Many years ago i bought an RGB LED and naively thought the remote signal must have some standard protocol, because it is so simple commands that would allow for some cool shit if automated. Oh boy was i wrong. Proprietary smart home software is the most insane. How on earth should your home become "smart" when it is locked into some ideology (manufacturer) or worse yet you have multiple "parties" fighting over the government causing a shutdown.

NGL you kinda went into left field at the end there, but I still agree.

i wanted to compare the issue with the principles of government and the structures needed,because that what smart home should be, organizing your home to certain effect.

And like with state government that requires transparent and consistent rules, cooperation of the different branches and accountability.
