I'm renovating the house I live in and the closest to smart devices I installed were Caseta plug in dimmers with pico remotes. The rest of dimmers are just hardwired Maestros. Knowing the half life of an internet facing service, the last thing I want is someone pulling the rug from under all my electrical stuff.

Once I tried to enable the app for the washer and dryer and have given up on the app suggesting I disable the firewall for something to connect. No thank you.

Lutron is a good demonstration of a company going about it reasonably. The smarts are in the bridge not the switches and not the bulbs.

For context, Lutron is a client. Though I am just a happy user of the Caseta product at home. I don't have any engineering say in how it was built.
