Home Network Survey
I did some snooping on my home network, partially because I was trying to see if my wifi camera really required the app or if I could find another way to access it, but on the way to exploring that question I took stock of my home network:
- 3 PCs (home desktop, work laptop, linux laptop)
- 1 iPad (Wife's daily driver)
- 3 phones (wife's iPhone, my work iPhone and my personal Android phone)
- 2 Raspberry Pis
- 4 Streaming devices (2 Rokus, 1 Chromecast, 1 Fire stick)
- 1 Gaming system (Nintendo Switch)
- 1 WiFi Printer
- 1 Smart speaker (Google Nest)
- 1 Wifi camera
- 5 Smart switches & outlets
Fascinating at how the world has changed. To move from a dial up internet connection for one computer, to this era of always-on Internet for a nearly unlimited number of household devices. As I continue down the road of the smart home and internet of things, that number will continue to grow. I have one more smart switch to install, not sure where as it's original location is no longer viable. And I am also curious to look into things like a wifi garage controller, etc.
