      To the average person, putting that much thought and effort into it is for elite hackers only. I know a guy that does cybersecurity and still has smart everything in his house.

          Or they run everything locally or on a subnet without Internet. It’s very possible to have a smart house that doesn’t rely on the Internet and does everything locally.

          It takes more work, but it’s definitely worth it.
