Model Railways MEETS Home Automation. Proud sponsor PCBWay. Home Automation is taking the world by storm. I am now brining these 2 hobbies together Model Railways and Home Automation. I am was sick and tied of climbing under the board to turn on my power switches this is a thing of the past. I am still working towards true automation, so watch out for more videos in this space on how I am using Home Automation to control aspects of my Model Railways.

I have been experimenting in this space with Esp32 dev boards from PCBWay on how using these boards to control LED lighting effects to enhance the automation within my Model Railways.
