I’m stuck on moving beyond what I can do with Echo devices. I get it. To many of you, that’s not that Smart and I am limiting myself. I can see that. To be honest, I have yet to see a function or benefit of moving beyond what I have that can justify the cost, setup times and ongoing maintenance time to set up to a real hub. I have smart lighting, thermostats, alarm system, smart garage doors, pool pump, shower, appliances, TV’s etc. and everything works just fine on the Alexa ecosystem. I don’t have to manage a hub. And I have only lost internet connection 1 time in the last few years so a system that’ll run without internet isn’t a big deal to me, especially when you consider the time and cost justification for just that once in a blue moon thing. However, I keep thinking I am limiting myself? Am I missing out? Should I get a hub? What are the real benefits? The loss of internet isn’t a problem and it’s not reason enough for change. I do have a little bit of tinkering time but I don’t want to spend all my limited free time making sure another level of tech is working to support what was already working before. Been looking at Hubitat specifically and am 100% against anything Samsung. Make that 110%. Rambling admittedly.
