Hey everyone! I just made my pre-purchase of the Almond + and have been devouring all of the information I can about how the device is moving along and the limitations and enhancements that have been made
I bought my house 3 years ago and have wired it with Cat6 and built up my network with a Cisco router and switch. I went to school for Cisco Networking (CCNP) and definitely had to build my house to be a tech dream. So here I am taking the next step and building up home automation and high quality wireless.
Goals:
Administration of all of my home automation devices from anywhere
Fully automated heating/cooling
Fully automated locks
Fully automated garage doors
Nearly fully automated lights
Possible Arduino integration to Z-Wave network (RFID access etc)
Security measures (door/window sensors, cameras)
Alarming (Water/Fire/Break-in)
If anyone has some tips/tricks that would be awesome!
Ben
