There’s a lot of competitions now... hard to decide which one to choose. Hope I am on the right direction with Almond. I like it because it has a router already which is not bad for what I need so I am sticking with it... not planning to buy other automation hub like smart things or vera.

I agree, also, so far the costs seem better with Almond then the Nest and I am pretty vested, obviously. Also, as a beta tester, I feel like I have the opportunity to help guide the future of the Almond system towards a more ideal system.
Nest seems highly priced, no information on future sensors, other brands, online/offline/local connections etc etc.
Ring seems to have a solid price point but again no information on other sensors and network connections. Also, I have heard of a number of reliability issues with the Ring doorbells, which would make me wary.
