@SMCJB thanks for sharing.

Do you use any proximity type devices, like GPS or wi-fi location, to do something like automatically turn on the lights as you get home?

Can you go into a little more detail on the security system? I'm having difficulty trying to plan a proper security system. I need lots of motion detectors, but also need them to not be set off by my dogs which is a problem. I don't plan on them inside the house, but outside and with clear line of sight of possible entry areas.

The problem with cameras, for me, is that the area is so large I don't think it's likely I can cover all of it. And second, I would need so many cameras to have useful resolution, it would be ridiculous. So the plan is some cameras along the main entry road and front gate, but motion sensors inside the property walls to detect anyone trying to come over the wall.

This sounds reassuring for my situation


JOHN O
I have these lasers around my yard for the past 8 years, made by optex. Acts as an invisible fence. They used to be hooked to my alarm panel. They are fantastic! I never get false alarms due to fog, high winds, falling leaves or heavy rain. My yard is 150 foot by 220 foot. I recently connected them to Remotec Z-Wave ZFM-80 - 15 Amp Dry Contact Module. During the day Sonos tells me which zone goes off and I get a text. Really nice driveway alert. At night when I don't expect deliveries or meter readers I have Sonos dog bark and the appropriate light turn on outside.

I think laser triggered sensors are better than motion alarms for certain key areas in my situation.

Finally received my container with the goodies on it, just in time for Christmas.

First thing I did was setup Amazon Echo (Alexa) as that was painless, took 5 minutes tops. They did a great job on this device.

I plan to setup the Phillips Hue lights next, since that is painless as well.

@Blash any ideas how I can create an IFTTT rule so that when I wake up on the 1st, Alexa reminds me to xyz? I was hoping IFTTT could detect when I'm up by looking at my cell phone activity (or screen on after xx am)

@Blash I'm trying to figure out how to save some podcasts or stations from tunein to a favorites or a playlist, for example CNBC fast money and Bloomberg radio.

Right now I have to either memorize the exact name or use the app to browse to it
