This has absolutely nothing to do with my gear.
I am not "blaming" HA at all. I am blaming the hundreds of people on the internet who constantly insist that everyone should use it, and that it's "easy to use".
Copngratulations. You are clearly significantly more experienced than I am with technology. Along with 95% of the general population.
Asking me why I would update my install is a strange question. All the same reasons anyone else would update their installs. All the same reasons they continue to create updates.
Yes, I was using cheap crap. Mostly from Aqara. Once again, the gear was never the problem. The problem was the HA configuration.
None of it needed any cloud connections other than whatever moron decided to distribute integrations directly through Github.
