99% of smart home crap just feels like
why is it connected to the internet? so it can get updates
why does it need updates? because it's connected to the internet

1Yeah, today I've been teaching my firewall what internet access things in my house need: ntp -- ok for now; dns -- ok, since you use the server I told you to, https -- why? let's make that no and see what happens.
My solar panels seem to need http, https, ntp, dns, and some speciallized protocols.
And everyone wants to use https to contact AWS-compute. I don't think so. I just need to figure out how I'm going to do updates on the wifi -- because they are necessary, but there is no way that's what ALL the https chatter is about.
