HomeAssistant publishes "IoT Class" for all of it's integrations ranging from "Local Push" to "Cloud Polling": https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...
I only use "Local Polling" or better, and highly prefer "Local Push".
thanks, that's a useful filter. i started moving to home assistant last year but i still want honor the same rules (mostly, again they are guidelines to strive for!).
Do you have any favorites for single smart plug or multi switch smart plug strip? I used to be a heavy tp link kasa user since they have smart plug strips that worked locally (polling I think and not push) but I am now doing my best to move everything to plugs that don't even need setup through an app, just home assistant. Wish I had thought about this more when I first started with home automation but I think the migration will be worth it.
