The most knowledgeable IT people have the least IOT devices in their house.

Eh. I’m pretty deep in IT but have a boatload of IoT. Though I admit the few that are WiFi enabled are mostly blocked from internet access.
If you're technically minded, you can do some amazing things with Home Assistant and IOT devices.
Haha that’s exactly what I do. 99% is local, the 1% is either “off site” in such a way it can’t be moved local, or I’m moving it to a local solution when possible.
I think I cursed myself. I just got woken up at 6am by my smart light turning on for no apparent reason.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable about IT but I avoid IoT like the plague. Everything should run locally and if I want to control it from away I'll use a VPN to home.
