Have you unplugged your fridge lately? You have to roll it out. That
involves taking off the grill at the bottom and figuring out what
kind of
wrench you need to crank up the leveling screws. Then your wife
makes you
pick up the dead mice and pet turtles and get out the vacuum and
sweep up
all the dog hair and dried up vegetables that are back there. Then you
climb back there and unplug it, count one Mississippi two
Mississippi, plug
it back in, climb back out, roll the fridge back, re-level it, and
put the
grill back on.

Unplug it/plug it back in is cheaper than putting in an on/off switch
(or
re-init switch).

I'd be happy to share in that job.
My big beef with our brave new world is that you have to reboot
everything.
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!

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?

You can host them all on a single controller in your datacenter.

Can't stand unifi, have them came up with a way to do it without a
controller? What do you do if the customer doesn't have a windows
machine?
Install a unifi "server" ?

What are you guys doing to cover large homes with good wifi coverage?
Any options besides multiple routers with multiple ssid's? Does
rukus or
someone make something with true roaming?
