Do you have any smarthome stuff? Standing around waiting 30 seconds for your light to come on would be moronic. A complete regression over the electric switch invented in 1884. I'd rip everything out right then and there. Your home should be reliable, smart or no.
- 8-prime 2mo agoWhilst I agree a smart home offers some benefits that your 1884 switch simply cannot match. And the cruicial point is that the 30 seconds are the worst case situation where something went wrong on the network. Its not the usual operational experience you'll get. For me, having to wait 30 seconds once every blue moon is a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
- diffeomorphism 2mo agoButtons etc. have direct binding. So even if your hub goes up in flames those will just keep working. The automated stuff like "starting at sunrise gradually adjust the lights" might be delayed by 30 seconds. Annoying but hardly rage inducing.
