Ask HN: How scalable can Apple HomeKit's network be?

1 pointsby erbdexalmost 10 years ago
<p><pre><code> 1. Because it is WiFi and BLE based, won&#x27;t range be a perpetual issue? 2. Would a non mesh based strict star-topology with Apple TV sitting at the center really work in larger homes? 3. What is the state of meshing in BLE and WiFi and are these smart-devices leveraging it? 4. Won&#x27;t there be killer interference? Remember Steve Job&#x27;s demo fail because of users had 570 wifi stations at the conference? </code></pre> Basically, what are your thoughts about this since a significant chunk of the IoT industry seems to be going the 6LoWPAN way.
