  I have done zero maintenance on my light switches in all my life, and I never had any smart home stuff, lol

  To be fair I put in all my smart lights once 7 years ago haven’t touched them a single time in that entire span. Took an hour to set up.

  And now my alarm turns on lights which helps me wake up :D

    I literally don’t believe you. Wi-Fi? Zigbee? Z-Wave? Not a single reset or re-pair because you changed some password or bridge or the power went out and one of them needed a little encouragement?

  My smart switches have zero downtime. If I attack my server with an hatchet I lose smart functionality but pressing the switch still works, just like yours.

  It doesn’t take much to avoid the bullshit devices.
