100,000 Smart Homes Went Dark Overnight - Is Yours Next?

Your smart devices could stop working tomorrow — not because they broke, but because a company decided to flip a switch. From Insteon to Belkin Wemo to Neato, cloud shutdowns have already cost thousands of smart home owners hundreds of dollars each. This video gives you a three-tier risk framework — red, yellow, green — to audit what you own and buy smarter going forward.

✅ Why cloud-dependent smart home devices are a ticking clock — and which shutdowns have already happened
✅ The three-tier risk framework (Red / Yellow / Green) and exactly where your devices fall
✅ Why Matter isn't the silver bullet it's marketed as — and what the gaps actually are
✅ The four-question checklist to run before buying any connected device
✅ Best local-first hubs: Home Assistant, Hubitat, Homey Pro, Apple Home, and IKEA Dirigera compared
✅ Budget green-tier entry points under $150 that give you full local control
