    Where shall I begin.....

    PC, 2x laptops and Steam Deck.
    TV's, 55 and a 24 in kitchen.
    2x iPhones and a kid's iPad.
    Gigabit fibre with 2x Asus routers doing mesh Wifi

    Now, smart home stuff:
    A mini-stx Proxmox PC running Plex and Home Assistant among other things.
    EVERYTHING is on Home Assistant.
    Zigbee sensors all over the place, Home Assistant SkyConnect dongle.
    Google home mini smart speakers x4
    Tado smart thermostat, I got it really early so no monthly sub required
    Smart lighting in hallway and stairs.
    Smart ambient lighting in most rooms, main lights still manual
    "smart" dehumidifier, decisions are made based on humidity as well as energy cost and solar excess
    Outdoor cameras

    Energy:
    Smart meter with MQTT: https://shop.glowmarkt.com/products/display-and-cad-combined-for-smart-meter-customers
    Vehicle-2-Home bi-directional charger for Nissan Leaf, effectively got a home battery with wheels.

    We've yet to own a smart TV; everything we watch is through the Xbox connected to a very basic 50" 1080p LG.

    PC x3 - my rig, one for the kids (ex-work system), and my current work system, which I expect to be purchasing
    Too many laptops, pretty much every one of them is old / broken / in poor nick
    3x ipads - two are for the kids, the other is my wife's
    Lenovo Tab P12 - only had it a few months, love it
    2x iphones and a Galaxy S21 FE

    That's it - very primitive, seeing that the majority of our tech is either preowned or reconditioned, but it does the job perfectly. Do my fans count as tech...? :lol:

    Ah yes, things with IP addresses:

    Two phones
    Two tablets that only get used as a baby monitor / YouTube kids
    Two laptops for work
    NAS
    Laptop running Plex
    Smart TV

    Which in the grand scheme of things isn't much: tech is too easy these days, back when I joined Bit it required time and effort to get even basic results, nowadays everything just works on any old junk hardware.

    Actually, Nest thermostat as well. Love that thing.

    couple of set top boxes

    3 family work machines

    my latest tech additions connected washing machine and dryer because, yup you need that :D though it is nice to know when a sensor dry has finished as you don't hear it in the utility.
    We do have a cute wifi connected dishwasher in the house called bob that can order its own cartridges but that's just temporary for test before we put it in the granny flat. Yes I applied the word cute to an inanimate washing tool but look at it Bob the eco-compact dishwasher - Daan Tech :D

    I'm definitely behind the curve here.

    Entertainment: one very much not-smart LCD TV in the living room, one even-less-smart CRT in the office. Xbone S, PS4, original Switch. Then a bunch of old stuff: C64s, C128, Z88, A500P, A1200, N64, GameCubes, PS2, Dreamcast, Game Gear, PlayChoice-10. Handful of mini-emulators: C64, Amiga, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Mega Drive II, PC Engine, Neo Geo, Astro City. The kids have a tablet each, there's an original Sony Xperia Tablet on Android 4 or similar somewhere too. Phones, obviously.

    Work: Laptop, desktop, two monitors but one's behind me and I never use it. Couple of other old monitors sitting spare. Old desktop. Stupid Hipster Laptop. Other Stupid Hipster Laptop. Far more Raspberry Pis and other single-board computers than I'd care to count. Likewise microcontrollers. Large library of books. Too many keyboards.

    Smart home: Four smart plugs, two of which are disconnected at the moment. Off-the-shelf camera system including a doorbell camera. One smart bulb. Two Alexas with screens, three without. Most commonly shouted command: "Alexa, turn the screen off." Alarm system... which has been sat in its box for a year or more. I really should fit that, but the cameras do a good job on their own. Wi-Fi connected air-source heat-pump in the office.

    Not-smart home: Under-counter fridge, freezer, washer-dryer. Chest freezer in the shed. Three dehumidifiers in the house, one in the office.

    That's about it, I reckon.

    Desktops, phones, Ipad, Nest Thermostat and 2 Chromecasts to make my non-smart Plasma and Projector able to stream Netflix etc.

    Oh and since Christmas some smart Govee lights for the kids which no doubt are leaking this email and everything else on my network to the Chinese government!

    It'd be helpful if people wrote their house number and postcode with their lists.

    Thanks :thumb::worried:

    I'm going to have to do a bit of housekeeping as apparently I've allocated 76 IP addresses to kit in the house.

    TV, a few laptops, PCs, phones and tablets.

    We don't use the Echo/Alexa devices anymore, after I requested a data dump and was a wee bit surprised at the 600 megabytes of data Amazon was storing about us.
