I'm choosing devices based on how good they work with zha and HA and usually have to browse a bit before settling for something. If they manage to implement this properly, I'm all here for it.

Maybe they should talk to the zigbee device compatibility repository people (or maybe they already have).

I don't care about downvotes. That is interesting, my point that it's better to not have internet capable appliances in the first place is valid, as well as the point that you can only minimize the potential to be spied on not eliminate it, I would strongly presume the NSA has a backdoor for instance. Suspect the manufacturers have ones too. Possibly fusible links to brick them all to boot, as is rumoured.

But it's good to minimize the danger if you insist on having them, and with phones and computers we all do now. The post would garner more engagement and less such flak if it just explained that in the post page and not assume everyone s a linux developer

Or you could realise you are in a group focused on a single bit of software and do a 5 minute investigation into said software.
