You can have a smart home and still keep your privacy. Home Assistant is an open source tool you install to a raspberry pi, and it lets you control your devices locally without ever sending anything to the internet.

I've been using it for years and it is really nice.

    That's what my friends who self-host use, it's more utility than privacy that's holding me back though because I'd totally use this option. It's like "ugh another system to manage" after managing computer systems for work all day. I like my analog switches and a heavy knobfeel, drive a car from the 00s with all buttons.
