I’m in a similar situation and my strategy is to play the long game and win on convenience. I am giving my partner a curated HA dashboard as an option (vs the native apps). Once I feel like an integration is “production ready”, I put it in the curated dashboard. That way, she can choose her preferred interaction method… with the hope that eventually she’d just prefer HA and the functionality would be relatively equal without the cloud stuff.

I’m dreaming big

Oh for sure. This whole thing is a rabbit hole. PiHole\Adguard is definitely on my to-do list

I’m currently watching through all of Voyager for the first time. I’m on the tail end of Season 4. Neelix is insufferable in the first few seasons. He’s got redeeming qualities, but they’re overshadowed by his narcissism and immaturity. I have to admit, at this point in the series, he has really redeemed himself and I see him as quirky but measured.

Did his character get better writing or do I just “know” him better?
