I too have noticed a serious decline in the software reliability of my smart-home devices that went away after replacing them with newer models. I don't know if the software support for older models gradually winds down and atrophies or if some component starts to degrade causing things like wireless signal degradation (which would definitely result in poor connections and high latency). Does anyone have some insight here? I'm sure we have people from the IoT space here.
