    Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

      The trick is to buy reasonably open devices, then provide the smarts yourself.
      If it can talk to / be configured by HomeAssistant, and doesn’t require internet to work, it’ll probably be fine.
