The problem with modern smart home tech is that it all presupposes that no wiring is available: all communication must be wireless. This makes the whole thing unreliable and laggy, and is a crap long-term assumption. It makes the modern smart home tooling not worth using while it matures towards... more same.

i think the vox populi minimalist aesthetic is also driving the craze away from wired connections. while i still prefer it to avoid cluttering, there should be failsafe or options for wired interface

I think there's wisdom to that popular rejection/simplification: The promise of smart home didn't deliver. I guess I'm suggesting the cause might be partly unreliability. As we add sophistication, we shouldn't be necessarily trading away stability.
