It's hard to answer this question without knowing what kinds of devices you're going to control. For example, I'd want a failsafe way of turning on a light or air conditioner if there was a problem with the IOT network. Not being able to manually turn on a heating system could be very costly in the winter (frozen water pipes, etc.). However, I wouldn't care nearly as much if I was unable to dim a lightbulb or change its color.
