We don’t want to sound pretentious, but a Ring door bell and Sonos speakers aren’t what we’re talking about when we say “home automation”. We’re talking about true home automation where the user can control most systems in the home from a central platform (phone app, remote, touch screen etc) capable of making adjustments to home systems based on feedback like time of day, astronomic timing, security system status and can do like turn off and on TVs and lights, close shades, turn down thermostat, etc.
