Damage

More than that, I was asked to login with my electronic identification account

Hilarious, you think the average Italian can afford a private/condo solar installation?

Didn't I read somewhere that today's youth drinks less alcohol? I know when I was young I wouldn't be caught "dancing" at the club unless I was closer to puking than to slurred speech.

Lol I mean it's Milan. Over there they honk at you if it takes you more than 0.001s to press the accelerator after a green light.

Well I guess you missed the memes about what we do to horseshoe crabs

The context of the conversation is vast deployment of solar panels

Well, unless you want to power the pump via pedals, the problem stands, even if greatly diminished.

Even concepts can easily surpass that

It's not like it'll stop working once this is introduced

I'm using zigbee2mqtt, I've noticed that leaving things alone for a while helps with network stability.

I don't use third party hubs, everything is connected to the z2m coordinator.

I've ditched pretty much all Aqara devices as they have problems getting their messages relayed, the best alternative was creating a separate network just for them, I did that for a while but then I decided to just replace them.

Dishonest question, your following comments show you clearly know the common points of these discussions.

There's no arguing that using WiFi for this purpose is an obstacle to widespread adoption and a security risk, no matter how well you yourself are handling it.

There's also the technical advantage of those IoT networks being meshed by design, whereas expanding a WiFi network with mesh functionality often carries challenges.

ZigBee/Thread are just better for this, you're protected without doing anything.

Requirements like the ones you listed above make widespread adoption impossible, short of forcing routers to have a separate IoT network and forcing devices to use only that, with all the issues that may prop up along the way.
