So?
Ikr? Seems like a good thing to me. I want dumb devices controlled by a smart system.
The video is about smart devices that are poorly designed and/or rely on cloud infrastructure being dumb. Jeff also wants smart devices that will literally only talk to home assistant, and will still work fine if home assistant is offline (like a light switch will still work if the server is down).
Then buy ZigBee devices and a Sonoff/ConBee ZigBee Gateway
That's what he did, but with a home assistant yellow as the gateway.
Exactly this.
My temperature sensors don't need to phone home or even communicate two ways. They just need to squawk the temperature into the ether.
You think dumb as in not intelligent, what he means in the video is dumb as in poorly designed
Yes they are and to much proprietary firmware, software, and parts...

Yeah, these days meaning either "an algorithm of any kind" or a complex bounded random number generator that draws a gigawatt to run.
