Normally I'm a pretty earlier adopter of new technology but home automation doesn't appeal to me because I don't want to have to constantly pay a subscription to someone to process my commands when I have a perfectly functional computer.

I want to have a doorbell that does not financially commit me to a monthly fee I do not think that's too much to ask.

There's plenty of products without subscriptions... Including your doorbell example.

Maybe you haven't actually researched this enough?
