You guys, I have so many questions. I'm just confusing myself at this point. I've read the thread from about last July, but I figured starting from the beginning would only be confusing myself with old technology. If I buy something that says "works with Alexa," do I need to buy an Echo Plus, or will it work with, say, a Show or a Dot? Is it dependent on whether the device in question has a hub of its own? I have hue lights and a bridge on the way but delayed by weather, we've preordered a Nest doorbell that comes with a free Google Home mini and ships next month, we have a million Mac and iOS devices, and I successfully put Home Assistant onto a Raspberry Pi2 I had sitting around, but of course no devices to test it on. I don't speak Python, so I feel kind of over my head with that one, but I bought the Pi to learn new things and then never did, so ... I was thinking the Google Mini would be fine to start with, but some things I'm interested in aren't available yet, and seem to be maybe Alexa-enabled only. I don't want to start building things up, only to have to switch it all over later. Also, this whole thing got started because we'll be re-siding the house this spring or summer, and I want to get doors, outlets, windows, doorbell, cameras, lights, whatever, all situated with the nice new siding. What am I forgetting that would best be done while the siding is off the house?
