It’s this type of garbage that has turned me into a luddite when it comes to smart home type technology. Lack of interoperability, inability to understand easily whats actually going on and massive privacy invasion causes me to look for dumb devices whenever possible - I know how to deal with them, I can have other people fix them when something goes wrong, and there’s just less ongoing maintenance. I’m sure this isn’t a novel idea though.
