    I know this is a first world problem, but I can’t hear the beeps in my house when these things go off.

    Sometimes I remember a light is still on when I’m in bed. And that’s more than seven steps and it’s late. So yes, lazy, but also not because I’ll get winded, I just don’t want to get out of bed to walk across the house in the dark after I’ve already settled. If you prefer to get up over trivial tasks, good for you, but you don’t need to judge others for having differing levels of physicality. Maybe someone worked hard physical labor all day and just doesn’t want to move when they get home.

    Also, my house uses zigbee and doesn’t even have a way to connect to the Internet. So I agree there. If I am in my home wanting information generated by my home, the information has no reason to leave my home. For privacy and for latency.

    Sounds like you don’t need it, but gee you’re awfully aggressive about not wanting other people to have it.
