I've looked into Z-Wave. Once you get it started, you can add to it, and control lights, temps, door locks, cameras, everything from your phone or internet.
One day I might end up going through with it.

Cost is what's holding me back, it's just not worth it.
To get a decent set up, I can see it costing about a thousand.

Electronic switches, control panels, and the time, you're looking at a few grand.
My buddy does it for a living and said it's really pricey

I had some ceiling fans that were remote controlled. Shit was awesome. To be able to integrate that into a phone app would be double awesome.

Right, I was just thinking about a decent start.
Door locks, thermostat, and maybe a few lights.
But I like that you can add to it over time.
I'm planning on moving in 5 to 10 years, the more I think about it, I wouldn't do anything until then.

You could control the ceiling fan, blinds, thermostat, lights, unlock the front door to let someone in, a lazy man's dream come true.
