Christmas List

Hardware

Hello There,

We are coming to that time of the year again, Christmas. I thought I would start this thread, mainly asking for advice as to what devices I should add to my Christmas list. Then I thought maybe making a Christmas wish list where we can all share our dream devices and hopefully inspiring others. In case you want to add to my list my system is as follows:

Hassbian on a pi3
Echo Dot
Abode Home Security
Sonoff Switches
Foscam Cameras
TP link switch
Hue bulbs
Hue switch
BRUH Automation multisensor

Any ideas are welcome or anything that you might really want for Christmas or just a gift in general.

Cheers

I got a list in my repo that might help you give some crazy ideas… https://github.com/skalavala/smarthome

As for me, I’d like to get a couple of 10 inch tablets and have floorplan on them mounted one on each floor.

Tesla Model S, and integrate it in HASS

Wow want a lot of stuff you have. I have used your Life360 files and they are fantastic.
Thank you.

very nice and neat homepage.

What do you use as presence detector?

hahaha, I wish.

Yeah, I am thinking the tablet route. What I don’t like is you have to have them always on, or turn them on every time. I am also thinking some z wave light switches, the problem is I don’t have a neutral line. So it has to be the more expensive ones. Or more hue switches.

iBeacons is on my list (perhaps this) a NUC to replace the rpi3 (little bit more power and replace my NAS with it, since i don’t store that much locally anymore)
Unifi camera’s & Nvr toolset which you can run yourself like the routers.
Z-wave strips to not show on my door but blend away :wink:

Thank you. I use the combination of OwnTracks and Life 360, so far pretty satisfied. I used to have nmap, but no loner use it…

NUC is on my Christmas list too… but I’m afraid I am on Santa’s Naughty list this year :stuck_out_tongue: I broke our home automation stuff so many times, and woke up family in the middle of the night on number of occasions :slight_smile:
