Welcome! Building a smart home can be confusing when you are first getting started. That’s why I created this blog. Here I will post resources, blogs, and videos in hopes that it will help you on your smart home journey.
I’ve been an Apple user for many years, so I decided build my smart home using HomeKit, Apple’s smart home platform. I have been gradually building my own smart home, one piece at a time, over the past few years. I decided to document my process here and on YouTube for others who may find it useful.
