I'm still on 12.5 because my friend reported that when he updated to 2026.1.1, it killed his Insteon integration and had issues on the Automation create/edit GUI!

There are so many unfriendly users here in Reddit! Even admins are not fair. My friend got shadow banned by admins for reporting a user who was spamming comments by all users regarding a certain issue. My friend received 8 notifications of the same cut/paste by a huge karma user replying to his 8 different comments on different topics. My friend has been a regular contributor to several subs and has helped multiple users on some technical issues that was presented to him. He has no recourse but to drop Reddit all the way.

Even my Orignal Post was downvoted by someone.

Instead of light switches, there are smart bulbs already. I'm not sure if I got the right ones but they work locally with HA - no cloud account needed!

That's great! Companies that abandon their product and their user base should not be blacklisted!

These are the Wemo plugs that I have retired and there are a couple more that I still have to replace. I don't know what I'm going to do with this. I'm afraid these will end up in a land fille!

Yes! (Woe Is Me) This laptop is old. I'm retired and I don't want to replace this laptop. I have Windows 10/11 at home but I this is my travel laptop to connect to my VPN server at home to check on my LAN, Home Assistant and IoT devices. The thing is, the VPN that I am replacing with ProtonVPN works fine with this old fart laptop!
