Voice input and playing [Whole House Music](http://www.vmwareinfo.com/2017/08/multi-room-audio-for-echo-its-finally.html) are where Echoes excel!

Mobile devices are a critical part of my Home Automation. They establish presence in the house and are the basis for many automations. Home? Turn on the lights. Leave? Turn them all off kind of thing. We use [NMAP](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/tree/master/config/device_tracker) for presence detection.

-This group of devices is basically for additional presence control. The Nest thermostats and Protects basically run themselves. The thermostat 'away' mode triggers my away scripts which turn items off. The Protects are SOLID [smoke detectors](http://www.vmwareinfo.com/2017/06/psa-check-out-your-smoke-detectors-once.html). They really came in handy during [Irma](http://www.vmwareinfo.com/2017/09/smart-home-lessons-from-hurricane-irma.html). The SleepIQ bed adds to my presence detection. It will notify HA if either side of the bed is occupied. More controls are coming but I use this extensively. The WiThings scale also triggers morning and goodnight routines depending on when I step on it during the day.

The great outdoors can be automated too! Mainly lights but also the sprinkler system and water supply. The Phyn leak detector was announced in CES. It looks for abnormal flows and if senses them, alerts me and shuts water main. The GE Outlets are hooked up to my 12v transformers allowing me to turn the landscaping lights on and off. The LED strips are DIY and the recipe is in the next section.
