Well put.
Woah, I can't wait to never afford that!
Weird, but I found it a super interesting read. It made me think of Home Assistant as one of the only software that I could think of that uses a toggle button from the top of my head. I think it handles these states wonderfully.
Edit: The big one I rarely see. But, either one seems quite intuitive.
This looks pretty cool. I haven't used OpenWRT in years. Does it support mesh or adding another access point somehow?
Either way, I'm happy with my current OPNSense/unifi setup.
You can feel however which way you want. But, comparing it to paid services isn't fair..
I could be wrong, but I would bet that launderers are probably not targeting this niche device. I'd guess that the people buying them are more likely from a country that they don't sell in. Like Australia for example.
2.0 seems to be closing the gap towards Discord more. Which I like.
I think it's a lot more intimidating than it is actually hard. You could get a Raspberry Pi, Alternative, or a Home Assistant Yellow. Then there guides that can get you going in minutes. It's actually a pretty good time with the latest update introducing better onboarding.
I am not trying to convince you. But, I don't want to see anyone scared out either.
Blue Steel.
