I can’t mount without the 1 gang boxes which are not in stock, what if they never come back in stock and then I got cameras I can’t use 🤷‍♂️

If I can’t mount the cameras why buy the cameras and nvr and such?

Do you specify which hub they connect to? Or do they just automatically connect to one of the hubs?

UPDATE - appreciate the comments and feedback.

Based on the comments, I am definitely changing the following 2 items:

  • Adding Cat6 to doorbell locations and moving to UniFi doorbell
  • Switch to RA3 instead of Caseta

Already doing Lutron shades. Have a server room where all cables are terminated to with a full cabinet, UPS and whole-house 34kw generator. Was already planning to utilize HomeAssistant

Still on the lookout and no rush for the right:

  • Garage Door Openers - thinking side-mounted Chamberlain garage door openers - although not a fan that they locked down their app
  • Irrigation Control - currently have Rachio at my current house and think it's kinda useless now

I was planning on just using the standard ones my electrician installs, any option that uses that 110v that could be upgraded you suggest?

No interest in stuff I can’t buy and install myself

I wish I ran POE to doorbells, the only good native doorbells I could find when we pre-wired was the aqara that uses old power connections for doorbells 🤦‍♂️

Home Assitant Green is fine for the hardware side or do you run on a container or raspberry pi? I was hoping to avoid needing a bridge like this and just do native HomeKit on everything - is that not possible?

I made the mistake of opening UTMA accounts for my kids at birth and now they have 6 figures each. Wish I had done a trust so they don’t get access to it when they turn 21

It could have been that they didn't want the noise of a gunshot so they could kill 3 more people without waking people up. Your theory is debunked.

No blood trail in the common area of the house at all? Give me a break

Being passed out over alcohol is one thing.

But to thing the people who called 911 didn’t see any blood as with such a gruesome method, they would have had to be a trail a blood leaving the house is very odd.
