Not sure luddite is what I would call it in this instance? I think practical is a better term. My parents have a 70+ year old house. The bell on it, is whatever the builder put in. Still works. Adding complexity adds maintenance. Some people like that. Some dont. I could whip up some very nice decent IoT system for my doorbell, camera and all. But I leave it as a button. The next person to own this place will be glad I did.
- darkwater 5y agoI'm not saying this is something everyone should have, mandatory. But I'm a bit tired of the "no one should have it, ever" camp. And the next person that will own my house, if I ever sell it, can refurbish it to their own tastes, if they want.
