Any tips for a smart room?

What is a smart room?

A smart room is a room controlled by your phone or smart speaker.

Throw in an Alexa, or a Google Home.
To ask what’s on your daily planning on how the weather is going to be, traffic jams, etc.
Ikea, I believe, sells automatic curtain openers (to be (voice) controlled by either of the smart Google/Amazon thingies).
Light bulbs (with 16 million colors, and dimmer function), a robot hoover, an audio solution (like Sonos, are any of the dozens of other brands), and a smart TV.
And outside a Tesla (or any one of the other E-car brands).
A tablet, a phone, a smart watch.
Done.

What do you want your smart room to do? There are more devices to automate things at the house-level.

At my house we have: smart light switches for scheduled inside/outside lighting, smart outlets for some plug in devices, video doorbell (good for screening for door-to-door salesmen), and wireless cameras. Kind of boring – I only re-adjust them when we go on vacation. No smart thermostat since it would do the same thing as my current thermostat, but cost 3x as much.

My wife got an Alexa for her home office. She asks it for weather and music every day. It has access to our doorbell and cameras, in case she want to see who is at our front door.

If it’s just cleaning, maybe a Roomba is all you need. Especially true if you have a dog or cat that sheds a lot.

Surround Sound amp with at least 100 watts per channel.

They have Smart Curtain opening devices now- a little machine you attach to your curtain rod and you tell your phone to open and close your window curtains for you.

I would definately use it for a TV/Home theater system. Also put in a security system. My friend has one with alexa and can see everything coming in from his phone. It’s pretty nice.

Now that is what I’m definitely going to try @nightwolf5.
