This looks interesting... No pricing listed, but I'm guessing it will be between $200 to $400. My main issue with "smart" devices is the price vs the longevity.
(Cameras + bulbs + switches + doors + sensors) * how many rooms you have = this automated home thing get's expensive really fast.
And then you end up with a not so smart home. Not to mention the struggle that's to figure out what devices talks to what system and the many apps... everyone want's to make their own app, and then you need a middleman app to talk to other apps. All of this work, and in 5 years you will probably need to replace everything. Just thinking about it, a smart home today will probably devalue the price of your home in 10 years.
