Of course not. Now there's a third way - Blueprints.

I've bitched about HA before and won't rehash all of it. The project requires a lot of time investment and the devs care mainly about playing with the latest tooling. From introducing and sunsetting a major installation method in the span of ~4 years to dropping Python 3.7 despite it not being EOL until 2023, I don't have time or patience to relearn everything with every little release.

Switched to Hubitat earlier this year. The GUI is ugly and there's a small learning curve. However it just works.
