TL;DR
– It takes all the best aspects of WiFi, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave and mashes them together
– IPv6 based. Self healing P2P Mesh Network
– Very fast and reliable
– Apple and Google want to use it. I think they’re too big to ignore, and as a smart home company it makes sense to follow the path of the two largest companies in the world. Plus it’s a great technology so there’s little downside
– I think even Amazon will start supporting it (the Eero routers have the hardware, and can be activated as part of beta testing)
