Smarthome Riggs

This channel is dedicated to all things Smart Home related. I will be covering Smart Home lights, cameras, switches, plugs, buttons, etc., (from Amazon's Alexa, Google, and Apple's Home Kit). I've been doing smart home setups for years, and have evolved over time, as new technologies are released. But no ONE solution has addressed all of my needs, so I'm going to share which parts of which ecosystem I like, and why. If you're like me and don't want to limit yourself to one ecosystem, then follow me... at Smarthome Riggs... Smarthome Riggs - Helping your Smart Home tech work for You

NEW Smart Home Tech & YouTube almost 1 year in

On today's podcast, Rennie and I discuss Smart Home tech for people who HATE it, and several pieces of new Smart Home technology that have been released, (or are about to be). We also talk about our YouTube channel, as we get closer to the 1 year anniversary of starting it, our upcoming Giveaway, and much more.
