The Netatmo doesn’t have a built in screen but you can access detailed charts and forecasts from the companion app.

Philips Hue Starter Kit

If your dad is looking to get into smart lighting than I recommend going with the Philips Hue system. It’s what I use in my place, and I’ve found it to be the most reliable and highest quality smart lighting. Unlike cheaper smart lights like the Mirabella Genio, Philips Hue will work no matter what phone or smart system your dad has. It works on all platforms.

The Philips Hue Starter Kit comes with a number of bulbs and a bridge. The bridge makes sure the lights are always connected and they can also be controlled remotely or setup to work with automations. And yes these smart lights will work with Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa.

Eve Aqua Smart Tap

The Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller connects your outdoor tap to your smart home. You’ll be able to turn on the tap for watering remotely or setup automations to automatically water on certain days. Great for when you’re on Vacation but still need to water the plants. The device has a built in flow meter so you’ll get insights on how much water you’re consuming.

Netatmo Smart Rain Gauge

This Smart Rain Gauge replaces the old fashioned gauges which require constant emptying. The Netatmo Smart Rain Gauge connects to your phone and will keep track of rainfall. Using HomeKit or other smart home apps, you’ll be able to setup smart automations such as making sure your smart watering system doesn’t turn on if there has been rain. You can also setup alerts through the Netatmo app to get notified when it starts raining. Perfect for when you need to get the washing off the line!

The Netatmo Rain Gauge requires a Netatmo Weather Station as a hub.

Echo Smart Speaker with Clock

The Echo Gen 4, is both a smart speaker and a clock. You can use it to play music, set timers, control your smart home devices, get the news, and much more. It comes with Alexa, which is one of the most comprehensive smart assistants.

Grow fresh herbs and veggies all year round using the Veritable Smart Indoor Garden. This indoor garden uses a pod system that doesn’t require a green thumb. Just pop in a growing pod and the smart garden will do the rest and provide light, irrigation and nutrients.

Apple TV 4k

The Apple TV 4K will upgrade any tv into a smart TV it even works great with an existing Smart TV. Use the Apple TV for streaming TV (Like Netflix, Binge, Stan, Kayo etc), playing games from the App Store, Working out or playing music. The Apple TV will also act as a smart home hub for many Homekit compatible smart devices, allowing you to control them remotely or running automations. But for most people, they will just appreciate the interface and remote which is a joy to use and much better than the standard interface you get with your TV.

I recommend the latest version as it comes with an upgraded remote, which is a million times better than the old Apple TV remote.

It provides both White and Colour lighting that is almost infinitely adjustable. Control the lights using any voice assistant or your phone.
