I have exactly one home automation device and I'm considering turning off the Wi-Fi for it. My new Air Conditioning/heating system needed two-stage thermostats. The standard ones are Wi-Fi. I hate the idea of something connected to my network, that talks to things outside my network, that does not have a regular update schedule.

I guess as I think about it, I also have my pool robot and my "Meater" thermostat. But the Meater is only connected when I turn it on.
