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?

    The S in IoT stands for security

    That’s actually what I made the SSID for the wireless access point for the VLAN i have isolated for any wifi specific smart devices.

    I didn’t buy any, but my wife did without realizing they were incompatible with my existing home assistant setup due to being cheap Chinese crap
