I’ve previously explained why I resist getting smart home hardware, but I did clarify that I think security is the exception. Keeping your home protected is one area where the smart home revolution has been a game-changer, and it turns out that my dad worked that out before me.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because my dad didn’t have any smart home gadgets either — until recently. While it was a scary incident that compelled him to upgrade, it’s safe to say that he’s officially a convert.
