> these devices are now being permanently affixed to real estate
I predict the NEC will start demanding the use of Wago style splices, no more wire nuts, due to how frequently people are swapping out smart switches and the like. Even non-smart dimmers have been changed multiple times in my residence due to evolving LED compatibility (another "wild west" situation right now). I haven't broken any copper, but the increased likelihood is pretty obvious. Electricians may start seeing more pigtails installed for no other reason than breakage.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThat's for the people who actually change them out. Then you're going to have the guy who loves Smart Thingies, fills his house with them, and sells it to someone content to use the Smart Switch as a switch and the Smart Stove as a stove even if they're >10 years old and none of the smart apps are supported anymore. But they're all still sitting there soliciting incoming connections.
