In these crazy times when networked devices are being hacked or hijacked on a regular basis, I have one piece of advice:
Whenever you have to make a choice on an item, make the choice the takes you down the technology ladder, not up it.
An example:
- A $50 non networked thermostat versus a $100+ networked one.
- An old school doorbell or better yet, a door knocker, over a networked doorbell.
- A family dog is probably a better choice than a wireless home alarm and sensors. Ask any burglar.
- the list goes on and on. .........
GO DOWN THE TECHOLOGY LADDER, NOT UP IT!
