Experienced home auto enthusiast going back to the beginning with X10, UPB, IR, Zwave, Zigbee, etc
Controller/Hub background includes HAI Omni Pro 2, Ocelot, Homeseer, Hubitat, SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home, etc.
Lots of custom development on the various Phillip fully programmable remotes (for those that remember these). Using JS was able to view my cameras on my media remotes - that was a fun project and before the days of ubiquitous tablets.
Basically, I love this stuff and have since the early days. Wasted on lot of money on experiments and lessons learned, but it’s all been fun and a learning experience
