I recently bought a house and looking for ways to digitize, make better use of current hardware technologies to make the house as optimized as possible.
First of all I not having any kind of desktop computer in it.
For work, it will be 1 macbook + a nice 27" Screen.
Second, for storage, I am considering nice state of the art servers (such as the Synology DS2411+)
which would:
- Scale
- Does not take a lot of space
- Redundant (RAID)
- Offers secure access (even online access).
I would use the above to store every media i have, from movies, dvds, to family albums, ....
For the above to work, I would also need nice wifi media players connected to my tvs so they stream whatever media format I want from the server.
So that's it for the Media stuff.
I am not really into electronics, and many people here are actually advanced in that domain, so would like to know what can be feasible, ie:
- Ability to turn on/off heaters,.. from online locations ( my home server online).
Is that even feasible? or even cost effective?
Thanks :)
