CAD has a home automation thread on here that discusses them extensively. I currently have 6 of them in my house all controlled by the hub. I've also got my nest, schlage deadbolt, and 4 dropcams. There can be some growing pains getting it all to pair initially but WINK gave me great tech support over the phone.

Wemo is a simple solution. They have a starter kit for 100 bucks that has the control box and two LED bulbs and additional bulbs are 30 each. Good lights and you can dim them from your iPhone too.

Question about wifi light bulbs - do you have to leave the light switch on, and can only control the lights through the Wink app?

I've set up a Liftmaster/Chamberlain myq system. There are product codes for Liftmaster and Chamberlain, but they are the same product. I have:

Liftmaster 828LM Garage Door Opener Internet Gateway
LiftMaster 888LM Security+ 2.0 MyQ Wall Control
Liftmaster 823lm Remote Light Switch

I can open/close my garage door and turn on/off lights from their app, or from a website. The garage door can be controlled through the Wink app, but the light switches are not supported at this time.

Are you happy with your schlage deadbolts?

I just got a nest and myq garage. Trying to decide what other products I should purchase.
