I’d be unemployed and in trouble, but sometimes I do wish a gigantic solar storm would cut off the internet for a year. Humanity needs the reset. Please stop shoving Wi-Fi into every device.
Everything having connectivity is cool, I like automating stuff, the issue is it feeding all of your information to a company to profit off of it or worse.
Things that can be wifi: my light switches and anything that might’ve had an analog timer back in the day. Anything critical? You can buy an analog sensor that will beep if it’s out of limits, like a freezer alarm.

The rest can f right off.
Light switches can also not be wifi. Hell, id personally prefer them not to
I only use hardwired Ethernet for my light switches
So regular demotica/hone automation light switches it is
Link to said device?
I was being ironic, I am not aware of any such device
Damn, I had slight hopes such a thing existed
It might but if so I’m not aware of it
X10 might work if you just need simple signaling.
I’m sure they do, but probably in the industrial control sense.
Obviously it would be a choice to have them wifi or not, opt-in, not opt-out. I wasn’t implying anything should be automatically wifi.
