    At this point I use Home Assistant for everything IoT and won’t buy any product I can’t use LAN-only through HA.

    The unfortunate exception to this rule is TVs. You can’t even buy a “dumb” TV anymore. I put up with LGs after disabling every setting and data agreement I can for privacy’s sake, but none of them are good.
