  Here

  H2i® models provide heating, even in outdoor temperatures as low as -13° F, producing up to 100% heating capacity at 5° F. These units offer year-round comfort even in extreme climates

  Their technical documents show that they are down to about 20% of their usual heat output at that lowest temperature so they need to be sized up accordingly. The reality for most folks in an area cold enough to require these is they have backup heat sources for the coldest days anyways.

  I’ve got several full color Hue bulbs that are the most used lights in my house. I haven’t had a single failure in a decade.

  I was more than a little annoyed when they decided to stop supporting my original controller for them though.

  I would think most wifi jamming is just deauth attacks. It is much easier to just channel hop, enumerate clients, and send them deauthentication packets.

  This way you don’t need a particularly powerful radio/antenna, any laptop/hacking tool with Wi-Fi is all you need. There are scripts out there that automate the whole thing, so almost no deep knowledge of wifi protocols are required.

  WPA3 has protected management frames to protect against this but most IoT cameras probably don’t support WPA3 yet.
