I have two Nest Thermostats that control heating and hot water. Also have 9 Nest Protect smoke alarms with integrated movement sensors and night light features. Because Nest products 'talk to each other' my house knows if I'm at home or away. When it switches to away mode it will optimise heating and hot water until I get back. You can control everything of course via mobile phone.

Garage door operators are made by Hormann. Remotely controlled and monitored by Hormann app on my phone. I can see if doors are opened, closes or partially closed (in %). Can open, close or put doors in ventilation position from my phone, from my car or with classic remove commanders.

Garden and outdoor security lighting is made by company called LightSymphony. Can control lighting from phone app, all lights individually. PIR sensors switch security lighting wirelessly.
