I like the idea of home automation where it might simplify or enhance my activities etc. But I'm wondering how folk choose smart / #IoT devices that can't fuck you over, as almost every commercial offering is determined to do. So I have zero smart devices other than my phone and laptop.

Any comments #HomeAssistant fans?

I'm about to start a multi year home renovation and in the past would have thought, let's use my knowledge and love of tech to enhance this period home while preserving its character.

Now that #privacy is something I have to fight to retain and smart / #IoT devices are being used to attack everyone's privacy and autonomy, the idea of #HomeAssistant etc turns me off.

Change my mind!
