you are arguing voice control to pause the tv is somehow less automated than looking for one of your wall or remote


You do I understand the difference between having a local controller run the command verses having it go out to the cloud to run the command right ?

i need to send something to another poster anyway so hit me up at my username @ live.com.
Are you referring to me as being that "other poster" regarding the sensor that you said that you were going to send to me several months ago? If so, I'm still patiently waiting, as I’ve still not received it (fwiw, I’m still willing to purchase it from you).

What's faster? Telling Alexa to pause the movie or getting up and finding the right remote then looking for the right button to mash?

has been fun but honestly tell me more about Hue. Is it zwave, Bluetooth, etc ? Does the bulb, switch, or both have the radio in it. Hue seems like one of the better products out there. I've never messed with it though. I'm at the lighting crossroads in my house and not sure where I'm investigation my time and money. Last thing I want to do is changed out every light load in my house to a brand that gets bought out and doesn't play nice with my system.

I'll reply later when I have some time to put my thoughts together on this.

Having the request process locally without having to go to the cloud. I like to limit the amount of devices that are cloud dependent. Your ISP goes down and you in the dark.

finding the right remote


Why do you have multiple remotes ?

Got it! Thanks!

Just sold the last of those nest cameras for $280. That was a great little money tree for awhile.
