Don’t know about that guy but I use a RasPi 4 with a four bay laptop drive toaster. Four terabyte drives and it works great for streaming to multiple devices.
I like that the ZigBee and z-wave devices don’t need internet, but the biggest reason in my opinion is the relay function where they extend the network, and the binding options so they work even if your hub or wireless goes down.
I use irrigation and honestly, dont see the merit in dynamic control. Some el’ cheapo timers off Amazon switch the water on and off on a schedule. Yeah maybe you want to worry about rain days, but to me I don’t really care, whatever they get more water. I’d rather spend that home automation budget on something more useful to me.
