Local Processing in Hub V2

What’s the point? If the only major feature in v2 is the ability to insert AA batteries, I’d rather spend the $100 on a good UPS.

Well, Michael – that is pretty much the only tangible feature of Hub V2 for now. It is undeniable that, technically, the hardware will eventually provide substantial incremental value over Hub V1.

But I warned everyone not to bother being an early-adopter of Hub V2, months ahead of its release, in May 2015.

Frustrated by the state of things

My Hub V1 is working just fine. I had a very momentary outage (a couple minutes?). No manual reboot or any other intervention required. In other words: Being an early adopter of a piece of hardware from an unreliable company isn’t a great consumer decision. This is not directed at you, Ron, but rather the hundreds of people that endlessly day in and day out begged for the release of Hub V2 (1817 posts in just one of the Hub V2 begging Topics…): And later in the same Topic I wrote: May 18, 2015… I would rather heartily recommend patience though, even after release: Don’t rush to be an “early adopter” of the new platform. If you’ve got time to be a Beta tester (or post-Beta … Gamma (?!) tester), then early adoption is a great service to the Community and hopefully you have a smoot…
