| Amysen RGBW Bulbs | These WIFI smart bulbs work with Home Assistant with very little issue, however of the 10 or so I purchased over the span of about 3 months, only 3 remain in service. All the failed ones developed a driver whine (screech, really) within a short handful of months time. | 2025-08-07 | |
| Aqara Vibration Sensor | This was a pita to add to my HA. Once your HA is scanning for new devices, press and hold the button on the sensor for ~5 seconds until the lights flash, then you have to press it again (but don't hold it, press and release) every second or two until HA finds it. Even when I did manage to add it, it kept falling off of the Zigbee mesh, even though other devices within 10 feet of it maintain stable connections. At least it was cheap. | 2025-08-07 | |
| Aqara Water Leak Sensor | Minuses - The manual was unclear on how to put it in pairing mode - press the water droplet icon firmly until the hidden light flashes three times, then let go. After two months of usage I don't recommend it - it drops out of my Zigbee mesh a lot, even though it's five feet from a Smartthings motion detector that has no problems. Pluses - These ship ready to go - no messing with the battery, just press the button and you can add it to your Zigbee mesh. | 2025-08-07 | |
| Bambu Labs | Bambu announced a firmware change that prohibits using unauthorized third-party software from controlling the printer. More details are in this Reddit Thread. | 2025-01-20 | Don't upgrade your printer firmware |
| Belkin | Belkin has decided to drop the almost/often mandatory cloud functionality of some device (the whole Belkin Wemo range), effectively rendering them unusable. See It is no longer possible to pair these with Homekit or Thread. Do not buy. | 2026-02-23 | None |
| Bovac / Neato Vacuum | Neato/Bovac announced the end of the cloud service in 2025 for all the Neato connected products. After the cloud shutdown, devices can't be managed or monitored with the app and has to be started manually. | 2025-04-12 | You can regain control of your Neato vacuum locally with an ESPHome brainslug. |
| Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Door Controller with Security 2.0 | Chamberlain shut off all access to its APIs.
See - Chamberlain's Press Release
- The Verge's coverage
| 2023-11-07 | Replace with a better solution:- opengarage.io - Their hardware design and software code (including both firmware and app code) and API documents are publicly available in the OpenGarage github repository
- ratgdo is another solution with open source firmware that works with Security+ 2.0 openers.
- Konnected.io Smart Garage Door Opener is based on ESPHome and has an HA integration
|
| Chamberlain's MyQ Security 3.0 | Chamberlain is doubling down on locking people out of controlling their own garage door openers. See reddit. They've switched to Bluetooth controllers, and exclude pairing to any devices not built by them. | 2025-12-04 | Solder an ESP32/8266 to the button contacts on a remote. Hacky, but they can't disable that |
| Generac Mobilelink | There's a long history of Generac breaking logins, the integration dev fixing it, and Generac breaking it again. | 2026-02-23 | None |
| Ariston Remotethermo | Continuous disconnection of API. Not only did they break the integration, they log you out of their own crapware for as long as you're trying to use the integration. | 2024-11-15 | None. |
| Arlo Cameras | Per reddit, actively blocks attempts to access them. Uses rolling short-lived tokens to make it even more annoying to integrate. | 2024-11-15 | None |
| Astral Pool Halo Chlorinator | Per DanielNagy/astralpool_halo_chlorinator and community.home-assistant.io, firmware versions newer than 2.3. | 2024-11-16 | None |
| Blink Cameras | Per reddit thread, randomly marks videos as seen in their app when connected to HA. | 2024-11-15 | None. |
| BMW | BMW turned off all 3rd party access to their APIs. See details in home assistant core issue 149750 and on reddit at bmw_kills_home_assistant_integration_to_protect. | 2025-09-10 | |
| Ecobee thermostats | "As of March 28th, 2024, ecobee is no longer accepting new developer subscriptions, nor are existing developer accounts able to create new API keys. There is no ETA for when they will be allowed again. Existing API keys will continue to function." | 2024-11-15 | Their HomeKit integration still works, so your HA can connect via that. It's less robust than a direct connection, though. |
