I have been in the technology field for decades and not only passionate about technology from a business standpoint but enjoy it at home. My latest sandbox experiment is in the area of home automation. I have designed and implemented an environment with voice activated automation to control many aspects of everyday life. Some of the functions are:
10 Amazon Alexa devices for voice control, all the following items are voice controlled:
14 Belkin Wemo switches and plugs growing to 37 around the holidays for holiday lighting
Nest thermostats and Smoke/CO Alarms
Sonos speakers in multiple rooms
A Roomba vacuum system
Outdoor cameras driven by a Power Over Ethernet set of switches
Wall mounted iPad mini for monitoring and non-voice control, mounted with a Vidabox solution
