"Hackable" might not be necessary, but local only control is an absolute must.

That being said, if I had infinite money, I'd just do away with consumer "smart" devices and put in industrial controls.

Being able to flash custom firmware is what i consider "hackable" and i feel that is a must. If some cool new feature is introduced/invented that is possible to run on the hardware, then i want my devices to be able to support it while not requiring the grace of the hardware manufacturer.
