Ah I see. I suspect my irritation with their use of wifi also came down to their Android app. If you can believe it, it's even worse.
That said, it's not necessarily a bad thing for devices to have a hub. The hue lights, for example, hook up to a zigbee base station with an ethernet jack. So I never needed to enter a wifi password in the first place ;-)
That said, I had range issues too. The antennas must be microscopic. Maybe we'll have pCell routers someday.
- chaostheory 13y agoYeah I feel that's why the WeMos were really flawed. They needed a hub. A guaranteed place that keeps track of their status as well as a guaranteed place to relay data.
- dangrossman 13y agoLuckily for us hackers, since they use wifi any computer can be that hub. Just give them static IP leases on your router so you don't have to re-discover them after a power/network outage.
- chaostheory 13y agoI wish I talked to you sooner. I just didnt' have the time to experiment. I didn't have a spare computer either.
