The level of difficulty in setting up a device with HA is ridiculous. I'm a computer tech for 30 years, and I have to pull my hair out to make anything work with that system. How non-tech people are supposed to deal with it is unimaginable. It's not straightforward, easy, simple, intuitive, or really useful since it requires a PHD to operate.
