I do understand what you're saying, but not everyone will or should self host.

I don't know when you've tried the setup, but it's gotten to a point where i do find it very easy.

If you go the way with a pre built device too, all you have to do is creating an account and plenty device pop up immediately without any further steps.

The new step by step automation creation was all which was left to improve.

If you fail at that, you probably fail at other solutions too
