That’s why I try to make dumb things smart, not replace the dumb with smart. Like, make the switch smart, not the bulb.
Along with making it backwards compatible. (Ie, control system goes down you can still operate just like a dumb system)
Can’t lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.
Aye. I did learn this the good old hard way.😁

We all know the meme of the Smart-BBQ that refuses to BBQ because of a failed update via wifi. If people are walking away from having a simple metal pit to amber some meat on it, then we are failing as a species. More vectors of failure just means more vectors of failure. Use KISS whenever possible. Don’t fall for the ‘for your convenience’ trap. How ridiculous that, if true, they cannot flush a toilet that literally works on gravity.
No idea who would buy this. By definition networks will fail at some point. Same aslt avoiding subscription models as much as possible.
