Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to say hi and inspire other lurkers to join in on the communities they love.

I come from Home Assistant and Home Automation on Reddit and figured my low post count on those communities wouldn’t help grow these communities unless I get my hands dirty and participate where I can.

Anyways I am happy to be here and I guess I’ll end off with asking what everyone else is using for their home automatons?

    Diehard Insteon fanboy here. HomeAssistant, Alexa, two Zwave switches, some Feit bulbs. A complete mess. I need to sit down and spend some time learning HA so I can unify it all. Just no spare time…

      Hahaha I feel your pain. I started off with pretty much everything but easily supported gear. D-Link smart plugs, a mix of cameras from different vendors… And a home assistant install that only wanted to talk to half of them on a good day. Now I have a mix of 433MHz, Zigbee, and Z-Wave gear. The fun part is once you have the spare time to work at it you’ll probably not have spare time anymore lol
