off of the deployment that I’ve got right now at some point, but what are people currently using for home automation? Is anyone running a newer version of HA that thinks it’s not actually that bad?

    Is the config not being in YAML really such a huge issue? The heart of HA, the automations, can still be written in YAML and have just gotten more powerful since then by adding blueprints and even Python support via AppDaemon.

    and partially because the developers are insufferable dickholes.

    That is one developer, HA is one of the biggest projects on GitHub.

    As far as alternatives go I used openHAB before but HA is simply the biggest player in the ecosystem, standing even above many proprietary solutions.

      Yeah I was really confused by that. One example of a single HA contributor doing something a bit selfish. Am I missing something?
