I saw in a recent video Dave was setting up Home Assistant to play with, and I'm also using HA.
Just wondering if there might be enough demand for a home automation section on the forum.
I would be down for a Home Automation section.

Reflashing consumer Wifi/BT/Zigbee wall plugs, lighting controllers, dimmers to run locally instead of routing everything through china. (ESPHome, tasmota etc..)
I'm actually reflashing some Shelly devices to ESPHome while writing this, just waiting for Home Assistant to finish compiling ESPHome firmware.
