This is my simple thank-you letter to everyone that has contributed to Home Assistant :D
I started using HomeAssistant around 2 years ago as the first step to a local only (selfhosted) life. When I first moved from HomeBridge to Home Assistant (for the Google Users in my family and for me) I was BLOWN away from how many Integrations, dashboard cards, and more were there. You can add anything, from a PS5 to a doorbell into Home Assistant, thanks to the community! Also, its open source!
I've automated only a few things with Home Assistant, but one that really stood out to me is when I automated my printer to send me a notification when the ink fell bellow 20%. That blew my mind, because there is NO other smart home setup / service that can allow a PRINTER to be added to a home app xD
Thank you to all the devs, creators, artists, and the community for making Home Assistant the best!
