Printing emails based on Message Filters, does not seem possible
All of my office devices are connected to Sonoff S31 smart plugs, flashed with Tasmota on their own locked-down VLAN, and can be controlled via voice, Alexa, Tasker automation on my Android, NFC tags at my office door and various scripts triggered via my StreamDeck (on Linux). This all works fantastic, and I can turn on or off my devices, including my printer, when I start or end my day at work.

Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates
The best alternative firmware example for true IOT devices is Tasmota [1]. Erase manufacturer firmware for every ESP devices the day after purchase to avoid those careless manufacturer firmwares.

Sonoff smart plugs
The ESP8266 based Sonoff S31 and ESP32 based Switchbot plugs, both flashed with either Tasmota or ESPHome, are my go-to options for US WiFi smart plugs with power monitoring.

Add $4 WiFi Logging to IKEA’s $12 Air Quality Sensor (Wemos and Vindriktning)
And if you want to turn your ESP8266 into a standalone appliance, with a web interface and directly editable config that doesn't need a build step, Tasmota is another great option.

Get me my data!
If you have some Pthyon experience, you should be able to use something like TinyTuya to pull DP data from your Tuya devices. Alternatively, you can use Tuya-Cloudcutter to flash a local-only firmware like ESPHome/LibreTiny or OpenBeken which have much easier integration options (local open API, HTTP, MQTT, etc).

Sonoff smart plugs
The S40 plugs switched from the ESP8266 MCU in the S31 to a BL602 MCU, so you'll need to flash using OpenBeken or LibreTiny

A decent way to control Tuya (merkury) bulbs without Google?
Since it’s tuya you could install custom firmware (openbeken) for fully local control and use device group feature to sync the light colors without relying on cloud.

Looking for a few products and ideas Lighting/Plugs mostly.
Tuya devices, and the Tuya-based Monster, Greeni, etc stuff can be connected to HA using the Tuya Integration, or converted to local-only using Tuya Cloudcutter and connected to HA using Local Tuya, or even flashed with Tasmota, ESPHome/Libre Tiny, or OpenBeken.

Device with WB2L chip EspHome Integration - OpenBeken or solder in an ESP chip?
A: OpenBeken: What are your opinions of it? I haven't played with it yet, but it being a non native means of getting it into ESPhome has me concerned about stability and project support. Not having to modify the hardware would be nice.

What exactly am I supposed to do to keep Tuya exposed to Homebridge? Keep getting these emails and don’t really know what to do, instructions don’t match up to site
I did this with mine, https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App

is it possible to make tuya devices local? aka plug bulbs smart doorbell smart floodlight if so how im stuck
So now I'm trying to re-flash with OpenBK7231T (https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App) not sure how it will work out, but check it out if your devices can be re-flashed.
