Hi.
Just wondering if anyone else here is in to home automation. End of last year i installed hass.io (home assistant) on a raspberry pi. I use it to control my lights, tv, stereo, heat pump using a web interface but also via voice commands (Google home) and via automation scripts (eg. Turn on hallway light at night if motion in hallway). Send notification if movement inside the house when the wife and i are not home (phone gps and wifi presence detection).
I use a combination of zigbee (xiaomi) and mqtt (sonoff and nodemcu/esp8266).
I haven't integrated it into the htpc yet. Stuff like dim lights when movie starts, brighten them when movie is paused or finishes, etc.
