Sound Advice: Advice on home automation

One of the most appealing systems I have tried is from Skylink (also referred to as SkylinkNet) because of its ability to affordably create a comprehensive, subscription-free alarm system along with home automation. Skylink offers a variety of starter kits from $99 to $199 that include a hub with keypad and a variety of wireless security sensors. Connect the hub to your wireless modem, download the app and follow the instructions for easy set-up of the hub and sensors.

Once Skylink is configured, you can purchase the exact pieces you want to customize the system for you home and your needs. The system can integrate up to 100 sensors, including security cameras you can monitor from your smartphone ($59) and motion sensors ($39), all controlled by an app, voice command or a hand-held remote. Not only can you build a system that is perfect for you and expand on it as desired, you are not saddled with burdensome monthly fees. Article link
