After receiving an amazon echo dot as a gift and finally taking it out the box to give it a try, I realised I wanted to get into home automation and smarten up my home.
Its addictive though.....once you automate one thing, every non automated thing feels like a missed opportunity.
I started off with a hue lamp in the bedroom. Now every lamp in my house has a hue lamp and every switch replaced with hue dinners.
I then bought a Honeywell evohome heating system which includes seperate valves for each radiator in the house.
Then I bought a wifi ir/rf controller to voice control my TV.
Then I bought more echos to voice control it all from any room.
Now I'm wanting to put a smart/motorised lock on my door, install a video doorbell, make every light work with a presence sensor and put motorised blinds in every window.
Smart home addiction is real. And expensive as he'll.
Do any of you out there use any smart home gadgets?
Anyone else feel like they need to automate all of the things?
