Potential Drawbacks and Considerations
No system is perfect. As of writing, the SOE402 ecosystem faces two major hurdles:
- The Cost of Entry: Because the technology is new, compatible appliances (smart fridges, washers, dryers) carry a 20-30% premium over standard IoT devices.
- The Learning Curve: While the AI is smart, teaching it your specific quirks (e.g., "I actually like the AC at 68°F at night, not 72°F") takes about two weeks of manual overrides.
