HA would be a lot more convincing if basic layout itself alongside config wasn't YAML hell. Every time I want to create some new layout or add something new to my home screen, I dread it.

I hate using it. Yet, I have no viable OSS alternatives.

openHAB is very nice and completely OSS.

Hm, I forgot about openHAB. Does it have comparable number of integrations as HA does?

can you share more details about what's breaking? Is it a specific integration? Is it in general? What breaks? This is not consistent with most users' experience but it's hard to know without more specifics.

Some of the things that happened to me during the last 18 months:

- ChangeOver to the new bluetooth subsystem broke many integrations. My Bluetooth TRVs still don't work right (again).

- ONVIF support recently broke for an (admittedly shitty old) IP-Webcam. PTZ never worked/was_exposed.

- My USB-connected android devices can't be be controlled by the ADB-Integration anymore. There was some integration renaming/rescoping recently.

Home-Assistant still (imho) is best solution in this space for most combinations of metrics. I'd still recommend it to anyone.

(I tinker a lot with my HA-install/network, so maybe some of the above are issues on my end)

So question is - what do you think :)?
