I would like to see a smart home solution that consists of ONE (1) computer per room with a switchboard of relays, and absolutely no wireless connectivity, just Ethernet. With this solution the computer is significantly more load bearing so there's incentive to make actually robust and maintainable room controllers (as opposed to Internet of Shit single-use garbage), and there's also not a million tiny computers trying to get on the WiFi to offer a single dimmer switch because they are inside a light bulb and also why the fuck does a lightbulb need WiFi.

in reply to @lapisnev's post:
Have you read Danny Dunn and the Automatic House? It's a sci-fi book for kids written in the (60s?). I think the entire house actually runs off of one computer in the book but similar idea.
I don't think I have, but this reminded me of a short story I read in school where an abandoned automated house runs through a routine every day assuming the humans are just silent
