Picked these two up this weekend in Virginia and both added to HA easily and are working great so far. I still can't figure out how this stuff is this cheap....

Since so many of us come here to vent or find solutions to problems, I figured I'd make a post about how seamless things are actually going in my home assistant setup right now. I've been using HA for about five years and I currently have 70 zwave devices, 40 zigbee devices,10 matter over thread devices (Ikea), several wifi devices, a dozen Bluetooth devices (Switchbot )and plenty of other devices added via various integrations. With few exceptions, all my devices have required very little hair pulling to get running and it's all humming along nicely. I only have a few complex automations, I'm not a heavy fancy dashboard guy but I do occasionally use Google to control the system by voice (which is usually my only recurring issue). I just added in a few more Ikea matter devices this morning and things went so well, I thought it'd be nice to see a post like this. Huuuuuge thanks to the folks at home assistant for this awesome platform as well as everyone in this group and so many others for all the support. This is my favorite hobby😁
