Affordable Smart Home on a Budget | Aqara vs Home Assistant
Can you create an affordable smart home on a small budget? Today we explore starting small and adding to your smart home over time. Smart light switches, PIRs and Door Sensors are a great place to start. You can then consider smart thermostats, robot vacuums etc later on.
I show you a Home Assistant and an Aqara option.
