I don’t even have any significant automation but opening the dashboard is rare and a failure. Everything has physical switches and voice control, so I’m interacting with the home when I want to interact with the home. The dashboard is mainly when I want to see data or change something not easily done with voice.

I have not been able to get any of my family to install the app or be interested in interacting with it.

While better user account ts seem like an obvious thing to improve, I’ve never had a use for them
