      do you have a good place to start? I’m getting a house next month and would like to self host but it seems daunting.

          Zigbee and Zwave. Get both sticks.

          Also recommend Home Assistant. Their integration page is a great resource when looking to buy products as they’ll tell you exactly how your device will connect to it, whether it’s local control, cloud control, etc.

        What sorts of things do you want to run out of your house? Are you planning to use an old PC or are you able to buy new hardware?

      You can’t self-host Amazon’s shopping, and sometimes they’re the only ones who carry certain items since they’ve fucked local retailers for the last 20 years.

      But regardless, people should be allowed to use cloud services without fear of being banned whole-hog for pissing off some suit in Seattle.
