I am fairly new to HA, but have been up and running on a pi-4 for several months. I have integrated in an ISY 994 Pro, Somy blinds, ecobee, Wemo, Bond fan control, IOS mobile, and Alexa. Overall very impressed with HA and the ease to Add integrations.
One area I would like to get community input/opinions on is media center control. I have been a Roomie Remote/Simple Control user for around 5 years or more. I have always been impressed by their platforms ease of controlling multiple devices using both IP and IR control within a media center. (I have 4 diff media centers/rooms in the house that I control with Roomie.). However, with their recent shift away from having a hub running all the time, I’m not sure integration to HA to take advantage of HA automation will be available.
I’m interested in opinions on using HA directly for media center control or other platforms that would integrate to HA. (I control most of the normal stuff, DirecTV boxes, TVs, Roku, Receivers, Apple TV, And Plex).
Thanks
