Smart Home systems, which one?

[Mark300zx]

I have a few smart items but can see the day when you may have to commit to one system, which manufacturer is coming out as the front runner?

No one is leading.

The way we focus it is look at best-of-breed for the different areas and they stitch it together with an over-all cotrol system.

Be that top-end, voice contolled or low-end Smart remotes.

Are you talking DIY or are your talking professional install.

There's so many factors to consider. Are you including AV as well?

[Mark300zx]

Diy and including AV.

[VEX]

Either market, I still stand my proposal.

Bit of a broad question - what are you look at automating?

There are various manufacturers who are good at one area of smart home automation (e.g. Philips Hue for Lighting, Sonos for Audio) but you'd probably need something to orchestrate all of the different ecosystems.

Have a look at this video series from the TheVerge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L68XIics5c

It's mildly patronising, but it does also show what is done when you use the best of the best of everything, but also how everything doesn't quite all fit together.
