Even if I wanted to smartify my home using open source and local servers. I wouldn't even know what to make smart.
Lights only ever need to be on when I am in the room, but every door has a switch that only requires my arm to lift a bit. So what is the point in powering electronics for that? Just wastes energy.
Anything with a lock is a no-go anyway.
I rarely close my curtains, and don't see why they should do so automatically in the off chance of it happening.
I don't need to touch my thermostat when I am not at home.
Can anyone tell me actual useful applications that aren't just a gimmick?
We turn on our vacuum robot after we leave because the kids are scared of the sound :0) but they eagerly help press the button on the phone to turn it on
