Haha yeah they're IoT protocols for smarthome stuff. But an open source software called Home Assistant can talk to it, so you can self-host your home automation without your home being subject to the whims of some fragile tech startup and by extension, their investors.

Oh I see, that’s helpful and makes sense. I’m one of those newbs who took 15 hours to set up my own Jellyfin. Self hosting Home automation is a ways off in the distance for me haha.

Hey, same! Glad it was helpful.

And hey it sounds like after 15 hours you DID get it set up, so congrats! The skills learned will keep transferring to your next projects. If you're having fun, you're winning. :)

Home Assistant has a pretty rad community and guides on which devices it can use and stuff. They're trying really hard to be accessible to the curious. So hey, never know!
