$500 Smart Home Challenge | Podcast

If you had $500 to make your smart home, what would you do? Pete, Brandon and Vince each took a $500 budget and found the best valued devices they could to fill out their smart home. Plus, we discuss the big news of LGs acquisition of Athom (creators of the Homey Pro hub).

Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control. #DIYSmartHomeGuy #SmartHome #HomeAutomation
