Hi Pieter,
what a great post. I'm a big home automation fan myself and totally agree.

The main rule for home automation - think about the babysitter

Amen to that. I have many "non-technical relatives" and they must be able to control the lights in our guest bedroom without an app or our voice assistant.

Do not depend on internet

This always reminds me of this tweet (the post it says "Please knock. Google is down")

😄

Btw, have you seen Ben's new Forem-based home-tech community called Hometechnica? You should check it out. I think it's a great idea to have everything home automation and home-related tech stuff in a dedicated community.
