I absolutely agree. It is a relationship problem in the end. But what I find quite enlightening about this discussion here is the clear reasoning why it is not a good idea for many reasons. The advantage of “why not” just doesn’t even technically hold up compared to all the problems of “not secure against hacks”, “not really covering classical home security” or “just one person in control” and all the other ones I forgot. If the guy does not listen to his wife’s feelings (which is terrible…), then maybe at least when she has great arguments against it.

I don’t feel like this is the wrong subreddit. Our subreddit should not only talk about how to enable everything automation, but also about the valid concerns of doing so in some cases.
