28 days agoAbsolutely this. I have limited experience with the whole home automation market, but I find the Shelly model to be perfect: Local access via BLE or LAN ist always enabled out of the box, cloud (run by Shelly) requires a checkbox to be activated.
Yep, and I paid the premium for a Fronius one and so far, apart from their customer service being clearly oriented towards the chain “customer -> installer -> Fronius” I am pretty happy with it.
They are staying on top of things with their software updates, provide proper changelogs and API documentation and features like emergency offgrid power have improved over the period of my ownership. It was okay with a switchover time of about 60 seconds of no power from and to the grid when I bought the thing, and the last time emergency power triggered, the switchover to local took only about 12 seconds and switching back was seamless with my UPSes not even triggering. I would recommend them.
