It’s time to narrow down my smart home system and ONLY use the best! Here’s what I decided to stick with and why.

I also have a Home Assistant SkyConnect plugged in but I’m still using Zigbee and Z-Wave devices so I haven’t used it outside of testing:

I learned so much in 10 minutes.
Stacking smart home systems. Sounds like the systems are really smart. Uhuh…
Finally a person I can understand. I like your humor and how well you explain things. I just found you today and will keep watching. I’m trying to decide what I need to buy and I wondered if there is a monthly fee for using a HomePod or just setting a few items up. I’m in a wheelchair and need to make a few things easier for myself. Thank you for your videos.
