Show notes
We explore the rising cost of smart home ownership, from SimpleSafe's $50/month doorbell to Apple's iCloud Plus requirements for advanced HomeKit features. We contrast this 'digital rent' with a growing movement towards local, subscription-free hardware like Ugreen's Homeagent and reliable Z-Wave networks, emphasizing true data ownership and physical infrastructure.
