  • Having recently designed and installed a fairly major Home Automation System at TH-camr @Y14nny's new house, we use that to demonstrate the set up, planning, best practices, the process, installation and the benefits of a Smart Home.
    Home automation gives you the ability to control every electronic device in your home at the touch of a button... or voice command. We look at everything from cabling to touch panel dashboards to features like simulated occupancy and some real life scenarios.

      @@SupremeRuleroftheWorld That's BS. Control4 runs completely locally, and requires no cloud subscription unless you want to control the home from somewhere remote, or interface with cloud services like Alexa. In the case that you want remote access, there is a very reasonably priced monthly subscription, but if you're only doing local, no additional monthly costs.

What is interesting is I got my wires crossed (no pun intended) thinking that the lights could also be connected with the same network cable but seeing your video they are on a different line/channel lol. This has given me a few more ideas now. What I need to do is a bit more thinking what I want to do and how to program it. Haven't decided what system to use - Control4 or something else - but I'm on my journey on learning home automation.
