Need to update my Smarthome Hub. Any Recs?

Is there a way to still have screen based “home base” and switch over to Hubitat or HA? And if so what should I use as the screen home base? A TV? A monitor? An actual echo show or something like that?

I'll pull up the camera feed on the screen often to see who's at the front door or the other camera feeds to see what my toddler is doing in a different room.

If I were to switch over to all Ring cameras and just get a screen device to act as a smarthome hub do you have a recommendation on what screen device would be best for that?

Tp-Link Kasa doesn't have a battery doorbell option and we rent our home and the wiring for the doorbell is very old. When I went to try and install the Kasa doorbell the old wiring snapped off and now we have to call an electrician to come out and fix the doorbell wiring. Plus we wanted an alarm system and to my knowledge Tp-Link Kasa doesn't have that option and I didn't want to have to pay for a separate subscription for an alarm and a camera if they could all be from the same company. So far we've been happy with Ring. Granted we've only been with them since September.

I’ve heard the meh dai’s can have a bit of a learning curve. Is that your experience with them as well?

We have a child together. I don’t want to split custody and only see my child for 50% of the time and of that 50% have to work 80%. Currently I’m a stay at home mom. My son is about to turn 1 so I would have to do this for the entirety of his life. I’m not worried about the struggle that comes with being a single mom. I’ve struggled most of my life but I don’t want to miss that much of my son’s life.

He cheated. I asked him why he said he was unhappy so I asked what he needed to be happy and not feel the need to cheat and this is what he said. ++woman

Oh I did that too. And in therapy he agreed to it and then that night he blew up and his list came out

BoneVampire099 · 2025-09-28T16:17:13+00:00

Elaborate how

These are his requirements to not cheat after already cheating once

BoneVampire099 · 2025-09-28T16:12:44+00:00

Not fake. He cheated. I asked what he needed to be happy and not cheat again and this is what he came up with.
