Yep, been running it for a couple years at least? Mostly ZigBee and Zwave devices. For lights, some other powered devices, temperature control, and in-house location tracking.

It's not always intuitive, but always figure it out eventually. There's a homeassistant community at !homeassistant@lemmy.world which might be helpful if you have questions.
