If I had visibility over the house then I could improve automation.
Homeassistant / OpenHAB use whatever API the IOT thing has. Sometimes is uses dirty hacks when APIs aren't public.
HA is all python & yaml, and fairly straight forward to scripts & automations off the back of whatever states & history is reported

With Hue, and the other things.
I'd like to see some report of when things were turned on, how much by (i.e. brightness of lights, temperature of thermostat, etc).
If I had visibility over the house then I could improve automation. And I'd understand the most likely trigger for the event.
I don't know how much other people would value observability, but I feel blind without it.
