Switchbot and Home Assistant Can Save You Money #EnergyChallenge

I teamed up with Switchbot, IFTTT, and the energy Challenge to show you a couple of ways you can blend smart home tech in Home Assistant to be more intentional about the energy usage. In this video we use ThirdReality Motion Sensors, and Sengled LED bulbs, Smartbot LED Strips, Switchbot Motions Sensors, and even IFTTT to create some automations to fix some lighting issues in my house.
