MWareman Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yep. Fully agree. Cloud can help (especially remote access) - but to have to rely on cloud for your local device to work is just plain nuts.

paulbates Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 God forbid you just unscrewed the lightbulb eh! Which begs the question, how many HA enthusiasts does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Teken Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I gather from the title this only impacted the user from remote control. It did not affect the TSTAT from operating in a stand alone mode. I am curious though about the drop cam. Are people saying these devices have no web server in place to dish out remote play back and viewing? Lastly, our team migrated 4 million companies and users to Microsoft Office 365 / Exchange Online. Those not in a hybrid mode and simply rely on the happy cloud are seriously in for a rude awakening! ️ Anyone who hands over all exchange controls to a cloud service is just asking for trouble. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
MWareman Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 The stat would keep operating, but if you wanted to adjust it or have the stat operate from its learned pattern then you are SOL. Want it cooler because you just got home? Normally, the cloud service would have told it so and turned on the AC. During this outage, users have to manually adjust it. The horror!
larryllix Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Which begs the question, how many HA enthusiasts does it take to screw in a light bulb? Only one! You just hold the bulb and press the remote and the whole world revolves around the bulb.
