I think it would be really good to have built-in support for esphome. It would open up the use of a lot of affordable products that are already on the market. The community app that already exists is far too difficult for ordinary users. ---

Definitely 👍🏼 Comprehensive Esphome support would be a main keeper for me, not to switch away to HA. I love the UI and hardware of the Homey, and the app universe makes sense in consumer land. However a robust and up to date ESPhome support comes in as a welcome brain transplant whenever a commercial product stops supporting their proprietary cloud infrastructure and what else they’ve mad ein oldfashioned ways. So 💪 if Homey builds on the abandoned ESPHome app and carries it into Homey 1.5 capabilities and opens up for labeled toggle switches and dynamic enums. Then surely homey remains a keeper no matter what the market decides.
