    I prefer cables over Bluetooth and wifi:

    • Ethernet over WiFi
    • USB cable over Bluetooth
    • cabled headphone over Bluetooth headphone

    While this increases convenience this also introduces new attack vectors (denial of service by jamming for example, tracking, or impersonation and mtm attacks).

    Every person who uses wireless devices constantly emits signals into space. These can be obviously monitored, according to the laws of physics the inverse square law limits the range of such detection capabilities. Also depends on the electromagnetic noise in your environment: Jammers/other people.

    • Geolocation with wifi environment.

    Honestly I don’t mind that, at all. What I mind is if it’s mandatory and only through proprietary applications.

    WiFi, BT, Zigbee, Z-wave etc are not per se a problem. The question instead is who practically owns the device. If the behavior is force on you as a customer, then it’s easy, it’s not YOUR device. Consider then buying OSHW or whatever alternative you need, including potentially non connected devices that you yourself connect on your terms.

    Edit: check which devices are compatible with GadgetBridge and/or HomeAssistant then reviews from actual customers. That should help you find out which devices can match your requirements.
