Smart home type stuff is with minor exceptions a total nightmare. Bad security, bad privacy, and bad longevity. Just no. There are some of these things that just don’t work without connection back to the mother-ship, or at least lack major features. Generally it is recommended that if you do have these sorts of things, put them on a separate network at least.
See Nest: next month they stop working with no local API options. I got mine as a gift, but it will be easily replaced by a $40 programmable thermostat.
