Frankly I don’t even want that. I hate when my fridge starts beeping at me because I have it open while I am putting away groceries or cleaning it.

Having my lights automatically controlled is nice. They turn on just before sunset, then I have my lamp in my bedroom turn on just before I head to bed normally so I can get straight into bed and hit a button to make the room dark.

I have a few other things connected to Home Assistant like my 3D printer and an air quality meter just to have a dashboard for how things are in my place. But I have zero interest in appliances being connected to the internet. Especially anything that could be dangerous if it malfunctioned.

Yes, in Canada the tap water is generally safe to drink. In my city the water is incredibly good to the point where filtering it is completely pointless as it is all rainwater that gets stored in a few reservoirs on the local mountains.
