DINING ROOM

The kitchen is one of the highest energy usage areas in the home, and required the most monitoring devices and also a central control panel to monitor and control the energy usage.

Flic button 

This flic button has been configured to enable and disable the Conservatory Gym equipment.

TP-Link Deco M5 Mesh WiFi Extender

To support the large amount of WiFi enabled devices around the house and to extend the WiFi signal to where it is needed, I added an extender to this location to ensure a strong signal is available in this area.

Echo Dot – 2nd Gen

I added this echo dot to the kitchen as the echo flex speaker is quite small and tinny. This offers a warmer sound and is much louder which is good as it can be noisy in the kitchen sometimes.

Smartbot Temperature & Humidity Sensor

As winter approached it was important to monitor the homes temperature and humidity to reveal if there were any issues with heat escaping or high humidity causing damp and mould.
