"Smart" devices have turned me 180 degees from a tech enthusiast to quasi-Luddite. (startrek.website)

Smart devices that do not do that would be nice.

There's a whole world under HomeAssistant that you're gonna love. You can even repurpose the stuff currently connected to the clowd via data umbilical, and make them into internal-only devices.

Hah I may have read home assistant as a description not realizing it's software for this stuff and not say Amazon's brand of ... Well whatever data collection. I will definitely be checking it out. Seems like what I'm looking for. To be fair I haven't looked into it much yet but may have overlooked it if I didn't read this.

As much as I try to keep up with stuff it's so easy to pass by software these days. I used to read everything back in the 90s / early 2000s, these days not as often.

I appreciate the point to the right direction immensely.
