The Open Home Foundation launches
We created the Open Home Foundation to fight for the fundamental principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. And every person who lives in one.Ahead of today, we've transferred over 240 projects, standards, drivers, and libraries—Home Assistant, ESPHome, Zigpy, Piper, Improv Wi-Fi, Wyoming, and so many more—to the Open Home Foundation. This is all about looking into the future. We've done this to create a bulwark against surveillance capitalism, the risk of buyout, and open-source projects becoming abandonware. To an extent, this protection extends even against our future selves—so that smart home users can continue to benefit for years, if not decades. No matter what comes.

Fortunately, "surveillance capitalism" is not the only kind of "surveillance" opensource helps fight against, even though the other kind wasn't mentioned in the blog post; but I take it :)

The stated goals, I like.
Having dealt with various home automation/control systems for over 10 years (yes, including X10) I have to say Nabu Casa left about the worst taste in my mouth.
This has the earmarks of a PR blitz.

Why? Implementation quality or business practices?
