    Maybe unpopular opinion but I like connected stuff. I like what you can do with modern tech. I think it’s cool to have a coffee maker or something hooked up to Home Assistant so you can start a brew from your phone when you wake up.

    What I don’t like is when I can’t control the tech. The only way I’d ever allow smart appliances is if the data never left my network and I took reasonable steps to ensure the IOT devices are isolated and secured.

      I don’t own an IoT device, but I do like the idea. I just hate the idea of not being in complete control MUCH more. If I can’t do it all locally, connecting to my own server, I don’t want it.
