This is so true! I just programmed an Arduino for a diy attic fan controller. Was it hard? Not really. Was it a bigger pain in the butt than programming for home assistant? Oh gosh yes. And quite limited in comparison. It really made me appreciate zWave plus python plus home assistant plus appdaemon. High level coding - use it if you can!

I did use esphome for something similar.
It uses a yaml file to generate C++ code for you and it works like a charm (in 99% of the cases).
Very easy integration in home assistant and it has support for the usual home automation peripherals.
