I’m excited to share this insightful video that explores the resilience of smart home systems when faced with the loss of internet and power. Armenak Avetisyan conducts a comprehensive stress test, examining how various devices and systems, including Aqara products, Apple HomeKit, and Philips lighting, perform under these conditions. This video is particularly valuable for those concerned about the reliability of their smart home setups during potential outages.
The video highlights several key findings: most smart devices continue to function without internet, with Aqara and HomeKit devices performing exceptionally well. Even during power outages, systems like Apple HomeKit demonstrate resilience, with devices continuing to operate through local networks. The recovery time once power and internet are restored is also tested, showing that most systems return to normal operation within a few minutes.
What are your thoughts on these findings? Have you experienced similar situations with your smart home setup? How do you ensure your system remains resilient during outages? Share your experiences and insights below!
