minus-square@SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink12•2 months agoI wish. My father currently works in IT and has “smart” everything (except locks, thankfully) He has multiple Alexa thingies (used to be Google homes), Internet thermostat, smart light switches, smart cameras/doorbells, smart plugs Idk why he does. The only thing that really provide any value are the light switches and plugs (scheduled lighting) and maybe the doorbell thingies
