  • That might be the case. And you might in fact be perfectly well intentioned (though, as you might have found this community isn’t, on average, very into closed source software).

    On the project site, this post, your replies, I have read nothing that sounded like genuinely you. It all reads like marketing. Or, more precisely, as if you have a LLM write/rewrite your responses. This, to me, makes them feel incredibly disingenuous. You might just sound like that naturally. In that case, I’m sorry.

    If you want to win over this community, a good avenue would probably be open sourcing your application and arranging for some form of donation.

    Edit: Also, you didn’t state that it’s closed source in your first sentence?? Well, you did in the first sentence of the reply to the comment that called out there not being source code on the repo, but the cat was out of the bag at that time.






  • Yeah, totally understand that. Had an easy start cause I got a lot of Philips Hue stuff for free from a friend who got fed up with smart tech in general. He now has a Pixel with mostly blank Graphene and a Raspberry Pi as his only computing devices, lol.

    I had a lot of fun programming click patterns for smart switches that are incomprehensible for anyone but me XD

    Good luck with your transition~


  • I have been very happy with local stuff. I have home assistant running on a pi, independent of my main server (cause I wanna control the lights easily while changing server hardware).

    All my smart devices (lamps, mostly) use Zigbee, and it’s just way easier and more flexible than classical dimmers. There’s local voice recognition support, but for that I’d probably run it on something with more horsepower than a raspi.




  • If you look at e.g. Germany, it’s Deutschland in German, but others might call it Allemagne, Tyskland, Germania, Niemcy, Saska, …

    I very much don’t want to police what others would like to be called, but feel like having your own local name for a country is mostly normal and fine.

    I might also not be the biggest fan of the concept of countries, but that’s neither here nor there.
