This Changes Everything… HUGE NEWS

I built an entire smart home from the ground up without voice control, AND WITHOUT HOME ASSISTANT!

This video is sponsored by Aqara, all opinions are my own

If you're building a smart home from scratch in the UK, you'll need a bunch of Smart Home gadgets; Smart Light switches that don't require neutral wires, Smart radiator thermostats, and if you want to do so without talking to Amazon Alexa every 2 minutes then you'll need presence sensors too.

Aqara's products all work with Alexa, Apple Homekit and Google Home too though, so I am actually also able to control all my Smart Home equipment from other manufacturers such as Tuya Smartlife by using Alexa routines, and if you want to stick with Home Assistant the vast majority of these products are local and work with Home Assistant.
