Well, not quite home automation, but SWMBO has decreed that I do something about the garage lighting. Here's what I think might make her happy:
- Remote control of lighting outside the garage, which can be switched on at the back door of the house. I need about 20 Metres of range. I don't want to run new wiring, so remote control is the go. For this purpose, I want to avoid a wi-fi based system, but a supplementary wi-fi based system would be acceptable.
- Remote control of the stair lighting for the first floor. Running new wiring for this application would be extremely intrusive and very expensive, so remote control would also be the best way to go. Again, no wi-fi, but supplementary wi-fi would be a good thing.
- Since I'm doing the above, I thought I might think about running all the house lighting from a similar system.
Turks were useless.
TIA for any tips.
