       @freedomtux for hard-wired devices in my house I went for KNX, which is high-end, well supported and not brand-specific. Other after-market hardware (e.g. sensors, small buttons, wallplugs, ...) I go for zigbee (or z-wave if not available with zigbee). I try to skip on cloud-based solutions as much as possible.

       @freedomtux I have a zigbee and a zwave stick in my #homassistant machine (I run Home Assistant OS on an Intel NUC, but it before it was on a Raspberry Pi). This way, these sensors/outlets/... directly interface with Home Assistant. This way I don't need their gateway, and I can mix zigbee brands without issues (I have zigbee devices from Aqara, Niko, Sonoff, ... working together without issues)

       @freedomtux thats  the general idea indeed. Unfortunately some manufacturers do not follow the spec completely, but the drivers ( e.g. ZHA in HA for zigbee) can handle a lot of those quirks. If you buy a zigbee stick, best to quickly google its compatibility with e.g. ZHA. Similarly before buying a device, make sure it states it supports zigbee, and google for ZHA compatibility. But I never had any trouble. Aqara is a brand I like. The above also applies for zwave devices with the driver zwavejs

       @nixCraft a technical forum I'm on banned AI generated answers as well (not sure on how they enforce it), since these answers look correct and convincing, but have subtle mistakes or inaccuracies causing inexperienced people using these answers to get stuck and frustrated.

       @vik I also have a separate vlan/SSID for IoT stuff. My HA is on a separate vlan with slightly more rights. It did involve a lot of manual work to set everything up.

       @stfn yes. Does car/person detection on the doorbell camera. Perfect for the occasional "let's put this package here at the front door without pressing the doorbell so it gets wet or gets stolen"-delivery.

       @jtonline @selea maybe there's something on your router preventing routing between VLANs. The return path is often forgotten. I use a different VLAN as well without any issues.
