Officially kicked of this year's annual #selfhost user survey this morning. This year's survey consists of ~40 questions across five categories and shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.
I've also included a new form for those who'd like to leave feedback on how I can improve next year's survey!

Ich brauche in Zukunft eventuell eine große Palette von smarten Lichtschaltern, Rolladenaktoren und Heizungsthermostaten.
Meine Anforderungen:
- Native Anbindung an Homeassistant
- Ohne Cloud (oder Opt-In)
- Ohne APP (oder Opt-In)
Beim Protokoll bin ich mit Zigbee und WiFi unterwegs.
Was nutzt man da aktuell? Sonoff? Shelly?

At least here in #Europe also IKEA sells various #smarthome devices (speakers etc) that seem to be quite good and locally controllable (and reasonably priced). But I am personally not using any of them.
I keep adding cool/interesting integrations for #homeassistant here:

It's your choice, of course. But I'd strongly encourage you to reconsider. Keep it local and keep it open.

I Bought a $200K VAX on eBay – Now It Runs My Smart Lights! - YouTube
I wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.
Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.
Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.
