Our Internet went out for a few hours today, so naturally my smart switches, lights, cameras, motion sensors, door sensors, and power monitoring… continued to work as of nothing was wrong.
Home Assistant is great, and using local-only devices is awesome. If my smart home stops working it’s my own fault, not some 3rd party.

My router broke the other day. I had to replace it with a new one, incompatible with the old one’s backups.
That was painful, nothing worked for quite a while, save for zigbee devices which I couldn’t control anyway 'cause I couldn’t reach HA.
I have several of the same model of router, pre-flashed with OpenWRT, so (hopefully) I could quickly swap one in if my current one dies.
Mine’s a Mikrotik, cool hardware but man, do I miss OpenWRT every time I have to change a setting
