some positive reactions in the news from the new #HomeAssistant dashboard UI and appearance.

if you're a HomeKit house, I do recommend you consider #HASS as the backbone of your household automation. you can present parts of your HomeAssistant #householdIT selectively to your Apple Home, so my fam can control lighting and whole-house audio.

you can do incredibly powerful orchestration and AI automations inside of HASS and let the polished product be what they see!

@emory Looks nice, but I had nothing but issues with Home Assistant on a mostly Z-Wave + Zigbee network. Switched to Hubitat and all of the issues disappeared. I really wanted to like it, even built a whole CM4 8GB system for it, bought separate radios as necessary, validated everything via HCL, and it simply refused to operate consistently with my equipment no matter how much debugging or replacement parts were tried.

There might be some issue with running HAS when everything is decoupled from HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, etc and not using any manufacturer apps (Tapo/Kasa, Hue, uuuuuuugh, no more). So all of my devices use raw protocol without those secondary apps, and they're much more user friendly and stable.

I do like that dashboard you described, very well rounded.
