I'm getting into the idea that I want a 'smart home' the first investment is a (free) Amazon Echo. I've already tinkered with IFTTT and can see a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, Nest seems tricky, as my fancy new heating system doesn't work with it unless I crack it open and hack it (possibly will, but not just yet) but I've considered Nest Protect and DropCam.
Other things I'm considering are whether to go with Hue bulbs or fixtures vs leaving existing in place and changing the switch. I'm also looking at Wemo smart plugs.
Anyone out here who has a smart home setup already and can share some ideas?
