I have been considering starting an IoT company that just packages home assistant and zigbee devices so that people who don't want to mess with computers can just have something set up quickly. Then no matter what, all of their things still work.
ESPHome could pretty easily be used as the basis for an IOT device manufacturer, provided they can sell the individual devices at a high enough margin. I'd gladly pay a pretty big premium for open software on open hardware, especially for something as potentially invasive as an IOT product.
Very true. Even for low power devices there is the esp32-h2 , which can be programmed with Arduino. I know zigbee can push new firmware to devices, but I don't know if you can push new Arduino code it.
