    I've been building my smart home for the past year; now the only missing piece seems to be the Switchbot to automate my old school devices with buttons that need to be pressed. Thanks for the video! So cool!

  • @Jannick-mp7bf
    @Jannick-mp7bf 3 года назад +12

    Two words: Home Assistant. Since you have a lot different hubs and apps. In my opinion, Home Assistant would be an amazing option to hook everything together into one system and app. Plus it is focused on keeping everything local. So that’s a major advantage as regards your privacy
