The latest thing I have implemented is streaming music to my cars from my home server, no need for Sirius/xm.

As for the “smart home” designation, it’s pretty much a joke. This will give you a few wired connections in a couple of rooms, a WAP port in the living room, no big deal. Home automation comes from how you design your network (wired and wireless), the products you buy, and how you implement them.

I'm curious how you implemented streaming music from your home server to your cars.
