I’ve been in my home for about 4 years now. It’s safe to say that over those 4 years, everything has gone to pot and now my smart home doesn’t work.
Everything is running through my network of Amazon Alexa’s. I have mostly Philips Hue bulbs with a few GE switches and Samsung Sensors connected through Samsung SmartThings. August Smart Locks. A few other odds and ends.
I’m to the point now where nothing in my Apple Home Kit shows as online anymore. None of my timed or sensor based automations work now.
I’m sure this is normal…right? Has this been your experience that everything slowly stops working? Any tips to keep things alive and fresh? Is the only solution to delete everything and start over?
Honestly, I haven’t don’t much research in recent years and this is the first I’ve heard of Home Assistant. What is there to know about it? And significant differences to setting it up?
