What are you guys running in regards to home automation? Trying decide do I piece together, don't want to spend a ton
1.) WiFi light switches, we do not have streetlights so can be very dark pulling up to house, I'd rather be able to flip the lights on rather than motion sensors or timers. It would also be convenient to be able to turn outside lights on from anywhere in the house, like the backyard flood lights while in my bedroom. Or turn lights on & off while away.
2.) WiFi thermostats, I have 2 old school dial thermostats for gas baseboard water heat, would be nice to be able to turn it down from anywhere if I go away and forget to
3.) Camera's to supplement security system while away, I had a false alarm a while back, motion sensor tripped but with only 1 camera couldn't tell if something was happening or not. Would kind of like dvr too
Currently have Comcast Xfinity security setup with 1 camera
