I have a couple weeks off for the Christmas break and am going to try creating a smart home hub. I briefly tried Home Assistant a few years ago but got too busy to maintain it. I just looked at the available hubs and while Hubitat is interesting, I think Home Assistant is clearly the best option for those who don't mind tinkering.

Choosing a Hub - Revisited

Why I've switched back to Home Assistant after using Hubitat for over a year.

@crlamke I think that you'll find that #HomeAssistant requires less tinkering these days to get going than it did a few years ago.

In addition to general usability improvements, better UI, etc.. there's been a big improvement in Z-Wave and Zigbee device support. That used to be fiddly..

I hope you'll post an update to your last blog post with your most recent experience. I'm really curious to hear about your impression after a couple years of progress..

@lmamakos @crlamke could be better, but even this year it has gotten much more approachable. Excited for what they have planned in the next year.
