Question

Posted (edited)

I am no longer receiving email notifications as of Saturday. What happened? 

Does anyone have the same problem?

 

ps. Fibaro is a really poor product; I’m going to try switching to Home Assistant asap.

Hi, 

 

Could you please share some additional details so we can better understand and identify the issue?

 

Best regards

Hi @robbyzz,

 

this is your personal opinion, so why telling it publicly? Why need confirmation from others, except if you are actually not sure?

Does your ISP provide you with 100% internet availability?

Maybe you can read this thread to learn few thing more about differences between HA systems you mention:

and pay attention to @tinman and @cag014 posts.

From working with HC2/HC3/Yubii/HC3L, most stability issues come from user‑side factors—misconfigured parameters, weak Z‑Wave/Zigbee mesh, excessive polling, or heavy LUA/QA logic. With a clean network and controlled traffic, the hubs are very reliable.

Fibaro does have quirks: occasional firmware regressions, missing device templates, sensitivity to chatty devices, and Zigbee support that’s still maturing.

 

Switching to Home Assistant won’t magically solve the underlying issues if the root cause is misconfiguration, overloaded traffic, or a poorly designed Z‑Wave/Zigbee mesh. HA is powerful, but it’s also far more complex and far less forgiving—if your network or logic is inefficient, the same problems will follow you there.

Fibaro’s hubs aren’t “poor products”; they’re just sensitive to bad mesh design, chatty devices, and heavy scenes/QAs. HA has its own challenges: YAML complexity, breaking changes, inconsistent device integrations, and the need for constant maintenance. If those fundamentals aren’t fixed, no platform—Fibaro, HA, or anything else—will behave well.

If your system is clean, the mesh is solid, and scenes/QAs are optimized, Fibaro runs extremely stable.
