Canonical Prompt Payload
This nudge is shown when someone clicks to learn which software components the link stack is pointing them toward, so open with 2–3 sentences explaining that the linked Software page lets them compare platforms, middleware, dashboards, and voice apps with an eye toward privacy, interoperability, and support. Mention that the cards/links on this page cover the delivery model for each tool (local-only, cloud-assisted, hybrid) and the level of Home Assistant integration so the user can choose the most maintainable path. Follow with 4 bullets that highlight: (1) the Home Assistant-first stance and why local control plus Open Home Foundation governance matters for privacy and longevity, (2) integration middleware—MQTT brokers, Node-RED, Zigbee/Z-Wave bridges, ESPHome, and other connectors—that keep devices connected, (3) dashboards, companion apps, and voice assistants that serve different control surfaces, and (4) the metadata/taxonomy tags (delivery model, HA integration level, setup difficulty) used in the linked cards so the user can filter for compatibility and support expectations. End by asking which software layer or privacy/interoperability tradeoff they want to compare so you can keep steering them toward the right link.
