How Do You Future Proof IoT? You Add a Hub.
summary
Claim: the smart home hub is critical to scale, not dead—average homes rise from ~10 to ~100 devices by 2025 and cloud latency and outages break “couch control.” Implementation: run local automation and device control on a hub (ARM with ~64MB flash/RAM, Linux/BSD, an SDP like Docker, ZigBee/Z‑wave radios or SmartThings Link dongle) so automations run during internet outages. Program: Works As SmartThings Hub (WASH) partners include Calyx GigaSpire Max and Silicon Labs, plus Nvidia Shield and Vodafone box 3.0.
