When you design your smart home or look at upgrading or adding to your system, spend the time to figure out what you need and want from your entertainment systems. At home we spend a lot more time consuming media (a fancy term for watching TV & movies, reading, or listening to music) than adjusting our thermostats, unlocking our doors, or playing with our lights – so don’t ignore it. (Actually, I mostly listen to audio books from Audible, but that is really the same kind of thing.)īut what about photos, music, and video? What’s the electronic equivalent of those dusty old photo albums stacks of vinyl records cd cassettes or heaven forbid – 8 track tapes or shelves full of VHS video tapes and DVD discs?Įntertainment is an important part of any smart home system.
Now my book collection is just a few electronic files stored in my device and online in a cloud account. If you’re an avid reader, most likely like me you long ago ditched the hardcover or paperback printed book and started using an E-reader like the Amazon Kindle. Many of us no longer subscribe to newspapers or magazines and get most of our information online by reading websites or following newsfeeds on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. In our modern digital age our collection of books & magazines has been replaced with their electronic equivalent.
It deserves serious consideration to be included as part of your smart home system and best of all, it is mostly free! The Plex Media Server is an amazing product that brings order to all your media – music, photos, and videos. Media – A Fancy Word For News, Leisure, & Entertainment