| Eight Sleep Beds | Locked part of the API behind a paywall. | 2024-11-15 | Lucas Clarke's integration. Subject to breakage if they change their API again. |
| Eufy cameras | Per reddit, the community integration is hit or miss due to flakiness on the Eufy side. Disables RTSP if you don't let it phone home for more than 48 hours. Requires disabling a bunch of security stuff to access the RTSP stream even when it does work. | 2024-11-15 | None |
| GM OnStar | GM changes or voids API keys, which makes it really hard for the integration developers to keep up. | 2024-11-15 | OnStar JS is an unofficial NodeJS library to make OnStar requests. Instability is because the devs have to chase GM changes. |
| Google Nest 1st and 2nd gen | Google officially announced end of support. | 2025-10-25 | nolongerevil.com breathes new life into bricked and outdated Nest Generation 1 & 2 thermostats. Repurpose your old hardware with our custom software and enjoy a beautiful, modern control interface. |
| iRobot Roomba j7 | Per reddit, cannot be added directly through the HA integration. Firmware version 3.20.7 stopped reporting tracking and broke realtime maps. | 2024-11-14 | Reportedly you can use koalazak/dorita980 to hack it into compliance, but it doesn't work with the stock roomba integration |
| Jaguar / Land Rover | Per reddit, they've changed their API authentication and broken API access. | 2024-11-15 | None |
| Kasa light bulbs | The KL135 (and probably others) reset themselves every 10 minutes if their internet is blocked, which makes them go offline for a minute during the reset. | 2024-11-15 | Let them phone home. |
| Kasa smart plugs | EP25 plugs won't do energy monitoring without internet access. For details, see this reddit thread. | None | |
| Mazda | The Home Assistant Blog has the details.
TL;DR they sent a cease and desist order to the Mazda Home Assistant Integration's author. | 2023-11-09 | None |
| Ooma VOIP | No API, no integration. | 2024-11-15 | None |
| Philips Hue | Philips is forcing users to "upgrade" to a version of their Philips app that requires login to a cloud account. See How-To Geek. | 2023-11-07 | Use a generic Zigbee coordinator instead of the Philips one |
| RecTeq Smokers | Tuya based, but per reddit, they pushed an update that locked people out of their smokers. | 2024-11-15 | None |
| Shark Vacuums | Shark has altered the API and broken the SharkIQ integration. See sharkiq/issues/51. This is an vendor problem, please don't harass the sharkiq maintainer. | 2024-11-14 | None |
| Smart (Car) | Mercedes, the company owning Smart, arbitrarily disables access to their API for third parties. See ReneNulschDE/mbapi2020/287. | 2025-10-06 | Connect to your car via OBD (WiCan/MeatPI or similar) |
| SmartThings Platform API | Samsung announced that it will start charging for API access in October of 2026 | 2026-08-08 | None |
| Tesla (Powerwall) | Tesla have updated their gateway firmware to progressively hobble it, reducing the ability for owners to monitor their devices. This has reached peak enshittification with firmware version 24.36.2 and later with Gateway 1 vintage gateways. Although you can temporarily gain access by going through the I forgot my password routine via the Tesla Energy Gateway (TEG) WiFi access point, and log in to the integration in Home Assistant immediately with the new password, the gateway itself forgets the new password within an hour, and once the login cookie expires, any logged in device loses access. | 2024-02-02 | Tesla Fleet provides a dramatically reduced subset of information |
| Tesla | Tesla is now Charging for API access to the vehicle API. They're adding a new Fleet API that costs money to use. The Owner API is working for now, but it's unclear when/if support for it is going to be dropped. | 2024-12-15 | None |
| Wyze Cameras | Wyze used to have a RTSP firmware which worked well (I have one) but then they abandoned it. | 2024-11-15 | Thingino has some open source firmwares which may work. Additionally, the wz_mini_hacks firmware works well with many of their cameras. |
