What kind of home automation mess are we leaving our family if we were to suddenly pass? I assume most wives have no interest in our foolishness and wouldn’t have a clue what to do when HA crashes, or a device dies / loses communication. Have you given your family your smart home apps logins?

I’ve been thinking about this and I recently removed 4 Shelly PM 1’s from my house wall boxes and replaced them with smart bulbs. I figure at the very least if something happens to me a smart bulb can be replaced with a dumb one.

It’s something to consider I suppose.
