#HomeAssistant shows a lot of promise for #SmartHome integration across manufacturers, but right now, there is still an awful lot of Fucking About™ required to make things happen.
I'm trying to integrate something and the bit that's required before I set the integration up requires SSH, an additional interface element (HACS), and an installation sequence, accompanied by clearing browser cache, that does not easily seem to work.
I'm as keen as the next geek to mess with stuff under the hood, but this is pretty much deep nerd only territory.
@ZS this is not Home Assistant but something provided by a third party.
With other smart home platforms when you try something non-standard, the answer is usually no. With Home Assistant, the answer is "yes, but". Someone finds a way to get things integrated, even if they have to climb mountains. They share that with the community. Just because there is an integration doesn't mean it is instantly easy. That requires work and iteration and as open source project that is exactly our strength.
