Home Assistant Device Database public preview

The Open HomeFoundation, which governs the Home Assistanthome-automation project, has announcedthe "public preview" of its DeviceDatabase:

Providing a public, open way to browse the anonymous, aggregateddevice data we collect was always part of the plan, and this previewis our first step toward it.

You can already use it to search and filter devices to seeaggregated community insights, starting with a deliberately focusedset of specifics, such as whether a device requires an internetconnection, and which protocols and integrations it works with. We'vekept that initial scope narrow on purpose, giving us a solidfoundation we can build on together with you, our community, as thedatabase grows.
