Show Notes
We’ve all dealt with the frustration of a smart home that stops working because a single Raspberry Pi or SD card failed. In this episode, we explore a radical architectural shift: the "decoupled" smart home. By moving your automation logic to a professional Cloud VPS while keeping only the essential hardware local, you can gain enterprise-grade reliability without sacrificing control. We dive into the technical mechanics of MQTT, the reality of internet latency, and how "reflex" systems like direct binding can keep your lights on even if the internet goes down.
