Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Haven't heard of that. It doesn't spy on you like all the other "smart home" tech is alleged to do? Is it open source?
As far as the local control goes, you can keep it from phoning home and it will still work. I don't believe that the Shelly firmware is open source, but they allow you to upload custom firmware that is.
Because you can cut them off from the outside world I don't believe it is doing the same kind of data collection externally unless you allow it to.
The new "mini" versions of their gear is harder to customize apparently but still possible, they still sell the larger versions though too that are easy to modify.
