IBM near me had a 180,000 square foot building on 110 acres that employed thousands of employees who coded in APL. When they closed the facility last year, I could imagine the response of potential interviewers: “What’s APL. Don’t you know any C?”
I had a similar issue where I was programming in HPL (Hewlett Packard Language) which was a poor bastardization of BASIC and ASM. After leaving that job, none of the hiring managers had ever heard of HPL. (Un)fortunately, I landed a lucrative position writing in BASIC that lasted for 17 years. Which pretty much ended my career as a programmer.
Please step back and let others handle this project with the due respect it deserves.
The way this is heading is all wrong. I don’t think you @balloob envisioned this and not what @balloob initially had planned.
@nickrout yes thank you my friend for your input; I do understand.
Going forward; what is the plan for HA as you/others see it? Do you know? Does anyone know? Please don’t tell me; I/We have to pay for HA in 6 months or a year or two? Hope not.
Having said that, I would gladly pay for a service that is let’s say more user friendly AND reliable (ie not so many breaking changes)
That would be the point for a home Automation system; No? We are not all hackers/coders.
I see too many people within this forum; how should I put it; getting burnt for a better word with the breaking changes.
Maybe (not sure) , there should be a limit of which/what devices are supported perhaps ?
The only reason I say this is because if you have set up a device/integration and it is working it should keep working and always work.
Personally, to get the Home Assistant project more mainstream, hardware is the only option. Plus some $$$ for advertising. I think only then would people/companies take any notice of this project.
If HA never goes any further, I will be happy with it, and I can always have it for free as it is open source.
Also click here Credits - Home Assistant - there are literally hundreds of authors. The each own the copyright on their contributions. No one can steal their code and make it proprietary,
Yes my friend, no disrespect to you, but so do many, many others like you too. However these same/some people have/are having issues and/are having issues with Home Assistant Cloud.
This is not about Home Assistant Cloud for me, this a fine and a decent price to pay for a service. My gist of it was this.
What if they decide to get rid of ESP Home/Tasmota in the future for example?
I just hope this shite doesn’t hit my ESP Fan.
Copy the existing gpio integration of the gpio manually as a custom integration, or use hacs to install it
Someone has already taken it over as a custom integration
As Adrian just said, look in HACS and you will find it. The solution (in HACS) was mentioned in this very thread days ago. READ.
Nor does it affect me, but I’m not complaining about it either… just sick of people that write comments on this forum before either searching or reading what is in front of them.
,
please.
I don’t think you
