Not to burst anyone's bubble here but something to keep in mind.
I have a geeky prankster type younger brother who absolutely gets a kick out of messing with his neighbors' smart home setups. Turing lights on and off setting off alarms they have set up opening and closing garage doors etc. I dare say it's harmless fun and he has never messed with anything serious, maybe had some folks call tech support for malfunction devices though.
From what he has said it's quite easy to access someones system and have a little fun. So I personally watch how much automating I do and don't wifi anything that could cause harm if hacked. Just some food for thought.
