Wish I had time for this Jetsons level business but I don't even have time to put together a Pi retro gaming rig or upgrade my PS3 to an SSD, I'd have no chance getting anything like this done. I've heard former colleagues talking about Home Automation and its a heavy investment but once its working its apparently superb and from then on you just tinker and add new bits.

Same mate, I am sitting to do bits on sofa watching TV or waiting for kids to finish shower so it is a very slow process. But got to try.
PI Retro gaming seems easier with the 4 apparently it should be very easy to setup now and not a lot of time.

bear:
I do not dare :) but I have lights and car heater outlet managed by m home wifi (openwrt) and an imou cue camera.

Serious:
My concern with this is a lot of companies are doing this sort of thing without proper security checking. There have been multiple issues publicised, especially with children's toys.

XEntity:
I'm not using HA, but using Hubitat, which is similar but not Open Source (Reason is I moved from SmartThings and run loads of custom code and was the easiest non cloud solution to migrate from.

If I'm ever forced off Hubitat or it doesn't meet my needs then I'll definitely move to HA, and I can unplug the dongles from Hubitat and use them in HA..

If you need any general home automation advice, I'm happy to answer any questions where I can.
