Here is another daily occurrence in our business:
Customer 1 who does not understand automation:
"Hey friend, check out my new automated house! When I see my wife pull in, I press this button on this little keyfob and the garage door goes up, then I press this other button and the hall light by the back door turns on for 10 minutes."
Customer 2 who does understand automation:
"Hey friend, check out my new automated house! There is a motion sensor at the end of our 700 foot driveway. When this motion sensor sees motion, it causes our driveway camera to take a picture of the car pulling in. Our Raspberry Pi does License Plate Recognition on that picture, and if it is my wife, it runs this set of commands: Turn on Driveway lighting, Open Garage Door, turn on Hall light, Play the chorus verse of “My Girl” by The Temptations on the SONOS system throughout the house, and sends my wife a sms saying "Welcome home! I've missed you!" All the while, I never even woke up from napping in my Lay-Z-Boy!"
