something like a Hubitat is well worth the small cost and can easily be set up with minimal tinkering but can really expand what smart tech can be used and what it can do.

hubitat is ok but invariably you're going to end up coding something that looks like this:





this was a script i set up to start playing some arcade ambient sounds from 1982 (you can pick a year and hear game sounds from that year) when i walked into my arcade and change the lighting.

i probably spent more than a week figuring out the proper code to play a local mp3 served via my plex server on my sonos speaker.

hubitat is great when it works, unfortunately this old man lacks the time and energy to keep everything going with all the rulemachine updates, etc etc etc. anything that works now probably won't at some point.
