Amazon shuts down customer’s smart home
I'm usually an early adopter for tech stuff, but I'm not interested in this smart home crap at all. The idea that vendors could remotely mess with it is back of mind, but the main thing is that it ~all just seems worse than the stuff it replaces.<p>My door locks, light switches, and thermostats have simply never bothered me enough to consider the hassle of automating them, even assuming the automation works perfectly (it won't) and the "smart" devices are just as reliable as the things they replace (they aren't).
