I switched to Lock Code Manager once I got my second lock. It's just like key master except it doesn't shit 300 helpers per lock all over your instance.

Mitsubishi Kumo Cloud WiFi dongleWorks LocalHACS integration controls it locally without Kumo cloud
Saved copy
… get this all set up and for a much lower cost. I had attempted to go this route a few years back before ultimately biting the bullet and buying the $200 WiFi dongle. The saving grace is that there is a HACS integration for controlling it locally without Kumo cloud. https://github.com/dlarrick/hass-kumo

… However google told me, that ecobee products may have HomeKit. Those can be added to HA: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit_controller/ For Arlo, at least the Hacs integration gets updates regularly https://github.com/twrecked/hass-aarlo

Audi carPartly works CloudWorks mostly; needs periodic reload
Saved copy
Wife's got an Audi. There's a custom integration for it that works for the most part. It needs to be reloaded from time to time, but we've had connectivity issues with the Audi app anyways, so that might be an Audi issue and not a HA one.

Hive heating systemPartly works LocalOne user frustrated with HA; another controls it locally via Zigbee and MQTT
Saved copy
I moved into my current house and it had Hive, I don't think I'd have thought about it otherwise. Turns out you can control it completely locally with zigbee and MQTT (there is a HACS integration but I use a few simple MQTT commands instead).

Nest ProtectPartly works CloudNeeds HACS and extracted Google session tokens; cannot mute alarm from HA
Saved copy
The Nest Protect I think is pretty dang good, just wish it was less "Google". You need a HACS integration and to extract valid Google session tokens in order for it to work, and I believe I'm unable to mute the alarm or disable the "heads up" from HASS. I love the heads up feature... It gives you a less-obnoxious vocal warning that the alarm is about to sound and gives you 5-10 seconds to disarm it if it's going to go off. Wish I didn't have to use the nest app for that. Also, having the battery reporting and self testing features is so useful

Sunsynk inverter with Wi-Fi donglePartly works CloudDongle has no local API; cloud polling only, local control possible via RS485
Saved copy
I built a native Home Assistant integration for Sunsynk / Deye solar inverters (no add-on, no YAML, HACS ready). Hey everyone, I've been running Sunsynk inverters with HA for a while and the existing solution was an add-on, a separate Docker sidecar process with manual YAML config. I wanted proper entities, a real device model, and Config Flow UI, so I rewrote it from scratch as a native integration. The problem with local integrations: The Sunsynk Wi-Fi dongle has no local API whatsoever, it only talks to the Sunsynk cloud. So cloud polling is the only option regardless of approach, but at …

Literally anything that relies on a cloud server or non-native integration to work, in my case Tapo smart devices, for example.
