Why hasn't a non-crappy iot/smart hardware line and ecosystem emerged after years and years of "internet of shit" catastrophes such as this one? So many angry users are a market ripe for capturing, aren't they? Or maybe there aren't as many angry ones as it seems, and it's just a small portion of power users?
- sedatk 3y agoUbiquiti is one, but they’re mostly enterprise oriented.
- pkulak 3y agoZWave. It a closed system, with hardware licensing, all that stuff. But it offers local control, at all times, exclusively. Zigbee is the fully-open version, but as such it's not a "hardware line" like ZWave is.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> just a small portion of power users? It is exactly this. Average Joe just downloads the MyQ app for remote control. Or uses Wyze, or Tapo, Kasa, etc, for whatever they buy. The number of people trying to get everything integrated into a single environment like Home Assistant is low. Which makes sense, because HA is a pain in the ass if you're not already technically inclined. Regular folks just don't have any appetite to deal with that.
