Hi all
Im about to start down the HA track and im wondering what Hub to go for?
Initially I want to be able to monitor power use of devices, control switches and lights and see/do all of this remotely when away from home.
Initially i was thinking of a Fibaro Hub or Vera but now I'm thinking of a Aeotec Z Stick (on a laptop/minipc of some kind) with some fibaro/Aeotec controllers and sensors. Then with some software I purchase such as HomeSeer or OpenHab.
How good are these at reporting on power usage?
I'm also interested in what mobile apps people use?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
Nick
