I have an ancient programmable thermostat. It allows me to program heating and cooling for the house. It is wired. I do not host my private information on the cloud. I do not have to send wireless data. I do not have to worry about security updates, feature patches, or bugs. It was thoroughly tested under a waterfall development cycle with strict functional requirements.

I have a sprinkler system with similar qualities.

Mine isn't, because I always forget to activate rain delay. And under our water restriction, we could get fined for watering within 24 hours of rain.

I'm assuming you always remember?

No, I use a rain sensor. Also not connected to the internet.
