Hello! My name is Svetlana, I'm a UX/UI designer working on a design for a smart home app. I want to know about the experience of using any smart home application (be it MiHome, Tuya, Home Assistant, etc.) and your own thoughts. If you have a similar experience and want to help, please write to me in private. Your participation will help me make the product better and understand the needs of real users. I'm looking forward to communicating with you! Thank you.
Hi. So when I had my house build I ran a bunch of stuff, one of which being two pairs of speaker wires to each bedroom and to 4 spots around my living room… Over the years I have used them here and there with different success.. But today they sit in my walls just unused.
I converted all the cat6 or 5e (I don’t remember) over to basically eithernet jacks. The cable coaxial well it’s there but now unused. But I was thinking there has got to be some use for two pairs of speaker wires to each room. Can I make them usb plugs? Not sure so looking for ideas.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
Kevin
Talk about your setup...

I’m in awe of some of the awesome integrations you guys have done especially with video. My favorite feature of my HA system is my MarketColor app that lights my office hue according to current market conditions. I ll also mention the time my door ajar notifications saved me from tragedy as we were on our to Europe for three weeks and in the rush to leave my wife left the front door wide open. System paid for itself then and there. My custom mp3 door announcements on little zwave “alarms” in every room are pretty cool. My doorbell lights up every room in the house with dings dongs a little jetsony ding dongy riff and the alexas announce tts. My mailbox also annouces with the classic 90s “you’ve got mail” clip. My shades close at night if the next day is forecast to be hot. My waf is low.

Oh I forgot a critical one, my roof drain. My roof only has one drain and if it clogs water damage is almost certain. I set up a pressure sensor in the drain (water sensor won’t work because its a drain duh) which is hooked up to zwave door switch. If the pressure tube detects a differential its flooding And just about every alarm and lights and notifications go off I need to do something now! My HA system helps me sleep better at night.
