Hello, I am trying to bring my wife in the smart home era and get everything to communicate together.
I have the current Smart devices
Tp-Link Tapo wall switches for three lights in the basement
Figidaire Window A/C
Media Windows AC
Hamiliton Beach Alexa Enabled Coffee Maker
Three Alexa Dot’s
Schlage Encode Lock
Eufy Doorbell Camera
GeeniFloodlight with Camera
ADT alarm system (under contract) with Motion Detectors indoors
Two Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus devices
What I want to accomplish is
A) When I go into the basement have my lights turn on. After I leave the basement have it delay 5-10 minutes in case I am returning back to the basement then turn off the lights
B) Add a transmitter to the collar of our cats so we can tell what room they are in so we know if they were accidently closed in a room
C) If I arrive home have the front door unlock itself if I get to the door within 5 minutes of pulling up to the house. My car does have it’s own WiFI access point so I could detect the new network being available possibly.
Future desires
Right now the video from the cameras are saved to a SD card and to view it you need to use the app from each company. I would like to store locally video that only has people and allow my wife to use one program to view both cameras
