Welcome! I'm Alan Byrne, the Home Automation Guy, and I'm here to show you what I've learned on my Home Automation journey, so that together we can make your home smarter.
My aim is to help make Home Assistant and smart homes accessible to everybody.

Well, I promised a smart home tour video when I hit 100k subs, and it happened last week! If you've been watching my channel for a while, then you'll probably have seen a lot of this before - but I wanted to keep my promise!
I want to thank all of my subscribers for being such a supportive audience over the years! You've inspired me, kept me honest, and motivated me to continue to make my smart home better. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏

Hey internet hive mind! What are your recommendations for a robot vacuum cleaner with mopping capabilities that can handle a 7mm high rug, and has no privacy-destroying cameras built into it? 🤖🧹🧼

So many people commented on my Wall Panel comparison video asking why I didn't use an old Android tablet instead - so I decided to make a video about it!

I released a new video to explain my channel for folks that are new. It was directed and edited by my buddy Pete @fluxfilm , which is why it's so much more professional than my usual videos. I'd love to hear what you all think, and go check out some of his amazing other work!

I apologise to everyone who ran into trouble with my Room Presence detection video. Format-BLE shut down and is no longer available 🤦. I've re-recorded this video showing you how to do it with a different integration, Bermuda BLE, instead. It's actually a lot easier and more powerful!
Let me know if you find this useful!
