You may want to look into Shelly relays. You wire them to the physical switch in the wall and can control them locally with Home Assistant or just individually via WiFi. Only downside for most folks (especially in the US it seems) is that they generally require a neutral wire to work.
It is probably way too late for that to make any difference, no?
Slander?! I resent that. In print its libel.
I see. Never used NFC for much other than mobile pay, pairing Bluetooth devices and occasionally reading NFC tags for specific tasks. RFID or NFC train passes aren’t a thing where I live and I don’t think I ever used Beam or something like it with NFC (nowadays there is Nearby Share which is just Bluetooth, I think). So I was confused why you would say Android removed NFC, because for me it works just like it has from the beginning.
NFC isn’t going anywhere, what are you on about?
The Home Assistant blog covered the whole thing very well: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/11/06/removal-of-myq-integration/
