Is there a curated list of recommended IoT devices? (lemmy.world)

Pretty much what the title says. I want some ideas on what smart home devices are good and play nicely with the Home assistant. I know Tuya for example are more or less fine, Shelly are good but overpriced, in my opinion. I am also using Hue, which works great but costs a lot.

I am planning to revamp my whole IoT setup and Home Assistant and migrate from Docker running on top of RPi to a VM setup. I have a Sonoff ZigBee gateway and plan to try to add all devices to it.

No idea what you mean with that statement.

For example tuya is an example of white label brand and other companies are buying their products in bulk and doing OEM with some shitty software on top of it and charging a premium.

5€ for a tuya switch, 7€ for a double button, 15€ for a din switch (talking about WiFi), local tuya is available: they beat all competitors imo
