Yeah that’s the problem(same with automation. ) You have your own infrastructure- $$ but secure - or you have the backen offsourced to a remote server for a cheaper device and get data raped.
Where would be a good place to ask for advice about setting these things up? It’s not something I want to start looking in to quite yet but once I move in a few months I’d really like to set something up and I know I’m going to need some advice…
