Guy I work with can turn every light in his house on or off, even if they're on the same switch.
He wanted to show me but I said....nah, I'm good.
Did you ask him, but why?

I want an Alexa that talks to me like the one in that movie Why Him.
Would be hilarious.
“You don’t have to be such a dick”

In a way, the terrorists did win. Patriot Act, government spying... sad times.
The terrorist won the War on Terror just like drugs won the War on Drugs and poverty won the War on Poverty. Our gov't sucks at "eliminating" anything.

All of this seems to be just an elaborate race between Google and Amazon to store household data. None of this stuff is particularly innovative or exciting, but people must be buying the crap out of it because it's everywhere.
I heard yesterday on the radio that all the major players with the voice activated systems are trying to work together so all of the systems can communicate with each other. This should frighten everyone.

Fyi, I would never want a smart home. We are spoiled and lazy as it is as a society.

If you take 5 minutes to research this you'll find that you can do almost 100% of your smart home using local control aka no internet using zwave and zigbee devices.
Of course that takes more work and Amazon and Google are pushing wifi devices because they're super easy for the average customer to set up.
Having said all that I really enjoy my smart home. I have everything connected from my pool pump to door sensors to a zillion lightbulbs and it's a beautiful ballet each night as all of the lights go out, the doors lock and the garage doors close.
I enabled 2 factor authentication on my ring security cameras which are outside anyway and my garage doors and locks are all local control.
And yes I have Sonos speakers throughout my house and they're one of the best things I've ever bought.
This is the dumbest thing anyone has posted on here because you're sitting there posting on TD so everything you do can already be logged from your router which is far less secure than a doorbell your fussing about and can gather way more info about you.
This place never ceases to crack me up.

The OP apparently doesn't have a router in his house or smart phones.

I don't call any electronics smart because they are not smarter than me.
