Shop Smart Homes is a home automation enthusiast publication. We write from the perspective of an end user looking for the best value and least hassle. We started our smart home journey using some basic wifi sensors and quickly grew tired of having to manage multiple apps. Our second stop with automation was utilizing Samsung SmartThings and adding and integrating both zwave and zigbee devices. Now with a new construction home we are currently transitioning from SmartThings to a Home Assistant based smart home while still running SmartThings alongside to have for testing and review purposes.
