Overcoming Compatibility Issues with Smart Home Devices?

[Alfredn]

I've run into compatibility issues with a few of my smart home devices not communicating well with others.
It's been frustrating. Has anyone else faced this, and how did you resolve it? Are there universal platforms or workarounds that you'd recommend?

One strategy I've found helpful is to do thorough research before making any purchases, checking compatibility lists provided by manufacturers, or consulting online forums and community groups for real-world experiences and recommendations.
