Hello I would like to automate my house about 120 m2, 3 levels. I have an idea and a vision, however I am quite green in smart-home topics, so I would ask for advice and tips on which paths to follow to get the result I dream of and, as I do not know myself, I will describe the functionalists I would like to have and you more knowledgeable forum members will hopefully advise me in this endeavour
.
Then let's get started !
I would like the whole SmartHome to run on an internal home server, all solutions that require constant internet access are out (I mean devices that lose their smart functionality after losing internet). All lighting is to be smart (all bulbs), in addition the lighting effect in the living room would look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qQ9npRY0wM is it possible to achieve such an effect with other bulbs than Philips Hue ? Also I would be interested in the option of voice control (lighting, dimming, changing the colour of the bulbs). I would like to control all the elements of the SmartHome via voice commands (Google assistant or other). In addition, I would like to have a sound system as well as a microphone in each room in order to play music, but also to make calls, e.g. via my phone (Android PocophoneF1) or an application just for this purpose (Google Voice/Skype/VoiP? [preferably cheaper
]). In addition to this, open/close/temperature/humidity sensors (multi-sensor?), air purifiers (Xiaomi most likely), in order to keep the air clean throughout the house, i.e. the upstairs breezes all purifiers on the upstairs turn off. I close the windows they turn on and continue their work. Temperature control (smart thermostat), i.e. I leave the house, the house will check that no one is home will lower the temperature by 2 degrees, it sees(geolocation), (remembers?) that I am coming back will turn up the temperature by 2 degrees. Plus smart locks, motion sensors, a camera maybe 2 and some small media centre server. Oh fridge, oven, SMART washing machine are already purchased, TV (most likely Philips because Ambilight) an open question.
I know I've rambled a bit and I'm writing incoherently, but I think some of you have understood what functionality I mean and now my questions:
Is it possible to assemble something like this?
What hardware and software should I choose?
Which manufacturers do you recommend in order to spend your money wisely? It will be quite a big expense, I know, I would like to get the best price/quality/possibility ratio.
Which solutions do you recommend?
As for implementation, I would like to introduce the smart home in stages as time and money allows ;p
1. purchase the necessary equipment for the entire smart home (hubs, WiFi routers, etc.) such I would call CORE
Then add on further components, i.e. lighting (bulb replacement, HUE etc) audio (speakers, microphones in rooms) and finally the rest i.e. locks, thermostat, motion sensors etc.
And a few words about my skills, I know something about electronics, a little less about programming but I am willing to learn
However, if this is not enough, I also have a programmer and a specialist in networks to help me (he worked in CISCO somewhere, he knows how to switch on/off a router
).
Gentlemen and ladies, is it possible to create something like this?
Best regards and thanks for any help/suggestions
