Since it needs power, why not go PoE and dump the RF?
Looks like it's designed not to require TCP/IP or other protocol networking.
It uses ESP-NOW (close to WiFi in some sense but reduced in number of
OSI layers, and LoRa. In the first case there is not IP but MAC, the
second is a proprietary protocol.
Not all locations have easy access to wifi or wired networks.
That's true. This is what it is designed for...
But it says nothing about the security of the data going over 433 MHz.
The data is encoded and encrypted. Not so safe as using AES or some
standard protocol, but safe enough for a control of local premises.
Using LoRa means that you have to find a proper ratio among length of
messages and safety.
It's nice to see a device which doesn't assume you'll put it on wifi and doesn't assume it can contact the manufacturer's servers to
report who knows what or try to make you pay a subscription for full function.
We work just for that: first level devices work in an isolated group
doing their job. Nothing else required. Second level adds a HUB, that
manages the group from a single point, still local. But the HUB have the
added task of publishing to an MQTT server in, possibly a Home Assistant
LOCAL server. Finally is up to the user to open HASS to the world trough SSL
