I've never got what the point of Home Assistant is, seems to be it'll talk to a load of smart devices and advertises you can control it with Alexa but at what point why not just have Alexa itsself control the devices?
Not all smart devices are intercompatible with each other, but Home Assistant is agnostic and tries to work with everything. Most people tend to have automations based on things that Alexa or Google Assistant can't handle.
It may be overkill if you only have a few smart lights that Alexa can handle, but once you have a hundred or more different devices... yeah, managing all of that becomes pretty complicated!
If you share your Plex library with friends and family like I do, highly recommend looking into Overseerr! I had tried using OMBI before but it was a pain to get set up--actually I never succeeded and gave up. Overseerr was very simple, just another Docker container like so many others, really. Integration with Radarr and Sonarr was seamless for me.
thanks. I think I tried it some time ago but we end up never using it. we only watch it at home and my mother's and she just text me when she wants something.
Sometimes one or the other has a recent updates that causes problems, or a random movie won't play right. It's rare, but since both connect to the same NAS where all of my media is stored, running both is pretty easy and it's nice to have a backup.
