#askfedi

I want to set up some simple programmable buttons to run scenarios at my house and my (elderly) mother's.

Factors:
Wi-Fi enabled houses
I have a background in IT - but only done vaguely intelligent plug and play for the last 10 years.
No hubs existing.
Trying to stay cost effective.

Recommendations?

I have existing home automation scenarios, so pretty easy.

Mum's will be all new, but the most important one will be one that sends an alert of some sort to me on activation.

@Andrea The #HomeAssistant tag here on the fedi has some really knowledgeable people contributing to it; and there’s some great Aussie who use HA like @trib @mattrobertson and myself.

I’m always open to answering questions where I can

@twcau @Andrea @mattrobertson I'm certainly learning a LOT. This week has been about weather stations, air quality, and ApexCharts.

And I also very happy to help with any problem I can.
