This was a really interesting discussion. Subbed, thanks! Ps. I’m also a Homey guy and would enjoy a further video!

Thanks for the support and I’ll see if I can get David to come back for a chat about Homey at some point 👍👍

if you want to run all the advanced features of wifi, split the wifi, smart devices have low powered wifi adaptors that dont like the advanced features of high speed wifi, and you will continual fight with smart devices dropping out.

Interesting and although I’m not qualified to say one way or another, it’s good to hear an alternative perspective. According to David, splitting is never a good idea. Could you give some examples of some of the advanced features that you’re talking about?
