Well, that was a "productive" Saturday evening! I needed to combine some smart home data and made a mistake by asking the #AI to suggest some approaches. After two hours of going down blind alleys and being misled by the AI with things like old or completely made-up API endpoints, I finally studied the documentation and realised it was not the right path. I then did some old-school thinking and searching, found an open-source library on GitHub that did exactly what I needed, and solved the problem in 20 minutes.
