Hi All,
Currently I am using Hass.io to automate the usual lights etc. and i manage it all through the IOS app and Web UI.
I am looking to start moving towards a fully automated setup for the family. Below are what I am looking to do:
- Voice control (turn on the lights, aircon etc.)
- Voice feedback & notifications (Alarms, reminders)
- House state monitoring (Temps in rooms, presence in rooms, Open doors and windows) along with voice feedback and push notifications if say a window is opened when it shouldn’t be (no one at home, middle of the night. etc).
- If possible, control based on who is speaking (EG: "Turn on my lights "results in the bedroom lights for the person speaking being turned on)
- Central control point (Tablet or R-PI with touch screen) showing the Web UI.
Some notes, we are an apple device household (Macs, IPhones, Apple TV, and IPads), so it would be nice to keep any new devices to the Apple range but I would happily move out of the apple family if I can get better ease of use for the wife and kids and the config and maintenance is hassle free.
What devices should I be looking at that to cover these various asks? I am a technical person so am very comfortable doing the config in yaml, git pulls, flashing firmware, etc. but I would prefer more plug and play with supported integrations in Hass.io.
Any advice or feedback based on experience would be great.
