In many smart home systems, constant data traffic is generated to enable convenience features like automatic lighting control or heating optimization. This raises the question: Where is the line between useful data usage and unnecessary surveillance? Should devices by default only allow local processing and only send data to the cloud with explicit consent? What impact does this have on reliability and functionality? I'm curious about your opinions and experiences – how do you balance security and user-friendliness in your smart home setups?

It's interesting to me how much local processing affects response time in heating optimization. Are there any concrete examples where the lack of cloud data limits functionality?
