Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.

That’s how it starts. Before you know it you’ll be buying no-name smart bulbs from Ali Baba and investigating custom firmware for full local only control.

Have you done other home automation that you could compare it to?

Not really. Only the odd thing on a brand’s app, which isn’t really comparable.
