Well, the comments were helpful to me, in trying to determine if I want to put effort into setting up Nextcloud. A post full of alternatives, with people saying that Nextcloud is buggy? Obviously, look at the alternatives.

A post full of comments saying “you shouldnt have those issues, want some help troubleshooting your config” and a couple alternatives? Probably worth looking into Nextcloud rather than writing it off.

Disagree, seeing as OP has not posted anything other than “I run Nextcloud and have problems”, providing a counter is straightforward and expected.

You can make those tplink plugs work off-line if you stick some time into it. The zigbee is probably more worthwhile.

There’s no option for “all of the above” and also no option for “I just want to see the results”.
