Hey Guys,
Im just starting out with my first home automation project and am really looking forward to playing with some new toys, but im troubled by a few questions that I could really use some help with. So far I know what I want to use but you maybe be able to suggest something better. Ive decided on using Vera Lite and have planned to control 2 sets of lights, my Aircon (by IR), 2 electric window shutters and a sensor. The questions I have are:
-
Will Vera Lite work with double in wall switches since they require “MultiChannel functionality”. This way I can turn on/off 2 circuits, or should I just use 2 single channel switches like the “Aeon Labs In Wall Smart Energy Switch” ?
-
Can I use an IR device with Vera Lite (such as a ZXT-120 or SQBlaster) to be able to turn my A/C on and off (also AV equipment later on).
-
What would I use to control roller shutters?
-
Can I use a sensor like the Aeon Labs Multisensor to read room temperature or movement and then create rules for them?
Cheers,
Nathan
