Why does this stuff have to be networked though? My outside lights turn off and on each day with a timer switch that installed much like the networked switches today. I input the date and my zip code and now the timer adjusts for the sunset&#x2F;sunrise throughout the year. It will even randomize the timing +&#x2F;- 30 minutes so it&#x27;s not quite as obvious to any observers. I&#x27;ve had this setup for almost 11 years now and it cost me ~$30.<p>Programmable thermostats have been a thing for about 20 years now. There is no need to have these things networked for only a slight gain in convenience. I&#x27;m pretty certain I can turn my thermostat down for vacations in less time than it would take to launch an app and do it.
