I 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
Could have gone the self-hosted route, but he might just think it's a lost cause as long as you're carrying phone that spies on you.
Unless you are running grapheneos without the spyware apps and services :)
