Home automation

mads391i
mads391i over 8 years ago

Hi

 

Element community

 

I'm thinking about making some home automation. I just stared planning stuff in my head, but came over a question I probalbly need some help with. I was think about making the system over Ethernet, but the more i thought about i started to think it would be smarter making it WiFi. Maybe even blue tooth, but mostly WiFi.

What is the pros n cons about making it WiFi?

    I sometimes wonder why these resurface on the main landing page without any new comments.

    This discussion's about a decade old from memory! : ) The requirement from the original poster may have gone away by now.

    I guess someone spammed on it and that spam was flagged/removed? There was activity but we don't see it.
