Why Not Use Shelly Cloud (And Why That's the Highest Compliment I Can Pay It)

I disable the cloud on every Shelly plug in my house. And that is exactly why I love Shelly. Stay with me, because that sounds backwards. A friend called me on a different version of it: “You’re the local-LAN guy, but you use Ubiquiti’s UniFi cloud API to run your networks. Pick a lane.” Fair hit. It looks inconsistent. It isn’t — I was just naming the principle wrong.
