Blodgett IoT 30Oct20

We updated security and IoT at Blodgett. Of course I used SmartThings, Arlo and ZWave+ sensors and switches. I did not go overboard; thus far I've covered:

• Garage doors with tilt sensors
  
• Front doorbell with a sensor that connects to the existing doorbell transformer and alerts me when it dings
• Front outside lighting
• Blodgett Theater lighting
• Every room of Blodgett with motion sensing and 2 way audio security cameras
  

Undone as yet include:

• flood sensing
• online smoke/CO sensing
• proximity sensing to aid path lighting

Since we are "absent" to Summit Co on occasion, we most needed a security update. Too, we needed "Ring-like" features to capture and talk to package delivery (and potential package thievery) persons. Features completed include:

• Full home security motion detection and camera recording, including at night.
• More random lighting to mock homeness.
• Nightly schedule for outside lighting.
• Convenient remote control of theater lighting.
