- Alarm.com wants to charge me monthly now after the free new home period. I have moved everything to google home and have no wall tablet control the house. Can I somehow hack this for use with Google home app? It's the IQ Panel from Qolsys
- PowerG vs ZWave vs 433 Mhz (proprietary over open)

Thermostat T6 Pro zwave and IQ Panel - throw or keep?
Z-wave equipment is generally very good and vendor-independent so you can get a new hub and keep most devices. I use Home Assistant and a Z-wave usb dongle as my hub, because it is free software that works a lot of different services. Connecting a new hub to your thermostat and light switches should work without issue, but the iq panel is somewhat proprietary. There is a GitHub project to make it work with Home Assistanr, which may not require paying for their service, but if this doesn’t work the panel might not be worth keeping. Finally, if you happen to have iPhone and HomePod, those devices also have smart home services include with the purchase of the product and let you control your devices when you’re away from home. They don’t use Z-wave, but many hubs (including Home Assistant) can bridge your Z-wave devices to apple home.

How do you manage all your software? I’m just starting out on the smart path and need your help to understand rpi setup
I'm managing all these services with Docker Compose. This means I only have to backup one directory with the configuration and data of all services, and one file, the docker-compose.yml file that defines all services. You can find all source code of the book in its repository (https://github.com/koenvervloesem/raspberry-pi-home-automation), to give you an idea about how you would manage this.
