I run Home Assistant in my house, so the gear on this page gets tested where it has to survive: real walls, real Wi-Fi. Three voice pucks, a pile of Zigbee sensors, an August lock. Some of it works great. Half of it was offline and I didn’t notice. I write about both. If you only read one thing here, read the Zigbee audit.
