My monthly battle with the dreadful mess that is @ThreeUKSupport customer service. If anyone at 3 tried to be a customer they might have a shock. 15 years I've been a customer, now going to pay £300 to exit the contracts just to be away from the service.

@tomasmcguinness We started with portable and ditched it as the pipe out the window was not working well. For not much more money we have proper aircon on 4 rooms which of course can heat as well. It's worth the extra.

@MakeItWorkTech 100% agree, cloud only if you don't rely on it as it will stop working when the mfr inevitably turns off the server one day. Local local local. All critical items should be local.

The latest lighting control tweaks in @home_assistant are fabulous, thank you to the dedicated devs that make it better each month. Still out guns all the commercial offerings out there, even the very expensive ones (if you build your set up carefully)

@EverySmartHome For me it was presence, as we know there are now solutions for that! 😊 We used to have many wants but moving to HA nailed all of them. Our house is solid stable and intelligent. A "pro" bridge from hue to remove so many hubs would be nice.
