I have always been amazed by the Home Assistant project. When it comes to home automation, there is literally no competition to it. There are infinite ways of adding every type of device, provided it exposes some API or some sort. There are already thousands of connectors available in the platform marketplace which are stable and maintained regularly. All these connectors allow from the temperature sensor to full-fledged energy monitors to Home Assistant.

As it is evident, I also have added a lot of devices to my setup, thanks to the Tuya IoT platform, which helps me to add very cheap devices available on Amazon or in Aliexpress to my Home Assistant setup. I do not have to purchase fancy expensive devices to control lights or plugs.

Today I want to discuss a specific device by which using these devices has become a breeze. It has helped me control my home automation devices without a phone or without yelling Alexa or Siri or Google Assistant.
