There are a lot of reasons I feel rather wary of smart home systems, but one that always worries me is the underlying software behind it. Specifically, it's troubling that connected devices are so reliant on servers and applications beyond your control — someone somewhere across the world could pull the plug at a moment’s notice.
It doesn’t stop me having smart home tech in my house, but it is always something lingering at the back of my mind. It sounds paranoid, but this past weekend. I was reminded that this could be a very real problem one day.
