On: Xiaomi Home Integration for Home Assistant

yeah I f'ing love HA, it's my favourite hobby. But as it turns out I'm a programmer so I guess it fits :D

HA is only good for normies if there's a techie setting it up and keeping it running.

I have an Apple HomePod Mini (with Matter support), and HA with Homebridge, and every now and then I see evidence in HA of tighter integration. Not sure where it might all end up tho. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some day it will magically become self-aware and make everything "just work".

You probably don't need Homebridge if you run HA. You can expose whatever you like from HA to HomeKit so it works great with Apple devices.
