Hey Phil. Ja, us South Africans have to be security conscious hey ;)
Do yourself a favour and look into Home Assistant too for home automation. I see Home Assistant but more for lights, switches etc. Many people have used it to integrate cameras etc. Just fun to have cameras and home automation mixed :)
Damn I love how inviting everyone is on Steemit, I just spoke this morning to a few people about how this compares to Facebook and it's like night and day to be honest...on Facebook you always get people that will take offense or "attack" you for no reason at all...but on steemit, everyone is so friendly and encouraging..makes we want to come back to see who else is using this platform.
I will definitely look at Home Assistant, thanks so much for sharing! I am an absolutely tech junkie..if that is a real term lol and love new and exciting tech...
So true man!! A LOT friendlier here than on FB!!
Awesome, check it out - just load it on a Raspberry Pi and have fun :)
