paiseh, im no sifu. only started my smart home journey late last year....
but if use xiaomi, its rather simple. seriously if i can understand it, anybody can.

as for the question of voice control - Homekit is ready now. Just need to get the new Aqara gateway
Alexa is supposed to be available too but i think not ready yet
Google Home - no news....

Unfortunately for me, I dont care for Homekit at the moment even though my phone, tablet and computer are Apple  sweat.gif
Reason being Apple's smart speaker is too expensive.

Anyway most of my stuff are running automatically by themselves. No need to touch the switches or to voice control it to do something. Its cool to have but not necessary

can you share your stuff that running automatically, I would like to know and Amy be can follow your setup

Yes, it can be done
But please note you won't be able to restore back to original firmware after flashing custom one. So be sure to setup mqtt server and others to control your sonoff devices.

can you explain more on how to setup mqtt server

The thing with my automation is it only suits me. My habits and my home is unique. I dun see how that can help you.
Nevertheless I can tell you what I do with mine.

1. I set my front porch lights to come on at certain time on a daily routine.
2. When I open my front door, the door sensor will trigger certain lights to come on like my living room lights and dining, etc.
3. I use motion sensors to turn on some lights and off after a certain period of time
4. I set one switch at my front door and another switch at my bedroom door to turn off all lights in the house when I go out or go to bed. This is the only time I need to touch the physical switch
5. I got water leak sensors to warn me of any leaks or rain water had enter my bedroom windows
6. I got smoke alarms as well. If it detect smoke, it will turn on all the lights. Sound the alarm of course
7. I got temperature and humidity sensors to warn me say my camera box drops below a certain RH
8. When someone rings the doorbell, it will send me a notification to my phone. I can use the ip camera to see who it is.
9. All the door/ window sensors and motion sensors can trigger an alarm if I armed it before leaving the house
10. My bedroom door sensor will turn on certain lights when it’s open at certain time. This way I dun have to walk into a dark living room.
11. I placed some window sensors on some windows to sound a chime and light up the gateway if they are open.
12. I set my air filter to turn on if it detects a reading of over 50 and off when it reduces to 15

Here are my Aqara stuff. Some not install yet though

Great stuff! thumbsup.gif
I do agree that different people have different routines and automations that suits them.
That's why we must tailored the automations to us and the people living in the same house.
Focusing on what brand or can it be use by Alexa/GH are just minor questions.

Yeah it works better if you are a creature of habit. Then you can try to reduce all the repetitive tasks with automation

Home automation still out of touch for normal people. You still need rocket science people to install it. dry.gif
