Here's Why I'm Convinced You Need To Consider Cloud Home Automation Too

It's really popular to say that you need a local smart home, meaning you can't be reliant on cloud services or cloud-based options, but I think that's short-sighted and naive. It's about balance, and today I'm going to share a story with you why I say that. We don't need to fight over this, but you do need to think about how you're building smart tech into your life. Special thanks to today's video sponsor, Aqara! They just released their new M200 smart home hub and it just might be the right local-based home automation solution for you. It's the right balance of price, features, and performance. Pick one up here: https://amzn.to/3MbYn2U (USA, affiliate link), https://geni.us/K6h9KuS (Worldwide, affiliate link).
