On Android I tried openremote a while back and created a custom remote app with an awesome design and actual photos from my house, but after I moved to a new place I was feeling lazy to start over again and set up a new remote. I also have other lights around the house that come on 20min before sundown so my dogs aren't scared if we're not home.

If I want to play video games, I say 'Alexa, turn the PS4 on' and all the inputs change to the Playstation. Whenever I pause the movie, the lights brighten to 30% (if they were off previously) and turn off once I resume.

When I fire up cinemavision (creates a movie theater experience with trivia slides and trailers on kodi) the lights dim to 30% and before the movie starts they turn off. Then I say 'Alexa, turn the media center on', the receiver and the projector turn on and switch to the right inputs.

It's glorious.Īs I'm walking down the steps into the basement I shout 'Alexa turn the basement lights on' and the lights come on before I get to the bottom of the steps.

I also set up an amazon echo with my ha bridge container so I can issue voice commands for all the automated devices. Plugins for harmony, kodi, advanced programming etc. I also have a couple of zwave thermostats that are just awesome.īest thing about the vera is that the community is amazing and there are a ton of plug-ins written by the community devs. I paired that with a bunch of cheap ge zwave light switches (lowe's carries them cheap and you can use the coupons easily found online) I now use a vera lite that I bought for $99 a couple of years ago. I was constantly tinkering to get it to work right. I used to use x10 years ago and I was never happy with the reliability. Micasa Verde has just recently released the Vera edge which supports almost all of the automation protocols. I would love to hear from other users who are using this technology and what apps or real world things you can do with it. Will other wifi only devices indeed work with their app? Or will other apps work with Dlink's wifi only products? Is this a wifi protocol or language something that all these devices to interact with each other? D-Link developed a comprehensive app that connects our smart plugs, motion sensors, cameras.' 'Our products are Wi-Fi based so they work with any home automation solution products that don't require a hub. Will these Dockers work with non-Ubiquiti products like the ones from DLink? Even though I bought the NVR, will the UniFi Video socker act as an NVR within my unRAID? What is this whole UniFi thing? I know there are Dockers. Possibly send phone alerts when I go away and motion detectors are triggered. For home automation, I want to use some things like if there is motion detection, it will turn on some lights, send my phone a notification if camera detects movement, view camera feed remotely. I believe hubs are required when one uses Zwave or zigbee protocols. From what I understand, all of these work WITHOUT a hub over wifi.

I have already ordered all from from DLink, a wifi 180 degree camera, a wifi outlet, a wifi motion detector and their basic NVR (network video recorder. I have been trying to learn about it but the info is all over the place. I am a complete newbie when it comes to Home Automation.
