I work in cyber security and I have lots of smart home things. I also assume my network’s being compromised at all times and keep anything really important on paper in a safe.

I have smart home things but they're all locally driven by HomeAssistant.

I want the convenience of the automations without ever having to worry that some corporation can or will take the functionality from me.

OK here's one why do we assume someone working in tech is knowledgeable in tech. Its a job. I have met many network maintainers for companies who seem like they know nothing. I have met many support staff who don't know their bass from a home in the ground. Just because by outwork in the field does not mean you are an expert on everything or even the thing you do. And this doesn't just apply to tech

No HA*, no Zigbee, no containerized service landscape but the routers run OpenWRT. Hmm, Okay.

*other OSS contenders are fine.
