Not all locations have easy access to wifi or wired networks.
But it says nothing about the security of the data going over 433 MHz.

Nor how robustly it can defend against active interference, eavesdropping
or other acts of malevolence.
I spooked my neighbor by showing him how easily I could interfere
with his wireless "intrusion alarm" (obviously wireless to reduce
the cost of wiring!).  Do vendors think that adversaries are
all naive?  How long does it take to financially impact a
client relying on such technology?

It's nice to see a device which doesn't assume you'll put it on wifi and doesn't assume it can contact the manufacturer's servers to
report who knows what or try to make you pay a subscription for full function.

I'm still waiting for the hack that turns everyone's thermostat
up/down, activates ovens, etc.
