Been in IT for 18 years. I have smart home stuff because i got tired of sitting down on the couch with my beer, que poped for my game and then realizing i forgot to turn off the kitchen light. So yup, smart house, cameras, locks etc because it’s fun. Can someone hack my house? Sure, but they could just as easily put a brick through the window and come in. A lot more people are qualified to do that than hack my voice controlled lights.
as engineer with almost 6 years of experience: 90% of people in general don’t give a damn, persoanlly I’m like that

As long as everything is local and doesn’t rely on the cloud it’s generally fine. Hell, I’m making my own voice assistant so it doesn’t need the cloud
Imagine making your own protocol for smart house before it was mainstream.
