Hell ya! Fridge that pays for itself. From: Eric Kuhnke via Af Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 3:11 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses
your samsung internet enabled fridge has been zero dayed and is now participating in a tor-controlled distributed dogecoin mining syndicate.

Microwave display is screwed up....unplug it and plug it back in. Washing machine digital display is not responding.....unplug it and plug it back in. DVD Player frozen.....unplug it and plug it back in. Dodge Intrepid won't shift gears......turn it off and turn it back on. These are all true stories. The internet of things will be a network of crap that doesn't work unless you reboot it regularly. When they are up, the "things" will all be participating in a botnet. finally someone took over Doug's job of letting us all know the sky is falling!?!? hip hip hooray...long live Ken the prognosticator!

And as ISPs, we’ll be getting angry calls like “Is the tower down? I can’t flush my toilet.” You think I’m joking? Remember the thread about LED bulbs interfering with garage door openers? One of the suggested fixes is a garage door opener app on your smartphone. I assume that only works if your smarthouse has working Internet. Our hives will cease to operate if you cut the connection to the collective. I’m imagining that something goes wrong with the cloud controller, and now I can’t even use WiFi within my house, like printing to my wireless printer or using Chromecast to my TV. Yes, I know, Unifi should continue to operate without the controller once set up, but do some features stop working? Like handoff between APs?

What do you do if the customer doesn't have a windows machine? Install a unifi "server" ?

Any options besides multiple routers with multiple ssid's? Does rukus or someone make something with true roaming?
