If you have a smart home, you're going to have a bad time. Remember "smart" simply means "the cheapest shittiest embedded system they could fit into the device with a custom, cheaply and rapidly developed firmware that was likely outsourced to finish on time for marketing. The only way a "smart home" makes sense is to have a dedicated router that is LAN only and not hooked up to the internet, but that will likely cause the units to fail because they constantly phone home for firmware updates, which hilariously have a history of bricking your door and locking you out with no workaround.
