So we're a week from getting the keys to our new place and I now have literal boxes of kit ready to go in.
full ring alarm kit w. doorbell and indoor cam plus spotlight cam for back door.
fire tv cube (living room), echo show 8 (office), 2x echo show 5 (bedroom, loft room), 2x echo dot 4 (dining room as a stereo pair), 1x echo dot 3 (spare bedroom), a handful of echo flex for halls and entrances and I'm working on approval for a show 15 in the kitchen.
hue white colour ambience and white ambience for all rooms, hue white for transitional areas. 6x dimmers & 1 smart button for now but probably need a couple more.
some tp-link kasa and tapo led light strips for study and under cabinets in kitchen.
a slew of tp-link slim wifi plugs for non-connected devices.
definitely went ott during black friday but anything i don't use will be returned well within the returns window so not an issue.
need some kind of lighting for back garden, there's an old porch light hanging off the wall out the front i want to replace with a small hue version to pair with the ring doorbell motion sensor.
monday 13th the internet gets turned on (and our sofas get delivered and i need to book an electrician to check out kitchen cooker electrics so busy day) but I have the whole house to myself so will have a fun evening getting the whole lot setup so we have some wow factor when the gf moves in on the thursday (once i'm done unpacking and building new furniture).
will probably get electrician to check out the boiler for smart thermostat installation potential while he's there too. any recommendations for an alexa friendly kit with smart boiler unit and basic thermostat we can easily replace existing one with even if it's just control wires behind there? only looking to be able to turn on and off and control global temp.answered my own question almost immediately. grabbed a tado v3+ wired starter kit to replace existing thermostat. should be all I need but will return if not. £115 currently which seems to be an ok price for it so will roll the dice and see. gf is obsessed with heating being on/off at very specific points in time and being able to control via voice from bed will probably be the star feature for her out of everything.
