11 months agoyou may be interested in the open-source “Home Assistant”. it’s a free home automation hub thingy that supports practically every brand and protocol out there, including Shelly. if you’re technical enough to set it up, free yourself from proprietary apps!
every site i checked lists this at $65+ for the base model… is this even a Raspberry Pi at that point? 2x the performance for 2x the price isn’t actually much of a deal, and they stuck to the $35 MSRP so doggedly before (even if resellers tended to jack it up). their competitors must be breathing a sigh of relief.
