Kwikset for electronic door lock integration.
MyQ for garage doors.
Ambient Weather station with dashboard viewable online to anyone that goes to their website.
MyLeviton app for setting/scheduling our outdoor lighting/lamp posts.
Wireless driveway sensor system.
Sonos throughout the house.
Samsung Smart Things to control our Samsung Mini split heating system and Samsung frame TV's (all of our tvs are Samsung).
Next up for me us adding a higher resolution POE camera system. The Rings are convenient but simply don't offer the high-quality images I want. Facial recognition and license plate reading are definitely lacking, plus I want a higher end PTZ for looking out at the lake. We are prewired for it, I just need to do it.

The Ring cameras and any wifi style camera can be easily defeated/ jammed. Of course it is illegal to use a jammer but if someone is going to break into your home or business, they aren't worried about using an illegal jammer! I like Hanwha cameras (South Korean company) and their Wave recording appliance. Axis makes good cameras and their appliance, Axis Camera Station is a good option.
