About

I am building an EASY smart home using Apple's HomeKit. I release a new HomeKit smart home video every Sunday and live stream every Wednesday. Join me as I transform my home into a HomeKit Smart Home and document every step of the way. Being a huge apple fan and deeply invested into the apple ecosystem, I enjoy trying new products that work with HomeKit and sharing my experiences with you.
