This is why, going forward, smart home products I buy have to be zigbee or zwave so I can integrate it with home assistant.

I thought this comment was trolling then I realized that zigbee and zwave are real brand names. You can’t make this shit up.

Yeah that's how things are now.

I was looking for kitchen scale and not a single recognisable brand was there on Amazon. No Phillips, Bosch, Siemens, Panasonic etc.

Don't know if these companies even make things like that anymore.

Yeah Amazon has opened the door to the lowest quality hardware out of China to put most name brands out of business for lower priced goods.
