I've replaced all of HA with just some Python interacting with an MQTT server. I just script all the automation and don't have to care about the other 90% of what HomeAssistant brings to the table.

Not for everyone obviously but it's simple and works well.



Have you looked into AppDaemon or Pyscript, both provide a Python interface to HA.

They let you use HA's massive library of supported devices, but you don't need to bother with their YAML "programming" horrorshow.


I haven't because what's described didn't really suit my needs. I can run my own daemon that will handle the integration with MQTT, and that's all I needed.
