I wish there would be an appliance manufacturer that would actually hire developers to create and maintain Home Assistant.

Home Assistant users are small minority of many of these companies user bases (including ours), and these integrations being locally focused often poll HEAVILY causing an upside down ratio in API traffic compared to all other users.

The solution is to allow local interfaces (matter, HTTP, etc) but most company cybersecurity teams just freak out at this.

Oh, and the reason we don't have a full time team managing HA is like I said.. addressable market versus FAANG/Samsung.

It takes a full time person (persons) to manage Alexa, Google, Samsung, etc.

Hah, the staff on Assistant working on home integrations measured in the hundreds (I used to work adjacent to those teams). Of course most of them were either laid off or reassigned to other projects, so it's pretty likely that Assistant will stop working soon, if it hasn't already.

>>nostra+El
Hold up....Home Assistant staff has been recently cut in a way that you think the entire thing is likely to stop working in the near future?

That is a very major claim to be making. If that's true (or even plausible) it's a very huge deal. Is there anywhere I could read about any of that?

-edit- also I'm either misunderstanding your comment or learning something very major about HA. I didn't realize it was a cohesive enough entity to have "staff" that could be moved around/laid off.
