Would you like to start with environmental controls, lighting controls, home security, appliance controls, entertainment or automation of chores. All of these areas can improve your life, save you time, save you effort or make life more enjoyable. It will take time to tackle them all, but if you are a beginner, you should start with an area that won't cause major problems for you if your automation system has problems. For example, controlling anything that runs off mains power can be dangerous for a beginner, but if you make a wireless alarm that indicates when someone is approaching your home, it has less chance of hurting something if it doesn't work.
