I like having smart lights. I think having smart locks would also be kinda cool. There isn't really anything else in my home that would benefit from smartness, though. I mean, other than me.

My printer is on a separate network and traffic to and from it is controlled via pfSense. There isn't a single "smart" device in my network.
Tech worker here and my whole house is smart. Using Home Assistant, zwave, zigbee and EspHome, tasmota devices. So it's all offline, local, and homemade. Only have a few devices that are too complex or expensive to home make. For example radon detector, Bond bridge, ShieldTV.
always heard printers were the most insecure tech to have, but that was decades ago, we got all sorts of devices nowadays that could be worse
Honestly they’re still pretty vulnerable. Maybe firmware is a bit better, but it’s a configuration thing that often gets overlooked in corporate networks. The amount of open SMTP relays I’ve run across in printers is a bit ridiculous, but it’s always fun to start phishing people with internal emails.

Judging by the amount of random noises my inkjet makes, this dude must go through a lot of printers.
