EverythingWill be much better if you utilize Google products rather than Apple products given that they are not only significantly more reliable and integrated but they are also much more lowfi compatible. Google is always better than Apple but I won’t get into that argument. I imagine you would like something like a nest thermostat, Philips hue lights, Google home hub, Google Chromecast, temperature detectors, humidity detectors, and general raspberry pi sensor setups - I want to have the same but I’m learning that all the added glamour might actually reduce the smartness of the vehicle. In order to have everything interconnected using IOT you will have to have a stable wifi connection which will rely on either a hotspot or a jetpack of sorts but the moment that is down the devices will disconnect and it will just add another layer of troubleshooting. A switch for lights, easy, a cell phone instead of hub, easy, a dumb thermostat is fine since you’re either in the vehicle or you aren’t and it changes temp rapidly anyway, and Chromecast is still ideal but it relies on WiFi so you may as well plug the TV into a laptop or just use the laptops. I want the same, as I said, but the more I think about it - it’s less smart to do so and it just adds complications (for me personally). Definitely excited to hear what you come up with.
