Default Too much info

I’m thinking that providing too much detailed product info may make one vulnerable to hacking.

I will say that up north I have a much larger house with 3 floors, approximately 4500 sq ft. It has minimal Ethernet wiring. Early on I went with one of the most popular mesh networks and it has worked great. 4 mesh modules. Have Wyze cameras (work great and inexpensive) both inside and outside and a video doorbell. Stream television. Security system that can be turned off/on through the internet.

Here in The Villages our current home is much smaller. As such I have a current 2.4 / 5.0 router. It covers the home with no problems. Stream television. Both up north and here I have the same brand DOCSIS 3.1 modems. Installed a video doorbell (different brand than up north) and have Wyze cameras.

I have OOMA for a land line that we transport back and forth — we are getting so it is seldom used and may be getting rid of it.

Wife doesn’t want WiFi controlled thermostats so I have weather WiFi temperature/humidity controls (LaCrosse) both places. They work okay once setup but difficult to get them to link to WiFi systems.

Have not ventured into WiFi controlled door locks or sprinkler control yet but may be doing so this year.
