Maybe Home Automation isn't the right term, but I've been looking at trying to do some "automation".
What I would like to do is be able to control a few key lights via WiFi or other route....for example, if the wife is coming home and it's dark out, her be able to turn on the porch light before she gets home or before she gets out of the car, or if she is home alone, be able to control the lights from her phone.
I can use On.Here via our Google WiFi or can possibly use our alarm system app, however connecting anything requires me having to have them add it.
I'm not against adding a Google Home to have it voice controllable but that's not a need.
