Bluetooth is still cool but I think I’m with others where WiFi would have been preferable. I might not kick something off while at work but I might want to check in on something that’s going while I’m out. I’m lucky to live in a brand new town house so we have sprinklers and all the WiFi enabled options. Since I have such access to the alarms and other systems I wouldn’t be worried about the fire concerns of not being home because I have emergency cutoffs on everything. Bluetooth is good though, as long as their’s a means of access.
