First platform I bought to get started with my smart home

I'm relatively new to smart home and IoT technology and was looking for a platform that would allow me to work with start some projects. I've seen and compared other platforms like Samsung Smartthings, Wink or Insteon but found that much of the hardware is quite expensive. While Quantum doesn't currently integrate with many other smart home products, I'm sure it will. These will work in the future. I've found that using small and economical electronic components seems like a good approach to saving a few things in my house. My background is in finance so I have limited programming skills but I still wanted to be able to work with my kids on some projects and introduce them to electronics. About 2 weeks ago I received the starter package. There were no electronics in the kit, but luckily I still had the starter electronics kit that I was given as a gift. I started watching some tutorial videos on their YouTube channel and pretty quickly I was able to create a few small and simple projects. I love how their drag canvas objects work in tandem with the hardware. I think it's easy to understand and a reasonable approach to how smart home devices should work. In the coming weeks I am planning other projects such as a motion sensor in my living room combined with tinted lighting, a door contact that sends me an SMS and a weather station. I've already seen that they have some sample projects for this, so I'll follow them to get started. So far, I can really recommend Quantum to anyone who wants to get their hands dirty, build their own smart home devices, and learn new things. technology on the go. It's great to see that you can put something so cool together yourself in such a short amount of time.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Compatibility
