Hi
Recently I went with HTD wireless whole house audio solution and it was loved by everyone in home.
I started looking more into making it easy to use and came to conclusion that I need to look at comprehensive solution that can easily be used in home with ease.
Here is what I desire...
1. whole house audio control (touch panel) with pandora, amazon. airplay and server support
2. Home security mainly ability to arm and disarm (I just bought simplysafe2 system but I can still return it)
3. garage door operation (I have traditional garage door for now, which could be replaced)
4. Video surveillance ( I have 3x hikvision 1080p camera wired with poe and synology server for now)
5. wireless and/or bluetooth operated door locks (front and back door)
6. potentially at some point sprinkler system and control.
7. fire, carbon monoxide, gas and water leak sensor integration would be great along with thermostat but not required.
I can dedicate ipad for all operation and make it stationary..so should I wait for homekit to develop and see easier integration?
Should I explore irule?
Should I look into alarmgrid and z wave tech with honeywell?
Overall I dont like recurring fees but understand that they may be needed
I like diy solutions
Thanks for all help
