The other day Google's servers crashed and people could no longer control their "smart" house. They couldn't turn on the lights or adjust the heat. How "smart" is that?

I don't want a data server located God knows where controlling my lights and thermostat.

When it gets cold in the house, I just throw another log on the fire. When it gets too warm, I go outside and sit on the deck.

How smart does a light bulb need to be? Seems the 100 year old logic switch of “On or Off” is plenty smart.
