Just been reading about this. Not really interested in the music capabilities as I am still a hifi separates man and, to be frank, not interested in gimmicky functionality, but what would be good would be automated blinds (even better if triggered by a temperature rise within the room); and lights that can be programmed to come on and off randomly to simulate someone at home.
A couple of years ago I bought one LIFX bulb to experiment with but ended up just using it to amuse my daugh
What amazes me about home automation, especially on this site, is that will all the programmers on here, and a few hardware experts, they have not designed an open source one that can have simple modules that plug in.
