I tested a bunch of super cheap smart home gadgets from AliExpress… and honestly some of these are way more useful than they should be.
In this video I’ll show you 5 insanely cheap smart home devices that I actually use every day, including automations that:
Automatically turn off my dehumidifier when the door opens
Alert me if it starts raining while my washing is outside
Turn lights on and off with motion
Pause my TV (by voice or when the doorbell rings)
Tell me exactly when my plants need watering
None of these are expensive. But when you connect them with Home Assistant, they become seriously powerful.
If you're into smart home setups, automations, or just saving money while making your house a bit smarter, this is for you.
