Smart Home

[Angushjalmur]

OP, my question is this: are you doing it for the novelty, or do you believe that going through the trouble of setting it all up will make things easier? You still have to get up to put things in the oven, and the TV comes with a remote.

What do you do if someone hacks your home?

I'm buying all this shit for Smart Home Automation and I'm just piecing it all together like an amateur probably.

Anyone been through this or have any cool ideas on the best way to set it up? There are a bunch of different ways to integrate this stuff and I'm just lookin' for feedback or suggestions.

Bought the following -

Philips Hue with Hub and a shit load of bulbs/blooms
WeMo and TP-Link SmartPlugs
Amazon Echo and several Dots for around the house
Harmony Remote with Hub for Alexa voice control over entertainment center
Several Sonos speakers for around the apartment
Thinking about getting some of the light switches?

I was reading that I might benefit from something like Samsung Smart Things to make controlling all the devices and assigning them to different groups/tasks easier or more natural.

Any thoughts?

You're fat and lazy
