About
We'll look at various systems and weigh the pros and cons of each. We'll dig deeper into one solution, Home Assistant, and explain how sensors and devices can be integrated into a whole house solution. There will be demonstrations of “smart” devices including switches, lights, and temperature sensors.
And we'll show you how this has already been implemented within the Tech Lab at BARN.
