I realized why I love working on my HA today. Nearly every single problem I encounter can be solved by adding good code, integrations, add-ons or blueprints. It is easy enough to pick up and very rewarding to master.
Most times, I get to learn or practice a valuable skill related to networking, opsec, etc.
It hits on an intuitive level and a logical level, which is to say that it is an extremely rare piece of software kit.
It’s also arguably a community-wide cooperative effort to make people’s homes better, which (right or wrong) feels like I’m making a difference.
What have you realized while working on Home Assistant?
