Exactly. I have no interest in adding any more computer networks or nodes to my home, nor do I wish to provide Internet services on public IPs, etc. I don't need the complexity in my life, nor do I need the attack surface (nor the trade of legacy annoyances for modern annoyances).

BUT, I do need a smoke detector that doesn't make me want to kill myself every time I interact with it - I already have printers for that. Here's hoping there's an easy way to completely disable all networking on these devices...

Don't set it up on Wifi ... the devices will talk to each other over ZigBee as far as I can tell.
Is there anyone out there trying to give printers the Nest treatment?
