And reason #458 why I am skipping the whole "IoT revolution" in my home.
I consider this motivation for DIY.
- FilterSweep 9y agoOnce you get past library installation problems, RPis are great for this type of thing.
- ViViDboarder 9y agoThere are a good amount of IoT devices that work offline and don't use public internet at all. I specifically buy devices that aren't bound to the Internet and I've found a good amount.
- CaptSpify 9y agoWhere do you typically find them? I've had very little luck with that
- tjohns 9y agoFor one... Philips Hue. The lights connect to a Zigbee base station, which has a local API for controlling the system. (The base station does connect to a WAN server for remote control, but you could always block that at your firewall. The system works entirely fine in local mode.)
- CaptSpify 9y agoThe last time that I looked, the Hue/Zigbee/whatever protocols were still fighting over each other to become the standard. Has that settled down?
