> What can you do about it? Before you say "Home Assistant", let me stop you right there. Javascript plus a "curl | sudo sh" attitude to life equals "yeah no, I am never touching this thing".

Not sure what the author is playing at here.

You can run HA as a Docker container, and I'm pretty sure Hue is a built-in integration.

All of the integrations are open source, so if someone flicking your lights on and off while you're baking cookies or something is a concern, others would have spotted it.

I thought HA was difficult since that's the vibe it gets. It was crazy easy to get going with. Took me a few hours to get all 30+ of my bulbs (different vendors too), locks, cameras, etc. baked in and working with HomeKit.

Ring took a little longer because Amazon, but I got it done.

I have run Home Assistant for ~9 years. I've done so with the core system in a virtual environment all along, and it's been great. I run my own local mosquitto server for MQTT in its own systemd service, bridged with one on my web server for remote stuff. You can do all this without any `curl | sudo sh` using excellent open source documentation.

mosquitto is pretty great
