 | [Aqara Vibration Sensor](https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJT939B) | This was a pita to add to my HA.<p> Once your HA is scanning for new devices, press and hold the button on the sensor for ~5 seconds until the lights flash, then you have to press it again (but don't hold it, press and release) every second or two until HA finds it.<p>Even when I did manage to add it, it kept falling off of the Zigbee mesh, even though other devices within 10 feet of it maintain stable connections. At least it was cheap. | 2025-08-07 | |
 | [Aqara Water Leak Sensor](https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07D39MSZS) | Minuses - <p>The manual was unclear on how to put it in pairing mode - press the water droplet icon firmly until the hidden light flashes three times, then let go.<p>After two months of usage I don't recommend it - it drops out of my Zigbee mesh a lot, even though it's five feet from a Smartthings motion detector that has no problems.<p>Pluses - <p>These ship ready to go - no messing with the battery, just press the button and you can add it to your Zigbee mesh. | 2025-08-07 | |
 | [Bambu Labs](https://bambulab.com) | Bambu announced a [firmware change](https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/) that prohibits using unauthorized third-party software from controlling the printer. More details are in this [Reddit Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1i3gq1t/why_you_should_care_about_bambu_labs_removing/). | 2025-01-20 | Don't upgrade your printer firmware |

 | Ariston Remotethermo | [Continuous disconnection of API](https://github.com/fustom/ariston-remotethermo-home-assistant-v3/issues/361). Not only did they break the integration, they log you out of their own crapware for as long as you're trying to use the integration. | 2024-11-15 | None. |
 | Arlo Cameras | Per [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1graane/comment/lx4jo79), actively blocks attempts to access them. Uses rolling short-lived tokens to make it even more annoying to integrate. | 2024-11-15 | None |
 | Astral Pool Halo Chlorinator | Per [DanielNagy/astralpool_halo_chlorinator](https://github.com/DanielNagy/astralpool_halo_chlorinator) and [community.home-assistant.io](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/viron-astral-pool-chlorinatorgo-integration/375495/408), firmware versions newer than 2.3 | 2024-11-16 | None |
 | Blink Cameras | Per reddit [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1graane/comment/lx4kbmd), randomly marks videos as seen in their app when connected to HA. | 2024-11-15 | None. |

+| BMW | BMW turned off all 3rd party access to their APIs.

 | Ecobee thermostats | "As of March 28th, 2024, ecobee is no longer accepting new developer subscriptions, nor are existing developer accounts able to create new API keys. There is no ETA for when they will be allowed again. Existing API keys will continue to function." | 2024-11-15 | Their HomeKit integration still works, so your HA can connect via that. It's less robust than a real connection, though. |
 | Eight Sleep Beds | Locked part of the API behind a paywall. | 2024-11-15 | Lucas Clarke's [integration](https://github.com/lukas-clarke/eight_sleep). Subject to breakage if they change their API again.  |
 | Eufy cameras | Per [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1graane/comment/lx4jo79), the community integration is hit or miss due to flakiness on the Eufy side. Disables RTSP if you don't let it phone home for more than 48 hours. Requires disabling a bunch of security stuff to access the RTSP stream even when it _does_ work. | 2024-11-15 | None |
