After switching to the alternative lighting with the smart bulb I was able to put it together pretty quickly.

I installed MotioneyeOS and took the stock raspbian off. Out of the box it is very functional for this particular case but for a production model or consumer version the software would have to be even more user friendly for non tech people. Which is the whole point of this project.

Switching to the smart bulb also meant switching to a slightly different light socket adapter with a 2 prong outlet on the side.

This version of the prototype achieved the following things:

• App controlled lighting through the wink app
  • turn on/off ,
  • dimmable
  • scheduling
• Web controlled security camera made possible by MotionEyeOS
  • Motion detection
  • image capture and save
  • video capture and save
  • save data to google drive or dropbox
  • view video away from the house
  • email notifications of motion detections
• Hardware
  • pi 3 with integrated wifi
  • pi camera 5 mega pixel
  • GE A19 smart bulb
  • usb charger
