Author Notes :

If you’ve watched any of my DIY smart home series, you’ll know I’m somewhat militant with my approach to smart devices. I don’t do cloud hosted stuff – if it doesn’t work without an internet connection permanently, I’m not interested. Sadly though, I’m very much in the minority, as smart internet-of-things devices with permanent internet access are becoming increasingly common in everyone’s households. That’s a pretty massive problem, although it’s one that few seem to understand, so let me explain.
