I disagree that in order to have a connected home it will be complex and that it doesn't "just work". From having added a suite of products from Ubiquiti and somewhat thought out the design of my home network I have less issues than before. Yes I have more to tinker with but I don't, and now the household can stream any media they like on any TV or device, and play games with low latency at the same time. I don't even have what you would consider a hobbiest setup.<p>Of course, in order to correctly manage IoT devices and the sort on the network you need a bit of knowhow, but its not essential. And purely comes with the nature of connecting these devices in your home.<p>Mentions privacy as a concern, but probably still use a mobile device? And you mention you don't need a TV, but okay that's clearly what your projector is used for.<p>Also the smart blinds comment, your issue with the smart blinds was to do with blinds themselves not the smart component.
