Tom's Smart Home - Invidious

Tom's Smart Home

I help you build a smart home without using the cloud.

My mission is to show that a smart home that limits a cloud connection is not only possible, but preferred. Freeing ourselves from any one vendor or solution puts us, the smart home owners, in control of how our data is used.
