Home Assistant! I got a cheap refurbished mini PC for 60 bucks and a zigbee stick for 12 or so, been running HA for a year now, it works very well and pairs perfectly with the IKEA zigbee stuff. I have it read the alarm from my phone and turn on radio on a wifi speaker and smart lights at that time. Kitchen light is now automatic with a little motion sensor and ESP I got from AliExpress for a few bucks. Everything is completely local, no internet access. It’s great!

Ok but why is it too difficult for American manufacturers and not for Chinese ones?

That doesn’t answer the question though, does it? I’ve been using a silicon carbon battery phone for over a year now and it’s the best battery experience I have ever had with any phone, by far. And it’s a foldable!

Charging is also the fastest I’ve ever experienced in a phone. 5000mAh and 60W PD charging.

I will never buy a lithium battery phone again, ever. So if Samsung wants me back as a customer, they will have to switch. And I don’t understand why American and Korean phone manufacturers are taking so long with this.
