This meme is always dumb when it comes around, many of us with skills can pull off a smart home without resorting to "the cloud(s)" even if it means building our own IoT devices.

Do I trust Ring? Fuck no! Do I trust the camera doorbell I built and wrote the code with my own 2 hands and knows what it's doing with every byte of data? Tentatively.

I'm taking things a step further and building a HAL9000 system for my house. This time with 15% less mental illness.
