A red flag, relative to what I would do is: "Frequency to adapt the lights, in seconds." I would like to be able to make tight feedback loops, which means much less than seconds. I use HA + ESPHome as well, and that's on my list of issues I'd like to see resolved. To understand why this matters for a lot of controllers:
Audio amplifiers are often in the 50MHz range, in order to achieve good performance in the <20kHz range. Add to that, in this case, the desire for steady transitions so I don't have sudden light or noise changes (stepping through 255 states takes .
That said, holistically, this does what I want better than how I was going to do it.
The other major issue I have with HA is reliability. About 10% of the time, some automations don't work. I'd really like to be able to set state (blinds are down after 8pm) rather than actions (blinds go down at 8pm). If you have suggestions....
