It's definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.

What a hilarious oversight with that experiment lol! He must have felt stupid when it was pointed out to him.

If you want to simplify the maintenance burden of nagios-like setups, look into OMD by CheckMK.

Those are definitely all valid points, though I feel a bit of UI work making it abundantly clear that it's not encrypted in case of SMS and an option perhaps to fully disable SMS in settings if you really don't want it would have helped further adoption. I feel like they are optimizing for a rather small subset of users and thereby hurting the rest.

While I still use and sort of like Signal, I feel that dropping SMS support was the wrong choice and I don't like the direction they are going. They are also against federation which I also don't like. I've stopped recommending Signal to people.

Oh I definitely agree. But still; when I'm running Windows the filesystem is very low on my list of annoyances.

You'd still be running Windows though so why bother

Well it's not 2024 yet.

As it's kind of implied at this point I thought I'd leave it out for once ;-)

But yes I do use Arch, btw.

Might want to look into Linux :-)

You'd need a way to run HomeAssistant and some interface to talk Zigbee, like the Conbee 2 or the SkyConnect mentioned here. I was looking into purchasing the SkyConnect last week after hearing about this Philips Hue crap but am not convinced it's the way to go, I found several reports of reduced range with SkyConnect compared to the Conbee. See for example https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-ii-vs-skyconnect-performance/545759/2 or https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/86231. Personally waiting a bit before I purchase either option as I have a hub that works now, but leaning towards the Conbee2 at the moment.
