I have recently began the process of automating my home.
Phases:
- The first task was to install timers for my exterior lights so they turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
- Universal remote, Harmony Hub by Logitech, to control my entertainment system. TV, Receiver, DirecTv, PS4, AppleTv/Fire Tv, PS3, Wii U, and Xbox One
- Wemo bulbs and outlet plugs for lights and lamps
- Wall switch for my ceiling fan
- Garadget to control my garage door
- Amazon Echo Dot!! Purchased
With voice commands I now can turn on the television, control certain lights, open and close my garage door, turn on/off my ceiling fan and many other things.
