I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it's a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)

Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn't sell your location data or breach your data.

No worries thanks the clarification.

FWIW your house does not need smart devices, you can add them yourself as easily as adding a light bulb and a ZigBee dongle on your RPi or even desktop (but nicer if it's always on IMHO).

You screw the light bulb in and if you leave the house one day for another one, you just unscrew it. Sure you can do more, e.g. replacing light switches, etc but you can also add plugs the same way.

I'm not trying to say anybody "needs" that, only highlighting that it's not a heavy thing to setup and remove.
