I'm falling into the rabbit hole that is Home Automation. Nothing serious too serious yet but a little bit of stuff.
Amazon Echo Dots for Alexa Voice controls
Samsung Smartthings Hubs for a mesh network and device control
10 Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Mini Plugs
I have just programmed some basic lighting scenes around the house and set up voice control for my Fire Sticks.
I also have an Ecobee thermostat with sensors for each bedroom upstairs.
I am looking at setting up some dedicated hardware to run Home Assistant because I want to do some more advanced things with motion sensors, as well as tie in devices that won't talk to either Smartthings or Alexa (my damn garage door!).
Is anyone else playing with home automation?
