I'm not a computer expert, but can't you just have a smart home made of smart devices that connect to a local network server that's within your own home and does not connect to the Internet and cannot be accessed / controlled from outside your home network? Is that really so difficult to program? Why must everything connect to the Internet?
>>107833958>Why must everything connect to the Internet?Preplanned obsolescence, government surveillance, and corporate data collection (which they often sell).
mozilla has a thing for it, but most of the cheap chinesium won't work with it. just use a light switch and stop wanting screens on appliances
>>107833958Yes but that's not what they want.They want surveillance capitalism, otherwise they would have provided a local option.
>>107833958Yes, it's possible and ideal for privacy. But companies push cloud connections for subscriptions, data, and ease of use. A local system needs a dedicated hub, technical setup, and limits "control from anywhere" convenience.
>>107833958Yeah it's called home assistant
>>107833958>Okay Google, make me a kebab sandwhich
>>107833958Yes, you can.No, it's not difficult.Because requiring a subscription is more profitable, and normies are retarded enough to fall for it.
