I was just sitting her working  on an Internet of things  presentation for work  when i got a text message…. from my basement !

the water sensor in my basement was texting me to tell me that the basement had standing water….  I ran down stairs to check.. as I came down the stairs, the light at the bottom of the stairs came on when it sensed my presence.. it lit up a creepy purple (because i’d asked it too via my Smartthings APP) .

I cleared out the stairs and went down into the basement.. and sure enough..  my smart things leak sensor had a light that said ‘help.. I’m in water’ .. and  there was water on the floor.. it had been raining all day and some must have leaked in through the dirt.. bummer

 

 

I ran upstairs to tell diane.. and realized that the tower light had been turned off. I switched it on .. and picked the color via my HUE light app.. normally this is done for me by IFTTT that starts cycling the color of the lamp in the townr from Sundown (as determined by the Weather Channel.. an IBM Company) .. .. The same flow turns it off by 10 so we can sleep

 

I guess Internet of things  is now more than work.. its my home !

niote all, nite sam
