   * thanks to the DSS's web-interface, the whole bus system can be programmed very easily and it takes almost no technical knowledge to do so. this means, you are independant of electricians once the system is installed and you can easily re-program scenes, move devices to other rooms etc.
   * despite the fact, that DS has these api's, uses a built-in web-server and connects to all kinds of devices via TCP/IP it is still very robust. That's due to the fact, that the DSS is not actually required for the pure digitalSTROM components to work together. This means, that even if your DSS crashes (which in my case almost never happened, and if it did it was usually me screwing around in the lower levels of the DSS, where you aren't supposed to change stuff ;)) or if your network fails, your wifi acts up or anything computer related happens, your light switches will still turn your light on and off! you lose all the extra features but at least you and more importantly your wife are not sitting in the dark while you debug what happened ;)
-  * while DS isn't as cheap as some wifi-based solutions like [[sonoff] and firends, it is relatively cheap compared to other professional systems like KNX, even though it provides a very similar stability and can be nicely integrated.

   * DS is owned by Hager, a large manufacturer of electrical hardware in europe. So it can be expected that DS will be around for some time as it already has made it into the market.
