Hah, the staff on Assistant working on home integrations measured in the hundreds (I used to work adjacent to those teams). Of course most of them were either laid off or reassigned to other projects, so it's pretty likely that Assistant will stop working soon, if it hasn't already.

Hold up....Home Assistant staff has been recently cut in a way that you think the entire thing is likely to stop working in the near future?

That is a very major claim to be making. If that's true (or even plausible) it's a very huge deal. Is there anywhere I could read about any of that?

-edit- also I'm either misunderstanding your comment or learning something very major about HA. I didn't realize it was a cohesive enough entity to have "staff" that could be moved around/laid off.

I'm guessing when they're saying "Assistant" they're talking about Google. Not HA.

[MostlyStable]

That makes more sense, you're right.

They must be talking about teams at Amazon, Google, or Samsung. HomeAssistant doesn't have hundreds of staff to begin with.

It takes a lot more to deal with/manage these integrations than some on HN ever realize, especially when these stories come up.
