Exactly! A "dumb" home is just a liittle bit more inconvenient, but at least I don't need to worry about being policed by a megacorp
My "dumb" home does exactly what i want, cause i made it "smart" myself (most stuff gets controlled by a raspberry pi)
Wish I had the skill to set that stuff up and how to use raspberry pi. Any good tutorials that I can learn from?
It's a bit more inconvenient on average, but it's a heck of a lot more convenient when the power is out, the internet is down, or some giant company is just being dicks.
