HomeAssistant, it's such an awesome Tool.
You want to combine your plant sensors with air quality sensors and an plant light? Easily done.
You want to forward your mastodon follower count to an mqtt-LED-Pixel-Clock? No problem.

It feels very limited and cumbersome compared to regular programming.

Yeah, as far as FOSS I almost actually can't live without: HomeAssistant controls my spring pump to the cistern so that the pipes don't freeze.
