100% agree. i had a thermostat and 4 cameras. abysmal software, and the hardware started dying . The thermostat died after 3 years, due to faulty "smart" HVAC circuitry . The doorbell camera (with built in lithium battery, ) died after 5 years.

> $1200 in hardware, practically worthless.

Meanwhile my mercury-bulb thermostat from the 1960s still works perfectly.
