last sentinel
I am sure this has been asked but I am not seeing a post for it.
tl;dr Fresh home looking for recommendations on devices overall 😄 My goal is not to have to pay multiple subscriptions though ie nest and ring subscriptions
I just bought a second home and am looking to do a much better job than I did the first time lol. First time I locked myself into Google Ecosystem and Phillips Hue this time I want to go with Home Assistant. So starting fresh I have a Home Assistant Yellow all setup and my end goal is to have wall mounted tablets with Home Assistant in each room able to answer doorbell and control the house. I am looking at the following:
- Flair to balance heat in the home (last house my office where i wfh was always 10 degrees hotter than rest of house)
- PoE Cameras
- Alarm System (that can be check on remotely)
- Smart Switches - I am thinking Lutron switches as in my first house they just worked flawlessly but unsure how they work with HA
- Color changing bulbs - I loved my phillips hue bulbs but absolutely abhored their crap bridges. Ideally I want to be able to control them with a smart switch on the wall (lutron) and change colors via voice. I also did not like the phillips hue wireless controllers
- Smart Thermostat - I have 2 thermostats in my house
- Smart Locks - Currently have a Yale lock (only smart device in home)
- Smart smoke/co detectors - I like ones without batteries I have to replace as some of the ceilings are vaulted. I used Nest protect before but I heard they are no longer supporting them and they have subpar inclusion with Home Assistant
- Smart Electric panel if anyone has a recommendation on one that works. A buddy had one and it was useful when he travelled he could kick things off and it was great when we looked for a draw in his house (this is a nice to have eventually)
- Smart water shut
