Dipping my toes into #HomeAutomation starting with a couple of #Sonoff temp/humidity sensors + Dongle Lite to use with my laptop and #HomeAssistant before having a dedicated hub.
That's £51 so ok to play and get the basics.
Got any thoughts or suggestions?
Home Assistant Green looks good for a dedicated hub but at £150 a bit much until I've tested the basics out. This is for a house I'm not living in yet so monitoring is all I need.
If the above goes well and I add a dedicated hub I'll probably use an old mobile with cheap broadband plan as a hotspot to allow remote access as I don't have broadband.
Does #HomeAssistant help handle IP address changes by the mobile ISP?
I have in the past hacked my own and could do that again, but wonder if this supported as it must be a common requirement for this kind of setup.
Or wait, do folk use a mobile app over the internet when not at home (with privacy)?

These things are so cheap anyway. I'll keep Tier1 in mind if I start to fill that room. 🙂
