"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.

This is exactly why I’ve started only buying smart devices that work with Home Assistant and don’t rely on cloud services.

Ironically the latest Nest thermostats offer fully local control with Home Assistant via Matter.

Last I checked you have sign-in to Google before it lets you config via Matter
