Oh I do have smart home, but it is a closed system, running a an RPi 4B locally, with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT, and accessible from the internet only via a Wireguard, which bounces through a VPS somewhere in Paris. I am not dependent on any cloud infrastructure, so as long as my RPi is running, I can do this forever as long as the hardware doesn’t break - and then I can just swap the devices with the same type as long as it does Zigbee.
Should sound like good news. But actually sounds alarming. No one who knows tech likes it. IT people won’t have smart homes for example.

That’s not true. I have quite a bit of smart home stuff. It’s all hosted on premise and walled off towards the internet though.
