Here I am, attempting to build a smarter home, and looking real carefully at ensuring all devices I use I can self-host a hub for, and that they don't/can't phone home.
It's proving to be a lot harder than it should be.
For some devices, the only non-phone-home option is to apply some solder and replace the firmware on the device with a free one.
Insane.
