About me
Hi, I'm Ronald. Home automation has always been my passion. It started with lights that switch on when it gets dark and a notification when the washing machine is done. And it never stopped with creating new automations.
On this website I share examples and configurations I created over the years, so you can easily improve your own smart home based on my projects.
