10 Impressive Home Automations from Around the World

Time to show off YOUR automations! You all sent me some very impressive home automation ideas that I’m so excited to show you.

SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS
Want me to feature your automation idea in a future video? Here’s how:
1. Take a horizontal video showing the automation in action and explaining it.
Videos that are well-lit and not extremely shaky are more likely to be used.
2. Upload the video to Google Drive, YouTube, or another platform.
Make sure we can view and download it from the link you send.
3. In an email, send us a link to the video.
You can also write down more info about how you set up the automation, what tech you’re using, your name for a shoutout, etc.
4. Email to: smarthomesolver@gmail.com
This email is only for submitting your automation ideas and setups. All other emails will not receive a response.

Big thanks to today’s submissions: Thorstann, Lisakki, Andrew, Jacob, Jaren, George, Sonny, Josiah, Tim, and Praul Hubert
