I don't think that ROI on home automation is positive, at least not for me. While the automations mentioned are nice for the author, it seems to be too much effort for too little gains.
For me, home automation suppose to free up your time for other activities.
Washing the dishes or clothes are great automation. I would look to other automation like changing the bed sheets, folding clothes, cooking the evening meals, grocery shopping etc. Let's talk again when these items become main stream.
- intpx 7y agoi have adhd and early in the morning and late at night (when my meds have worn off) my brain just doesn't work right. home automation has been a major game-changer for keeping me on schedule and not getting engrossed in something and looking up only to realize i need to be getting up for work in 2 hours. I have a whole bunch of time based and triggered automations for all sorts of things.The time I save is not the extra 14 seconds to shutdown the house, its the time I save keeping on a schedule so I can actually do the things I plan to do rather than getting distracted and snapping out of it at 4AM to find that I have taken apart my dishwasher.
- yitchelle 7y agoThat is great that the ROI is significant higher for you. Can you share the specifics of a couple of your automations? I am genuinely curious.
