People who use and develop integrations for Home Assistant.
Are those on the manufacturer's spec sheet? 'Cause that's what the comment I was replying to was talking about.
No, they often aren't. Any that are, are not going to be permanent, either (see what Chamberlain did with their garage openers).
My personal take: unless it can function as a "smart" device without a constant connection to the internet, a company-provided HA integration is kinda useless.
