I'm assuming everyone has Zigbee2MQTT, but what do you all have beyond that?

I don't use Zigbee2MQTT, I just buy appropiate ZHA hardware to keep things simple.

Addons: qBitTorrent, VS Code, File Browser, Advanced Terminal

Integrations: Google Cloud (Text-to-Speech), Haier hOn, Samsung SmartThings, Tuya.

I found Tuya to be such a massive pain in the ass that I just ended up ripping out all devices.

The main integration would just randomly stop working when my developer account expired and required an evening of frustrating clicking through poorly translated slow as molasses Chinese websites to re-enable.
Localtuya was spectacularly half baked for my devices.

Has anything changed? Is there a special secret to getting Tuya stuff to work reliably?

So far so good. I honestly use it because I bought a couple of things before realising the world of ZHA existed.
