aight.
i'm gonna go with google (bleah) at least initially to do some prototyping. i need to figure out the best placement with my sprawling house and many family members who consume my data in addition to my pool which is a bit odd because its on the SIDE of my house (long story short, house is on 3 acres but most of that is a wooded hill so the only way to expand is on either side)
the one thing that gives me pause is if you go to google's store...they don't even list 'google wifi' in the hardware section that comes up. you have to search for it which concerns me a bit.
its all a crapshoot these days. i think wink is on its dying breath now but smartthings doesn't seem to be doing much better so i wish SOMEONE would integrate zwave & zigbee into a hub that will actually be around in 5 years.

Yeah, what I really don't like about Google is it's very cloud based. It barely has any storage for it's firmware. Which is a great thing because the semi AI stuff they are doing with it is very neat, but it's also dependent on them. If they just on a whim stop supporting it like they tend to do on some stuff, you basically no longer have a working product.
