home automation
Posted: 15 Nov 2021, 00:42
so I want to auto automate lights in my home and etc ...
what is the best choice to go with?
so far I have a Geeni - as I thought they have a wide range of products ...
I got bulbs https://www.amazon.com/Geeni-2700-6500K-Dimmable-Compatible-Assistant/dp/B089QRFF9B/
and
LED strip https://www.amazon.com/Geeni-Brighter-Temperature-Compatible-Multicolor/dp/B07TBHBHXJ/
I'm shocked that there is no PC software to control them
they made it so that you can control them ONLY from iPhone or Android App
BUT they can also integrate into Alexa and Google Assistant
I'm thinking maybe there is a way ... or I hope there is some way to make it work via a PC
(and eventually via hot keys ... to bring lights up and down / change color ...)
anyone has any advice on this?
(so far my only alternative to control from a PC - is to run an Android Emulator with the Geeni app on it and use my mouse ... but so far even via Android Studio - Pixel 5a - on Android v10 - says Google Play store says: "Your device isn't compatible with this version" hmmm
)
any advice is much appreciated
thank you
