Good.
"Smart home" is just IoT treats, right? So like 99% of it is so chuds can activate their sprinklers over WiFi, hit "movie mode" to lower the blinds or start the coffee maker via Alexa. You know, useless nonsense so it feels like they're living in the future.
In capitalism, yea, most of it is a scam. Especially the manufacturer-specific cloud service stuff (basically everything that tells you to download their app to use it). I won't get anything that needs an internet connection to install or use.
Constant light control, automatic blinds that assist heating/cooling, and demand-based heating/cooling control saves energy and will be mandatory after the revolution.
