Smart home automation A lot of things changed since my last post about home automation. I moved to a single-family house. IFTTT decided to charge people for their service and limit the number of free integrations. Nobody uses Skype anymore for video calling. Harmony remotes are no longer supported by the manufacturer. So, what am I using in 2023 for home automation?
The heart of everything is my old NUC from Google Home condo automation, Part 1 Hardware . I have Home Assistant running it on VM though VirtualBox.
I still use google home for voice integrations. Now I have four of them plus two Chromecasts and several Android phones.
