If I can’t run it with home assistant, I’m buying a dumb device instead.

Trying to buy an automated feeder for my cat was a nightmare. Why does everything have a camera and require an internet connection to China? Everything was on tuya! It’s fucking ridiculous. You don’t need cloud processing for this shit. Finding something that’s just a timer worth a battery backup that wouldn’t fail to feed my cat if the power or internet briefly went out took way too much effort.
