Smart home shopping is broken. Here's what you're actually dealing with.

😵

Overwhelmed by Options

Ring, Nest, Ecobee, Lutron, SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant... Every "best smart home guide" recommends something different.

💸

Expensive Mistakes

You bought $400 in smart devices that don't talk to each other. Now they're collecting dust in a drawer.

🎯

Affiliate Bias Everywhere

Every review you read is pushing products that pay the highest commission—not what's actually best for your home.

🕐

No Roadmap

Even if you find the right products, you don't know what to buy first, what can wait, or how to make everything work together.

I don't sell smart home products. I sell expertise. That means my only job is to tell you exactly what works—and what doesn't.

Why I built Smart Automator

I've spent years testing smart home products, building automation systems, and helping friends and family navigate the overwhelming world of home technology.

What I kept seeing: regular people wasting hundreds of dollars on products that didn't work together, didn't solve their actual problems, or sat unused after the initial excitement wore off.

So I created Smart Automator to give people what I wish I had when I started: unbiased, practical guidance from someone who actually knows this stuff—and isn't trying to sell you a Ring doorbell for affiliate commission.

🎯

No Affiliate Links

I don't make money when you buy products.

💡

Practical First

I only recommend what actually improves daily life.

🔧

Hands-On Experience

500+ devices tested in real homes.

🤝

Your Success Matters

I'm not done until your automation works.
