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?
None of my IoT stuff has internet access for that reason, it’s all local only with home assistant. Since I just assume they’re going to have security issues it’s easier to keep them locked down and not have to worry about it.
