No offense, but is a RPI reliable enough for this application?

No offense, but is a RPI reliable enough for this application?
- liotier 9y agoYes, but the SD card may have a short life if the system writes a lot on it - so far that is the common failure mode of RPi, which are otherwise reliable.
- tjoff 9y agoI explicitly said that the RPI wasn't suitable... But listed it as an example of a way too powerful device that is still cheap. Just to emphasize that you don't need expensive hardware.
- maxerickson 9y agoWhat sort of reliability? Various smart features should fail safe anyway, if that is true then "reliable enough" doesn't have to be all that high a bar. Of course most people won't put up with rebooting their house once a week, so it isn't that low of a bar either.
