My Tado thermostats depend on the cloud using the Tado integration (I think I could make them work locally only but Im not 100% sure). I have some tuya smart switches and blinds controllers that can not be flashed to tasmota, so I use the tuya integration that depends in the cloud.

… a 'smart' air conditioning unit. It's hard to predict how long they'll continue to support firmware upgrades. I'd go with an IR based control for it - Tado make AC controllers which interface over IR and seem to have a good catalogue of different AC remotes. They have a cloud based API, or you can add the AC modules as homekit devices and interact with them over the local network.

Tado is entirely cloud based, if the internet goes down so does your heating. Home assistant integration is also cloud based, so could be removed at any time. That said I've got a tado system and it seems to work pretty well, have had the odd dropout though. I probably would have gone for a more DIY solution, but I live with my parents so any whole house stuff needs to be easy for them to use and maintain once I'm gone.

Humidity sensor not exposed to HomeKit
tado humidity sensor lacks device class

The problem I am using homekit to expose my tado devices. The reason for this is because tado themselves don't seem to provide an option to filter which devices are exposed, so I end up with a lot of thermostats I'm not interested in. The humidity sensors are not exposed to homekit however, as they require both the unit of measurement (%) and device-class (humidity) set. The tado integration is missing the latter. ## Environment - Home Assistant Core release with the issue: 0.118.5 (that's what I'm running) - Last working Home Assistant Core release (if known): n/a - Operating environment …
