Netscape co-founder's new venture: Google Nest, but for mansions (2017)
- PaulHoule 7y agoIt would be a fun job to wire a mansion with Cat 6 or 6A mansion, install hubs for all wireless technology (Zigbee, Z-Wave, BLE, WiFi, DECT, ...) It gets difficult even to cover a 2200 sq foot or so space, such as an old farmhouse. Right now I am cutting an Ethernet cable to install my SmartThings hub close to the bedroom so it can hear the Sengled switch that controls the lightstrip in the bedroom closet that connects to the hue hub with a powerful radio I had trouble with the lights not turning on when the switch was pressed reliably. Investigation revealed that if the distance was too great, the devices would attempt error recovery that would sometimes succeed, other times fail. Few homeowners are that dedicated.
