You think my grandma fucks with Google Home or Apple Homekit?
Not everyone is up to the task anyway.
I’ve recently switched to the VM instead of the docker, the setup is so easy if you fail at that you shouldn’t be doing anything with it to begin with.
You can buy pre-installed devices which are essentially plug-and-play
It’s a rhetorical question, you’re missing the entire rhetoric of it…
Which is that not everyone is technically inclined, actually most aren’t, so the majority of everyone is not going to be capable of operating a technically demanding system.
I do understand what you’re saying, but not everyone will or should self host.
I don’t know when you’ve tried the setup, but it’s gotten to a point where i do find it very easy.
If you go the way with a pre built device too, all you have to do is creating an account and plenty device pop up immediately without any further steps.
The new step by step automation creation was all which was left to improve.
If you fail at that, you probably fail at other solutions too
