[quote=Anonymous]We built our house a few years ago and added a ton of smart features. There’s basically two ways to do it: hire one company to put in a master system that controls everything (Control4, etc) or use a bunch of off the shelf products that can maybe work together, or you use several different apps to control each aspect, and also connect it to HomeKit, Alexa or GoogleHome for one app control. The whole home solutions like Control4 require a specialized contractor that will cost tens of thousands. And they’ll have the system locked down if you want to make any programming changes, they have to do it. Instead, we did it separately. Lutron Caseta (you can also do RA3 which is slightly better but needs a dealer) for lighting, Sonos for built in speakers, a smart garage door opener, August locks, Lutron smart shades, ModernForms ceiling fans, and Ring cameras. Basically we can control it all seamlessly from HomeKit and add scenes, automation, etc. we love it. [/quote]
