I bought a Samsung Smart Things hub and many hundreds of dollars worth of $90 Lutron ZWave switches and dimmers about 5 years ago. Within 6 months, Samsung discontinued support for my hub and remotely bricked it for me.

At the time, other main brand hubs didn't want to do ZWave.

I stopped following the dumpster fire after that and now I just turn my lights on and off like a plebe with my fingers.

I’m still using 9 year old hue bulbs, none have failed. The hub finally did, or rather the bricked it with an update and then trying to fix it lost all my config this year so I switched to home assistant finally

Couldn’t be happier and my nearly decade old hue bulbs will continue to work

Nice. I've been creepily learing at Home Assistant from the run down apartment across the street for some years now...
