    You realize you can make your own smart devices, right?

    And most smart devices are as easy to use as analog. All of my smart light switches function as light switches even without network connectivity. Same with my smart bulbs and thermostat. Plus, many of them can be flashed with Tasmota or ESPHome.

    The effectiveness of a smart home is largely dependent on knowing what to get/avoid and having a solid plan of what you want to achieve and how to implement it. That’s the skill issue.
