Exactly. Cross platform is important. Backwards compatibility is important. Security is also very important. It is not just about features. Those people that only care about features will change their mind quickly once their family is threatened due to a privacy or security issue.HomeSeer 2, HomeSeer 3, Allonis myServer, Amazon Alexa Dots, ELK M1G, ISY 994i, HomeKit, BlueIris, and 6 "4k" Cameras using NVR, and integration between all of these systems. Home Automation since 1980.

Cross platform this would be a very big win.
To me, this was a shortsighted decission.

Funny you mention 'features', because that's a bit what we are lacking now ;-)

- Native Bluetooth support for seeing devices and reading RSSI via a local USB port with the event tools to make use of it. (If possible the ability to pair a device with it - I'm not an expert but iPhones randomize there BT address for security so you can't really use a specific BT address locally as a trigger - I "think" pairing would remove that obstacle. That would allow an iPhone to communicate presence directly w/out the need for cloud apps.
- Agree with MattL0 above on the event engine. I love HS, but many/most/all(?) competitors have have far more switch options for creating rules/events. "THE" reason I left SmartThings was cloud based slowness. "THE" thing I've missed the most is the options they have for creating rules.

Matter could help.
If I add a T/RV Sensor in tuya, I get instantly trends in the app. I'm only not happy with the cloud.
Homey is local, but off course not yet tested with all the stuff. I like to see some first experience reviews before purchase. I'm not sure they can add tuya locally.

I would really like to see a HomeSeer supported version of HS4 offered in a Linux container (e.g., containerd) format. This would provide a great deal of deployment flexibility. Very much appreciate the work posted by savageautomate (and all others who contributed to a container version of HS4 on Linux).

Maybe native support for MQTT. I'd say maybe buy the JowiHue plugin off the developer and sell the Raspbees like the Z-NET.HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)
Plug-Ins Enabled:
Z-Wave:,RaspberryIO:,AirplaySpeak:,Ecobee:,
