I know first hand the mess from my friend who died of cancer at 38 leaving behind a wife and daughter with not only only accounts being locked out but a sprawling home lab that they did not understand. Even things like smart lights became a stumbling block when they could not control them. The router was a virtual machine on a rack mounted server in the basement. Had to unwind a lot.

A possibly unpopular opinion is that people should think long and hard about things like smart lights so that they can have cool mood lighting or whatever. I'm needing to have a lot of electrical redone because of a kitchen fire--microwave offed itself in the middle of the night, scary--and I told my electrician "no smart stuff." Which he was totally on-board with. I honestly think it's pretty much a gimmick for most people.
