> I think the greater context is that the Home Assistant developers are somewhat hostile to people running, and especially packaging, their software outside of their own supported methods..

The person proposing the Nix package is a Home assistant developer afaik, so that would be weird.

Well, Home Assistant is a large project with lots of contributors, so it's not surprising that its developers don't have a singular opinion. However, this is the impression I get from the official announcements and other interactions I've seen on GitHub.

Another incident was when they deprecated/unsupported installing it on a generic Linux install last year, which they had to (somewhat) back down from after community outrage.

Yes, fabaff is a bigger home-assistant contributor to my knowledge and started to help out packaging a lot of the missing python libraries for NixOS.
