Make sure you have an external hard drive with around 200GB to back up all the ISOs
#AWAVE VS CHICKENSYS VS CDXTRACT TRIAL#
I downloaded them all first, then installed the trial version of Daemon Tools (15-day free trial) and converted them to ISO.īought a whole load of blank CDs and now I can burn them at leisure There is a link on this site to a huge libray with almost 150 images and most of them are MDX. You will need a USB CD Writer if your computer does not have a built in one. Use ImgBurn (it's free) to create CD-Roms straight from the ISO.

When you have the ISO file, DO NOT mount in in Windows.

The main thing is to convert the images to ISO first (many of them are MDX and require Daemon Tools to convert). So it just depends on the specific model and what each manufacturer has decided to do.Creating Akai CD-Roms from disc images is not a problem in Windows, even in Windows 10, although it might be trickier on a MAC. The Phillips hue bridge can work with both its own app locally and with the smartthings hub locally over your local Wi-Fi even if the cloud is not available. And they can’t work with smartthings locally I don’t know about their wall switches, though. It’s quite popular for people who have mobile homes for this reason.Īnd I know TP Link Kasa pocket sockets can continue to work with their app on your local Wi-Fi even if your Internet connection is out. I don’t know of any specific wall switches off the top of my head that work this way, but just as one example the Logitech Harmony hub can still perform most functions even without the Internet once it has been set up.

Second, there is a difference between “Wi-Fi” and “Internet.” Some, but not all, can work on your local Wi-Fi even if your Internet connection is out. It’s just that your automation/rules won’t work. Not necessarily, it depends on the model.įirst, many of these devices will work just as a regular physical wall switch whether the Wi-Fi is working or not. The main drawback to wifi for me is that if your internet goes down you can’t control your lights Most Americans won’t care unless you have solar power but it’s just a reality. But if you aren’t using the battery powered devices that won’t matter.Īs The FAQ linked to noted, Wi-Fi uses a lot more energy then zigbee or Z wave just to run the radio. Light switches are usually really good way to get repeaters spread around the house. The limits for Z wave and zigbee are much higher.Īs said, if you are using the wave or zig bee battery powered devices around the home, you need some Main‘s power devices to act as repeaters unless it’s just a small apartment.

You can hit the limit pretty fast if you start using Wi-Fi for home automation.

And that includes all your Wi-Fi stuff, your phones, tablets, computers, TV boxes, etc. Most home routers have a limit of around 30 simultaneously connected devices, although some do go higher. This is just something to be aware of if you look at other brands/models The specific one you linked to, though, says it’s ETL listed, so that should be good. Speaking just for myself, I don’t want to wire anything into Mains power which doesn’t have good safety engineering. WiFi switches are OK, but there are some caveats:Ĭheap ones Are usually Chinese made models that have no safety certifications.
