I worked in IT before retirement. I don't shun smart devices. But I do analyse at them on an individual basis before purchasing.
For example, internet controlled front door locks or internet controlled overhead garage door opener. I can say nyet to those without even researching. Can you say "gaping security hole"? Internet controlled thermostat. Hmmm, I'm wondering why I would ever want to control or even check on my house temperature remotely. Nein. WiFi connected toilet. Might be good for a party prank sometime, but otherwise ... non.
