"Dumb" home devices work as expected for 25-50 years, and then you replace them.

"Smart" home devices work as expected for about a year and then they fail in new and exciting ways, and then you replace them.

Smarthome tech like this is just trying to make a quick buck at the expense of a lifelong relationship with a customer.
