I'm half on one side, half on the other.

The line I draw is between safety and convenience. On the safety side, I want things to be very manual. I don't want some app or external system managing whether or not the lights stay on, or whatever, on the convenience side, I 1000% want a way to manage things like the lighting from an app.

So anywhere that safety is a concern, like the kitchen, bathroom, a handful of other places.... There's zero "smart" anything. Everywhere else, yeah, I can turn off my lights from an app.

When I'm in my office/living room, where safety isn't really a concern, I don't have to get up to turn on the lights, I can yell at my Google home to do it for me, or use an app. If I want the lights to be some shade of turquoise, I use the app....

In the kitchen, as an example, no such control exists. You have to push the light switch, and you get basic removed white light. You don't get an option. You want the light off? Take your fingers and do the thing that makes the light switch go click and turn off the lights.

The decision to make anything smart relies on whether or not I'm going to be in danger if the lights go out and there's no way to turn them on again because the Internet is down.

I've seen some neat features included, but it's never worth all the added bullshit they add in. Being able to tell if your oven is still on, or garage door is still open is great, but the app is never just that. It always comes with a truck load of bullshit noone asked for.

Yup.

Comcast "updated" their network yesterday and broke every fucking smart plug in my house. None of them will work anymore.

Did they disable the 2.4ghz band on your router?

Did you know that Ryobi has an app that lets you register tools you've bought?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you can still have this, you just have to not buy the shit things

the only thing i'm aware of that has no non-shit option anymore is TVs, but then who the fuck watches TV anymore?
