About This Site

Hello and welcome to Smart Home Automated. My name is David and I am passionate about technology and specifically Smart Home Automation. I created this site to share how anyone can automate their home one device at a time.

I’ve been in the technology field for more than twenty years and enjoy sharing what I’ve learned. Practical Home Automation is affordable and easy to accomplish. Using off the shelf, plug and play smart devices anyone can create the smart home of their dreams.

I currently have more than 40 smart devices in my home. These include lights, plugs, switches, a robotic vacuum, cameras, leak detectors, thermostats, door locks, and voice assistants.

Below are a list of the brands I have implemented in my Smart Home Automation.

  • Arlo
  • Blink
  • Nest
  • Wyze
  • Kasa
  • Wemo
  • Lifx
  • Vivint
  • Google Home Hub
  • Amazon Echos

My goal for this site is to cover the basics of home automation and continually add new content including how to guides, product reviews, and pro-tips.

I hope you enjoy the site and please reach out with any questions or suggestions.

Don’t forget to Live — The Automated Life

Sincerely,

David
