I'm a retired EE that spent my career in low voltage and have been out of the game for a long time, so I can't really keep up with the technical nomenclature anymore, but I'm curious...How does your algorithm account for the decreased efficiency and storage capacity of batteries over time? Are you simply relying on scheduled maintenance or do you actually account for it over time with a margin of error or other mechanism?

I'm a retired network engineer that now owns and operates an RV park. I exclusively use Ubiquiti because they are easy to manage and cost effective compared to products from that restaurant supply company. I couldn't tell you at the home game level, but from a small enterprise perspective out of the box their meshes are good enough for 95% of the typical security concerns. Things like bandwidth throttling and brute force attacks take a bit more tweaking but as most often is the case those come from people you are always going to be in an arms race to outwit.

Having been in tech for about 40 years now I've seen a lot of fad products come and go.
