I have a smart home startup running in the middle east, and we want to develop the exact same idea in the future. The only difference is the cloud part.
People here (and I assume many other countries) hate the cloud, they want everything running locally and with a minimum subscription. So we've been brainstorming a solution similar to camect[1] that handles everything locally. We still have a long time to reach that since the market here is at least 5 years late that USA.
Do you consider building this kind of device in the future?
