HI All
So i really don’t know exactly which direction I should go. Was watching an online video where I saw somebody setting up Home Assistant to do various things on their home network like Turn off the Internet or Turn off Facebook. All of which sound very interesting to me…
Would also be nice to have indicators of bandwidth usage etc…
I have no idea if I can do this with my current hardware and if not… What is a good router/hardware direction to go for such controls.
I have a ER605 version 2.
I started playing with the their Omada controller setup… which seems a bit confusing to me. I am currently just using the free cloud controller, not the hardware controller device they sell. (Does it make any sense to buy that in a simple home network setup?)
I was looking at this integration
But I cannot seem to get it setup/connected at all…
I’m confused if that needs to point to the ER605 or the Controller… If it needs to point to the Controller… Can I point to the cloud controller?? Even if so… i tend to not want to be reliant on something in the cloud so I would probably buy a controller…
Stepping back… Will any of this hardware give me the control I am seeking through Home Assistant or am I better off investing in other hardware?
Thanks!
