I am in to home automation using smartphone.
I often see a thick manual on how to configure home automation system and hard to understand programming language. I was hoping to create a easy to use and config system. Many people put off by complex system and cost. I hope more people will use home automation to save energy and enjoy using them.
I have to confess that this has been my impression of Home Automation of yesteryear as well. In this multivendor jungle that Home Automation products are maturing into, I too am hoping that Securifi's Almond+ product is able to blend different devices from multiple vendors into a single homogenous interface.
Price and complicated manuals have kept me out of Home Automation for a long time. Like yourself I have always been interested, but I somehow never got there. Hopefully as a community we can work together as sounding boards for each other, and we can learn to use this interesting technology in new ways. I too want my Home Automation to be no further away than my Android phone, and I want to be able to control my home both locally within my network, and remotely across the Internet.
I already use things like WOL (Wake-On LAN) and RDP/VNC techologies to control my computer environment, but this will be my first effort in the world of Home Automation. I guess we'll soon be learning from each other as a community.
Welcome to the Securifi Forums. I hope you will visit us regularly.
