What do you guys think of the idea of smart homes? I could make a basic setup using https://home-assistant.io to control my home temperature and lighting; the tools for doing this are everywhere nowadays and implementation doesn’t seem too horrific anymore.
But setting aside what I “can” do, is this something that I “should” do? How can a person implement this without connecting any devices to the internet?
To be fair, many of those problems are things you can mitigate by picking the right vendor and staying away from anything that needs to phone home or use the internet
The fact that I buy zwave stuff designed never to connects to the internet
Home Assistant says otherwise
Okay that’s fair, you bring up good points. I’m actually glad there are counter to my points. Thanks 👍.
