Home Assistant is absolutely epic platform. However, you still need quite a lot of time to keep it working flawlessly (major releases can contain breaking changes), and a bit of a programming skill (though they are trying to make everything more accessible for regular people). Still, I love it and cannot recommend it enough. I have a ton of devices communicating with each other over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Z-Wave, ranging from lights, heating, home security to pretty much everything else.

Trying to get away from cloud-based automation, I installed home assistant on my Synology server, as well as the integration local Tuya. Everything is functioning perfectly. So, I downloaded this app, to control using my phone. The app works well, and it's nicely laid out. However, one star off because widgets are a problem. In essence, when I tap a widget, it does what I want it to do, but then it is replaced by an endlessly spinning arrow. Fix: I have to delete the widget.

Works great. I feel like the monthly subscription fee for remote access is a little high ($65 USD / ~$100 AUD). I know there's other ways around it, but I'd like to support the project. I'd be happier if it were $40 USD / ~$60 AUD a year. Also just a suggestion, it would be nice if swiping left or right anywhere switched between the tabs.
