Home Automation is a tricky subject where tech can become too integrated that it becomes a burden on the inhabitants of the home. After a decade of playing with tech in the home – I have landed on a few key standards.

  • All actions but be linked to a Physical Button
  • Only automate things that add security or simplicity to the home
  • Reduce notification noise wherever possible
  • KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid
