I agree, have you ever had to go through a dead relatives stuff? You can tell it meant something to them, but most of it does not mean anything to you. Most of it gets thrown out, a few things get sold, a few mementos are kept, some of the tools go in a toolbox, a lot goes to Goodwill. Mostly nobody wants it, nobody wants to continue maintaining all your stuff, nobody is going to take over your blog (they'll start their own instead), they are not interested in your kaliedescope collection or collection of antique dinner plates, a lot of your stuff is more worn out and useless than you think even if it works fine for you (as long as you reboot it every Wednesday). They have their own life to live. More expensive assets are worth trying to preserve, but your IoT house system is not a rabbit hole anyone wants to reverse engineer or read the 1000 manual pages about. Concentrate on the important things, let go of the rest. If you have enough warning try giving some of it away. Then you might find someone who will appreciate some of it.
