i think this might be shadow banned, but FWIW, i use PIC and ALU to bypass smart controlls at the hardware level so old men and women, who dont want smart appliances get a hardware version that is locally contained. physically i fabricate a new control panel or console, manufacture the "digital over analogue" dials and keypads, and replace the smart hardware.

You're not hellbanned but sometimes you have to click on the timestamp of the comment to reply to it. Sounds like a great small business gig; there's probably also a market for people who had smart devices that became crippled when the parent company shut down.
yup there is its a good side gig, im a softie tho, so i take it easy on markup and billing...im barter friendly , as out here things and materials are nearly good as cash.
It warms my heart to know that this is happening out there. How can a potential customer get in touch with you?
