Its saved my skin once when my retard cousin connected his malware infected laptop to my “I domt control this device” network. Only other thing on the network was my work laptop that has a ton of security on it. More than I even have on my stuff. So it lit up like a Christmas tree and commited suicide. Get a ping from my boss asking what the fuck I downloaded lmao.
You’re making me wanna cry. I need this in my life!
I do the same thing. All they’re allowed to talk to is Home Assistant except for when I allow internet access to update firmware.
