Welcome to my blog about Smart Home!
My name is Jochen, and I am a passionate technology enthusiast, hobbyist and digitalization fan. For several years now, I have been working intensively on the topic of smart homes – from simple Wi-Fi sockets to complex automation systems with voice control, sensors and central control systems.
What fascinates me about this?
The possibilities of making everyday life more convenient, safer and more energy-efficient – and all with modern technology that is now accessible to everyone.
What you can expect here
On this blog, I regularly share:
- Practical tests of smart home devices and systems
- Step-by-step instructions for beginners and advanced users
- Tips & Tricks for automating everyday situations
- Comparisons and recommendations on what is really worthwhile
- Insights into my own setup – including mistakes, learnings and successes
- My focus is not only on major brands such as Philips Hue, Bosch, Amazon or Google, but also on open systems such as Home Assistant, ioBroker or Homebridge.
Why this blog?
When I started with smart homes myself, I was often frustrated: unclear instructions, technical hurdles and products that promised more than they delivered.
With this blog, I want to share my knowledge, inspire others and create a point of contact for anyone who is looking to get started with the connected home – or is already in the middle of it.
