Adam's home

Zooz's 500-series Z-Wave Plus paddle switch for wired on/off control of lights, with direct 3-way and 4-way wiring and a required neutral wire. Now discontinued and replaced by the 800-series ZEN71.

Z-Wave deadbolt on the front door. Pairs with the SmartThings hub for codes and lock-state automations.

Front-door video doorbell. Cloud-leaning. Pairs with the Ring app and Alexa.

Living room voice control. Plays into the broader Google Home ecosystem.

Wall-mounted projector on the second-floor entry wall. Doubles as the screen surface.

Streaming on the living-room projector. The Plex client lives here.

Wired indoor camera. Local RTSP if you want it; cloud if you do not configure it.

Spotlight cam on the garage. Motion light plus camera.

Wi-Fi sprinkler controller in the garage. Skips watering based on local weather. Cloud-leaning.

Add-on that lets Adam open and close the garage from the phone. Pre-dates the MyQ lockdown.

Variable-speed pool pump. Quiet, energy-sipping, runs the Trouble Free Pool turnover schedule.

Battery and solar panel camera in the backyard. Wire-free placement.

Whole-home battery. Pairs with solar and the grid. Adam runs two for ~27 kWh of usable storage.

Whole-home heat pump, relocated from garage to attic. All-electric house, no gas line.
