Ring, Ring, why don't you give me a call? Amazon-owned doorbells aren’t answering after large-scale outage

Re: Smart home?

Life isn't one-size-fits-all. Some of us do need and use the smart-home devices. The Ring proximity alerts allow me time to get to the door in my wheelchair before someone gives up waiting and leaves. Ring cameras allow me to see outside when I dont want to leave my hospital bed to go to a window. They also allow me to talk to people outside, like on an intercom. My Alexa compatible lights even allow me to use my voice to control lighting instead of trying to swing at switches from my chair. I have an Echo in every room and use my voice to control all of my home's lighting, temperature, humidity, security, exterior lighting, and music. It seems pretty smart to me.
