It's like people only see one side of home automation: "everything is connected to the internet"
Please do some reading or at least inform yourself this is not the case.
99% of all "smart" devices in my home are connected to local APIs only without any need for the internet.
- lm28469 6y agoHave you ever used a car from 1970 ? How's the electronic holding ? Internet isn't the only issue, instead of a physical switch you introduce 50 points of failure to save 5 seconds per day. Last year my parent's electric blind motor died, no manual backup, they had to wait two weeks for a replacement, this was a large window/door thing, it was in closed position and blocked 70% of the daylight in the living room/kitchen. The house is not even 5 years old, I dread the day I inherit it and have to deal with this bs
