I’ve pointed out Matt Ferrell’s YouTube channel before here, it’s a interesting mix of protection of topics generally surrounding renewable energy.
But his most current video delves into his wise house system which he’s been refining for the last 10 years. It’s powered by Hubitat, a hub that supports WiFi. Zigbee as well as Z-wave, with integrations into IFTTT, plus Amazon as well as Google for voice control.
It’s Madness
But Matt only suggests this configuration for somebody who isn’t terrified to ‘tinker’ as well as ‘has some comfort level with scripting as well as computers’. He likewise explains there is even a lot more complexity with a option like house Assistant.
Matt explains the a lot more powerful house automation systems as ‘a horrible experience for a novice’ that ‘kinda sucks’.
He likewise explains that, in spite of not being the very best solution, the Amazon voice manage system has taken a commanding lead since ‘the least expensive as well as simplest option will win everyday of the week.’
Finally he believes the shining beacon of hope for wise house as well as mass market adoption is CHIP, the linked house Over IP Standard.
It’s a well argued piece as well as shares the message that we’ve been preaching for lots of years too. will CHIP lastly be the wise house saviour? only time will tell.
Check out the video below as well as think about subscribing to this excellent, well researched channel…
