It's just a bad idea. I got caught up in a situation where one company sold me a solar installation, then a subcontractor installed and configured it. Apparently they got into a spat about money, because the subcontractor told me to pay the bill straight to them.
Otherwise they'd shut down the newly installed solar installation. I said, can you do that? Of course while talking, I changed the WiFi password.
- bennettnate5 2y agoSolar installations are expensive enough that some manufacturers can probably afford to integrate a cellular modem into the product (similar to how all new cars do it today). Good luck changing the Wi-Fi password on that!
- bartvk 2y agoThat's a very good point, and I don't like it.
- Loughla 2y agoI'm not sure any company does that though. They're operating on pretty slim margins from what I understand, unless I'm wrong. Adding completely unused features just for fun isn't really a common business practice?
- Schiendelman 2y agoEnphase does, as noted elsewhere in the dicussion on this post!
