So in this scenario, a Lutro Caseta switch is about $60. So in this scenario, you're going to rip out a switch that is probably by that time like a decade old. And you should probably have an electrician do some of those types of things too. So it's like that's never going to be worth it.

That's also true. If you buy someone's house who was a smart home enthusiast, chances are what you're going to find if they do have wall switches... It's all X10.

Yeah. But like, you know, it's going to be like, you know, Belkin Wemo switches that no longer pair to the anything or like, it's going to be like old, broken, crappy home gear. Like that's, you're not going to find somebody with a house full of Caseta switches. Like you're not that lucky. Like that's not what you're going to find.

Yeah. And, you know, there's a number of shortcomings for nerds that houses might have that you could fix, you know, if you want to either yourself or maybe by applying small or maybe large amounts of money.
