I tried quite few "smart" things and I hate them with passion.

Smart light bulbs, for whatever reason I couldn't get them to work with my Apple Home setup, despite trying few different brands.

Smart power sockets, kind of work, but they're big, bulky and have this natural design flaw where when anyone unknowingly or out of habit use the lamp's switch, they stop working, not to mention how useless they are when the wall socket is behind some obstacle, furniture, etc.

Smart radiator controllers that are super noisy in operation and impossible to calibrate, so they constantly report inaccurate temperatures.

Smart home security systems that keep raising false alarms because a cat, a leaf, a bee, a spider or just because.

IKEA smart temperature and humidity sensors (the latest ones) that pair with my Apple Home network for few days and they all just stop reporting data, until a hard reset and re-pairing.

I'm done for anything "smart" for at least few years, they're all a horrible annoyance.
