Reliable WIFI UI for HS3
Hi,
I will try to make it short. I am an electronic early adopter, and my house was/is fully automated since more than 20 years. X-10, Crestron, HAI, control 4, ELK, Elan multizones multisources, Coracces UI.
I recently decided to upgrade, and choose HomeSeer. My first choice was Control-4 but I am a DIY type of guy. I have not yet decided on final configuration of my system, mainly for UI. I will have 12 UI in final.
I have problems with all my WIFI UI (IOS and Android). I used to have hardwire UI, Coracess and Elan Via music interface. The reliability was 100%. Always on, always working. Slow but ready and working.
IOS IPad UI freeze when not in use (in a 24 hours period). Android UI stop HS app frequently, and always when I do couple of command back to back.
I ask you community people what are your experiences with Wi-Fi UI devices, is there a way to make them almost reliable (meaning always on, and ready to operate, even after a 24 hour period of inactivity)
Or do I have to go to hardwire type of device to obtain reliable UI.
Thank-you for your input.
