You can lose controller connectivity and still function, you just can't change anything. I don't believe any features stop working.
As connectivity companies, it's to our advantage that everything wants a connection. ;-) ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, November 4, 2014 1:58:52 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses Soon, when your Internet goes out, you won’t even be able to open your garage door or flush your toilet, because it will all be in the cloud. 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?
