Nope. That thought has never crossed my mind.
What I've always wondered and keep wondering is how to debug these dang thread pairing failures. I want that to be more approachable.
The address for my home doesn't have a random number stuck on the end... Unless they're talking about the Zip code, which is a super useful thing, so I don't wonder why it exists.
Edit: Read the article. Even with the added context that home, in this case, means home assistant, no, I didn't wonder why the service has a random number on the end of it, as that's how all services work. That is a weird way to put it, even though the change seems to make sense.
