I have been an OP II user for 10 years with Dlr PC Access program lines of 1250+ and everything except camera's under control. I have also with the addition of Homeseer and the 'Security Plug In' been making the home control much more user friendly by controlling things thru my many Amazon Echo's.
However I just experienced storm voltage surge damage, twice to the OP panel in 2 months, which is causing me to rethink the my whole house automation approach including the DISH television experience which also got zapped.
I am also concerned that the next potential owner of my house will not be able to manage an automation system like I have and this will impose major obstacles & limits on how saleable my house will be.
I feel like I am at a major Y in the road of home automation and cutting the television cord.
Have any of you proceeded me in this decision and are positively excited about your whole home automation and have made it very user friendly??
As I am living without home automation currently while repairs/replacements are underway, I feel that my priorities are as follows:
