Anyone here using smart home automation?

Control your aircond and lights from smart phone, lightings from smart phone and smoke detector sends signals to smart phone and etc.

Why you need a smart Home?

It cost energy to use. Troublesome. Even just on/off a device.

Because I can always remote access to my house to control when I am not at home

It is not troublesome, if you feel troublesome, your setup is totally wrong

The unit is still running on energy. There is nothing is zero energy. And the energy that run on this controller unit is worth benefit to me?

I don't really need to ON the aircon and light before I reach home. It doesn't save my bill this way. I doesn't need a phone to control everything. When the step to ON a device is too many and take time.

This is really my experience that I try before many many yrs.

Yeah, it's not so common now, wait until it's a trend, then everyone will be using it

Similar to smart phone, they used to say smart phone are useless but then now what? The person who said that is using smart phone doh.gif

Wait till Apple launch smart home, every single home will be using it laugh.gif

I agree with you. I love gadgets but I don't see much use for all these automation. Do I need to turn on/off lights at a certain time? No. Maybe just one or two. Do I need to tell my Aircon to turn on before my arrival? Nope. And then those home automation promo videos always show kettle boil water, make your coffee etc automatically in the morning.....you think who is going to put water in the kettle or coffee into the coffee maker? If got robot Asimo do for you then can lah.

Besides turning on/off a few lights, I don't see much use for it. Sure it's very cool to have but the cost out weighs the benefits.

would you consider if the device cost is RM150 and it can control things from your smartphone?
