Smart home or the whole Internet of things stuff frightens me a lot. Not that I'm in fear of privacy implications of interconnected devices and the bad and insecure software. No it is just that the smart stuff is out-dated pretty fast and increases the amount of (toxic) waste rapidly. And we are already fighting for rare earths and other building blocks of these devices. So we are not just replacing our TV or notebook every 1-2 years. No, now we should replace all the gadgets that are advertised to make our lifes easier and safer, if it is your freezer, your smoke detectors, electrical outlets, body sensors, thermostats and everything else which can hold a chip and has a excuse to be "smartened". No, I do not want that.
