They seem like the kind of technology I could have developed or even bought off the shelf in 1980. I was talking to one guy who says the security sensors to detect footfall were better decades ago.
Sure they aren't cutting edge but they work and add a minor amount of value/security at home for little cost. I do some hobby things on the side (ads-b tracking etc) but other family members get the most value from the simple IoT functionality.
All of your ideas would be great but the technology isn't affordable it mature enough for consumers currently.

Sure, I'm not really knocking what you're doing, it's just that there's a point at which you start to think "Wait, I've heard this before". Perhaps you become a cynic. I think it was the multicoloured light bulbs for the low low price of 200 dollars 99 cents for a pack of three that did me in. https://imgflip.com/i/1fqj14 https://imgflip.com/i/1fqj14 > All of your ideas would be great but the technology isn't affordable it mature enough for consumers currently. I don't really understand why it has to be so expensive. It's so expensive it's easier to roll your own magic mirror or whatever. I know the raw ingredients like sensors are cheaper than ever.
- knz 10y agoI don't disagree re the Hue bulb. Personally I went for the GE link ($10-15 on sale for a z-wave LED bulb).
- dangrossman 10y agoThose are actually ZigBee, not Z-wave.
