Thanks for your response. I'd, kindly, disagree with you on #2. I'm a serious home automation user - and have it deployed in multiple locations for myself and family. I won't buy a controller that banks it's existence on Internet connectivity - there are use cases for having controllers air-gapped, and in my book forcing an API in the cloud is a big miss. Hope you'll reconsider, until then - you won't find me as a customer.
Totally agree. My home automation system (a pretty extensive Control4 installation) works completely fine when my internet connection is down (except remote access of course), and that would be an absolute requirement for anything I'd install in the future.
