I’ve enjoyed my home mini the last few years, with two Chromecasts, a Sensi thermometer and a few smart plugs. Controlling those my voice has been handy.
I’ve especially enjoyed the ability to find my phone with my Mini.
But now that it’s dead, what other systems do the same, possibly better?
Not at all. I’ve got over 140.
The issue is more what you want them to do and how to want to interface with them.
Gotcha. I had heard that too many on your wifi would be a problem and I should look to a specialized hub or some such.
