Putting things under the Open Home Foundation seems like interesting choice. Can you speak more on that and about the foundation generally?
The way the world works, you need to be either a company or a non-profit to be able to partner with the industry. Just being an open source project is not enough.
Since the launch of the foundation, we see a large uptick in companies and universities reaching out to partner with Home Assistant. A lot of manufacturers are very happy to see that an independent platform is being established as alternative to the big tech platforms. Universities want to collaborate on energy and privacy research for the smart home. We've also seen some industry donations (ie DuckDuckGo) to support our work.
