About
The Author
10+ years of building, breaking, and fixing smart home systems. From the early days of X10 to modern Zigbee meshes.
I started automating my home in 2012 with a Raspberry Pi and some relay boards. Hundreds of hours of debugging, dozens of failed experiments, and countless "why won't this work at 3am" moments later - I've learned what actually works in production.
This changelog documents the solutions that survived. No theory. No "you could do this." Just configs that run 24/7 in my home right now.
What is smarthome.log?
smarthome.log is a technical changelog documenting real smart home automation solutions. Each entry represents a specific problem I encountered and the exact solution that fixed it.
No tutorials. No step-by-step guides for beginners. Just problem-solution pairs with actual configs that work.
