A plea for help from a Newbie!

Willows

I am in the process of specifying the HA infrastructure for a new house I am building. My background is sort of techie (Homevision, X-10, Comfort etc) but I'm not a programmer. For this reason I like the look of Homey as it seems to move the game on from other controllers. The issue, as with all devices, especially Z-wave ones is identifying devices which are KNOWN to work together. So here are my questions, does anybody :

• know of a light level sensor which is suitable for external use
• know of a way of controlling an Amazon Fire TV
• know of a remote IR blaster to control equipment which is in another room from Homey

I will be most grateful for any help you can offer.

Did you search the forum  f.i. https://forum.athom.com/search?q=Amazon+Fire+TV
for IR you could look for Marmitek
For outside light level, I use an indoor type, placed behind the window, looking outside, much cheaper.
