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

If you want to have control over smart devices and don't want to be reliant on an internet connection, I highly recommend trying Home Assistant.

It does require a dedicated device, but it's remarkably simple to get started, and amazingly powerful if you want to get into the scripting side.

While some integrations do require internet (getting the weather, or tracking a delivery), most run entirely locally (smart lights, solar tracking, printer stats). The main problem I have is that I keep finding new things I can do with it.
