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?
Ive got a few smart things set up and I love it. If I was to start from scratch I would definitely have more. I draw the line at cameras and security though. I'm sure there are ways to make a local only smart setup but I haven't looked in to it.
