So I have decided to jump in and try out home automation. What spurred this on you might ask. Well I am rebuilding my A/V rack in the Home Theater and as part of the project I thought I would automate things a bit. Ultimately the idea is to have the room voice automated. Controlling lights and Activities by voice command. Assuming things all work out, I intend to work through the house changing out all the lighting switches to Lutron Caseta and looking at automating other devices.
UPDATED I have purchased the following:
(2) Logitech Harmony Smart Control with hub $140
(1) Lutron Caseta Wireless Smart Bridge $80
(20) Lutron Caseta Wireless Dimmers $1100
(8) Lutron Caseta Wireless Switch $440
(5) Pico's $90
(5) Pico Mounts $35
(7) Echo Dot 2 $305
(1) Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller, WiFi, 8 Zone 2nd Generation $180
Total $2370
So far applications to control would include:
Logitech (AV Equip.)
Lutron (Lighting)
Rachio (Sprinkler)
Alexa
Siri
Other Applications I currently run:
Simplisafe (Security)
GoGoGate2 (Garage)
Foscam (Security Cams)
Blue Iris (Security Cams)
Possible Control Devices would include:
IPhone 7S (manual/voice Siri)
Apple Ipad Mini 4 (manual / voice Siri)
Apple Watch 2 (manual/voice Siri)
Echo Dot 2 (voice Alexa)
