    I had about a dozen WeMo devices controlling various stuff around the house, they just accumulated over the years. About a year ago, I “got serious” and ripped out all the cloud connected stuff and setup a Zigbee based Home Assistant system. It’s about 5x more capable than the old hodge podge of cloud devices, much lower lag, much better management capabilities, and when the internet connection goes down, it still works. The cloud devices would take long coffee breaks about twice a year.
