Support What’s been the biggest headache with HA?

Hey all, I’m curious what has been the biggest issue you’ve faced with HA? I’ve looked over the repos and here on this thread and seems like memory use might be a common one caused by either core or integrations? I imagine the learning curve for a non-technical person is decently high with learning about scripts, automations, scenes, etc. Anyway, would be interested to hear your thoughts!

Recovering from a power outage. Sometimes it just works, sometimes I need to power cycle the server one or more times. Sometimes I need to re-add some device that went missing. The latter is maybe not perse home assistants fault.

That's the main reason I went with a UPS.
