1. Z-wave switches/outlets/locks - all lamps, receptacles and locks controlled by Vera Edge; 2. DSC alarm system - door/flood sensors, integrated with Vera; 3. Nest cameras - not integrated; 4. Nest thermostat - integrated with Vera and Alexa;
Currently trying to integrate Vera and Alexa to have fully voice- controlled home.
so the point is to try to block a big Internet entity and check if there is any backslash, any reaction or any anything :)
i bet they can be soundproof but what i see here is that the builders are trying to cut every corner they can, trying to build as much as possible houses/condos which are sold even before the construction begins (http://www.seattletimes.com/business/home-prices-soar-again-...).
and if we're talking about a real highrise then good luck trying to change a door or window frames there to soundproof ones.
Anyways i'm not trying to convince anyone, but after more than 30 years spent in different types of appartments i'm pretty happy in my own house.
and given the way condos built in the US/canada it's just impossible, i was pretty surprised when i saw a six floors condo built with wooden frame, something like that: https://imgur.com/usO1i9r
