Hello all - new to the forum, so forgive me on the basic questions.
I'm looking to put a hardware/software solution in a second home. Goals would be to monitor temps, control HVAC, unlock/lock doors, and provide some security cameras.
In looking at some options, it seems like it might be doable to link a primary home system to a system in the second home - thereby having one app interface and being able to control/monitor both properties.
Thoughts on that setup? Would it be better to have a dedicated controller for each location?
It seems like if you were on an iPad on premise, you'd have some latency going back and forth to a controller in another location. Its' just not clear to me if that iPad app would be connected locally (thus faster if on premise) or if it would be cloud based and not matter.
