- mlindner 6y agoIf your home automation system requires a network connection to work then something is very wrong.
- m4rtink 6y agoRight? Home automation is perfectly fine and mught even expose a secure authenticated API to the internet so you can say check and adjust the temperature remotely, but it shoukd never ever go down for lical use if the Internet connectivity or the remote service backend goes down.
