I would love to hear of counter-examples, what pieces of tech that rely on third party service have actually lasted more than 10 years?
I don't trust a SaaS to stick around for 6 months, let alone integrate into a 30+ year home.
- simonjgreen 3y agoAll of my ZigBee lighting. My house has been entirely ZigBee for over a decade. If by third party service you mean cloud then I'd suggest Hue, but I actually run mine locally.
- xattt 3y agoHubitat is exactly this (runs locally), but with a lot more support for what gets blessed but the corporate owner.
- Groxx 3y agoZigBee seems like one of the few long-term-reasonable options, yeah. Self-hosting (as an option! it's insane for most, but it guarantees replacements can be made) and a reasonable standard is critical for longevity.
