In order to do that I feel that I need to make a checklist of sorts in order to later help me organize everything just right. This also substitutes as both a reminder and also a to-do list.
1.) Overall Project:
- Intertwine household electronics with SmartThings via sensors and Z-Wave technology
- Code Denise to interact with those electronic devices
- Code Denise to control Nest Smart Thermometer so temperature is remotely changeable
- Setup household intercom/microphone system to speak to Denise with voice commands
- Code Denise to perform those voice commands
- Setup security system (including cameras and motion)
- Code security system to Denise and enable mobile remote viewing into home through video
- Setup mobile phone integration to have Denise screen calls or send text messages
- Setup projection and Kinect system to display Denise onto the wall
- Acquire smart door locks
- Install/Setup/Code Denise to work with smart locks
Looking at this list it in no way justifies the massive amount of time and energy that I am going to have to commit to make this a reality. The list seems short, but I know just how much work it is going to be for me. I think the main thing will be coding Denise to do all these things will take the most time, especially if I am creating that code from scratch. The codes and commands need to be individually tested and that will also take time. Eventually I want to replace every outlet in my home to a Z-Wave input/output, that way literally anything plugged in can be controlled by Denise. I will have this project already started by the time that happens. I plan on buying some gradually to where eventually all plugs will be Z-Wave technology. Now THAT would be awesome.
I got a lot of work ahead of me.
