I’d rather install open source JavaScript code via curl and sudo than install closed source binaries via an iOS app. This is for something with a permanent place on your home network.

Rachel is usually spot on, but dogma won the day today. Home assistant is great, and I’ll go one step further: I don’t care a bit what language a tool is written in. Plenty of insecure and malicious C in the world.

You can audit what you're installing as it's open source. Such an odd hill to die on.

Congratulations, you’ve now signed up to audit a genuine morass of a code base. It’s full of terribly written JavaScript hacked together by people who more or less know how to write a class. But hey, at least you can read the code.

If you're so violently allergic to JavaScript just use OpenHAB, which is written in good old Java.

>>c0pium+9A
You, and 60k other people who have starred it or 80ish people that have recently committed.

OpenSSL would like a word.

As I made clear in my post it’s the quality of the code, not the language.
