Hello all,
First, a big thanks to everyone in the cocoon community. This forum is filled with so much valuable insight and information, especially for HA noobs like me…
I read elsewhere on this forum the recommended process is to choose a controller then build a system around it. Consequently, I'm wondering which controller software will be best for my use case. I’m planning to deploy 150’ish devices from multiple vendors (Light switches, power outlets, Elk security, Doorbird, blue iris, etc.). From what I can tell, the most important criteria for my build are:
1) Controller stability
3) Operate locally with NO cloud dependencies (I have my own VM network back end).
2) Long-term support/company stability
4) Plug-in support/DIY Configurability/Pure automation capability
5) Cost
At this point I have it narrowed down to CQC or Myserver (leaning very heavily towards CQC), but I’m certainly open to other recommendations as well. Does anyone have any direct, in-depth experience with one, both, or another platform? Can someone outline the specific pros and cons between them?
Thanks!
