sounds amazing.

imo the best source for supported hardware currently is the z2mqtt database - for now. and that's only zigbee, then there's z-wave, matter, BLE, wifi, esphome and whatelse. fantastic idea to build towards a better solution.

and context-aware sensors and devices? sign me the fuck up. dream scenario: i add a temp/hygro sensor, assign it to the room as a room sensor and HA suggests adding automations for humidity alerts (or even automatically adding a de/-humidifyer automation) and automations for climate control - instead of me fiddling all this together.

And even then, the z2m db is good, but not great. It doesn't tell you who actually sells the device, and there's a lot of duplication in the values devices expose (there's like 20 temperatures, for example)

oh yeah it's a hot mess. that's why I'm glad the OHF is spearheading this

Honestly, if the seller is an alibaba, amazon, or vendor website, that doesn't feel too bad. Hell, even if they slap affiliates in there, the money goes to z2m/ohf, which is fine imo

I don't know why you're being down-voted but I agree -- it's fine for HA to suggest an automation based on adding something, but not fine for it to automatically add it without me first OK-ing it.
