If you like tinkering, look into Zigbee2mqtt (=software). It supports loads of Zigbee devices so you can mix various devices together. Everything you need to do is pretty well explained.
IMO home automation is currently anything but smart. It's fun if you like to tinker with things. That'll allow you to get great results. It's still too cumbersome though for non technical family members. Everything needs to be made easier by several factors.
- darkwater 7y agoWhy? Did ever normal people install electric equipment (wires, fusibles, switches etc) in their homes? The biggest problem here is that most electricians are not keeping up with the tech and, as always, tech is atill young and moving too fast. But in most cases you shouldn't worry about zigbee, z-wave, mqtt etc, you should just tell the electrician what you want to achieve, the basic workflow and that's it. Then you could customize it if you are a bit skilled/interested, or call them again (paying a fee).
