BUILDING A SMART HOME WITH APPLE HOMEKIT – EPIC BEGINNER'S GUIDE
2022 is the perfect time to start or improve your Smart Home
If you're overwhelmed and not sure where to start, don't worry, I was right where you are about 3 years ago! This is a longer video, not feature film long, but about the length of a Ted Lasso episode…🤷🏻♂️I hope you find it to be a useful guide that you can refer to as needed so skip around in the chapters, especially once you're ready to get set up in the Home App and even create your first scenes and automations to start getting the most of your Smart Home!
