**In one sentence:** Home automation hub — only makes sense if you have smart devices to control.

**Why it came up:** Zero home automation in the stack today.

### Questions

1. How many smart devices do you have?
2. Zigbee/Z-Wave USB stick on valhalla?
3. If <5 devices — probably skip.

### Your options

| **Later** | Keep on the list, not now |
