Control power outlets in my house using Ediplug (or a similar competitor)
Another user already covered this...."" I've just started my home automation journey, so I'm still looking at systems, but there are several first-party and third-party apps for various systems. A couple that come to mind are the official Vera app, Grasshopper for Vera systems, Snap Switch, and the official Insteon app. Personally, I'll probably go with Vera. There are a number of Z-Wave devices I'm interested in that should work with it. I just installed a Ring Video Doorbell and I'm pretty happy with it and the Windows 10 app."
Play any number of games that I really like, such as Frozen Synapse or Badland
