Your solution was “Why dont ppl just buy pair of ikea sockets and never need to solve the issue?”
That’s too simple, because:
- you cannot tell end devices which router to connect to; in your specific situation most end devices connect to the routers, but that will not happen everywhere
- a “pair of ikea sockets” may not be sufficient
- if you already have a large number of end devices, and you start adding router devices, you may not be able to add them because you’re hitting the limit while adding the routers, and …
- …some end devices, like Aqara, don’t like to switch routers, so if they got paired directly with Homey and you add additional router devices, the Aqara’s may not switch to using those router devices.
