The TRUTH About Home Assistant [Vs SmartThings]

For my 1 Month Anniversary on YouTube, I deliver the hard truths of Home Assistant to help people interested in Smart Home technology determine if it's right for them. Throughout, I use SmartThings, ActionTiles, SmartTools and Hubitat as benchmarks of automation capabilities and expenditures of time. If you subscribed to this channel, and you use Home Assistant, please laugh along with me and let me know if you relate. I'd hate to lose any subscribers, so please do not take personally. Home Assistant is by far the most powerful automation hub, but it comes at a significant expense of your time and labor. If you have the brainpower I don't have, more power to you!
