Not sure why people are downvoting you, this is true.

My home automation rules are even simpler: home automation devices are firewalled off the Internet. If something does not work because of this, it gets returned, period. I do my research and only buy Zigbee or WiFi devices that can be hacked, so I haven't had problems so far. I also don't want any "smart" fridge, washing machine, TV, etc.
