Skydrop. It's a sprinkler time clock that monitors your forecast through wifi and adjusts your watering based on weather, type of zone, soil, sprinkler type, slope, shade, and more. You get an app for phone or tablet. It changes the duration and days of the week for each zone individually and you can slide that duration up or down manually if you want a bit more or less.
It's time to get with the times I guess.... $300 for timer & expander. Freeze / rain sensor was like $50. |

I've got an app connected to a camera facing my door. The camera is connected to my desktop which has a facial recognition program in it. If the program detects an unknown face (you create a "friendly face" list), it will search all social media within 50 Sq miles (more or less... you set the radius) until it finds a possible match (sometimes this is 3 or 4 people). When it does, it stores the info so I can view it later. I learn nearly every salesman/broken down car person/ or random knockers name, age and city before they leave my porch. This is how I learned the guy 6 houses down is my UPS driver. Eventually if the person shows up regularly, such as the neighbor UPS driver, it'll prompt me asking if I want to add them to my friendly face list.

Z wave protocol moisture sensors near all potential water leak points (under sinks, near water softener, near hour water heater, etc). They communicate remotely to my server and will identify a leak immediately. At that point, the server pushes out a signal on the same z wave network to toggle the electronic valve on my incoming domestic water to the house, shutting it off instantly. It also will send me and the wife a text, and if it's during certain night time hours, will flash the lights in our bedroom to wake us up (using z wave switches).
I implemented this system after an under counter water filtration system exploded in the middle of the night and flooded the whole downstairs up to about 3". 4 months of demo and construction later with a 6 month old baby in the house, no functioning kitchen to speak of, and out $1k deductible- I vowed never again. |

I recently installed KODI on an Amazon FireTV Stick and have added apps to it. I can watch pretty much any movie or show ever, and real time cable/paid movie channels... for free. Yeah, I canceled my cable and netflix. Best $40 I have ever spent.

View Quote Yet you don't say what the name of the app is. T His is like the people who post a picture of a knife or flashlight and then no model or manufacture. You are no help and contribute nothing. |

I have redneck gadgets! Goats keep the weeds & vines off the fence, keep trees trimmed below 4 feet, provide milk and if the SHTF, they are a very tasty substitution for beef. The geese provide eggs & weed control.

A garage door monitor. It tells you if the garage door is open or closed. It's very nice, especially if you can't see your garage door from your house.

Iris home automation system from Lowes, I had a break in at my house last month and wanted something right away, so I looked online and found the Iris monitered system from Lowes, When i went to the store to buy it, I ended up with the complete home smart system, I now can control my a/c, lights, door locks, from anywhere in the world both through my phone and at any computer. I also have a security system with cameras, motion sensors, etc...that i can access anywhere.
I will be adding on the garage door opener, water leak moniters, and a couple other things soon, as it is compatible with all z-wave devices. Very easy to install everything, I had it up and running everything in about 3 hours. |
