What we check

For every device: can it be controlled on your own network, does it need the manufacturer's cloud, does it need custom firmware first, and how does Home Assistant's own integration for it connect. Each answer links to the source it was checked against, with the date. If we haven't verified something, the table says so instead of guessing.
