Originally started by Mark in 1996, Automated Home has been a vibrant Smart Home community for 29 years.

Over the decades we’ve become a trusted resource for information on home technologies for automation and entertainment in new builds and retrofits.

Marty took over as the custodian of Automated Home in late 2023 and shares his learnings on his journey of making his home a little smarter. To follow along with all of Marty’s notes and updates, register here to get all of the notes from every episode.

Our Home Automation Forums and Facebook Group are the place for you to discuss systems and get your technical questions answered. You can also connect with us via any of the social media platforms linked in the footer below.

Smart homes don’t have to be intimidating – they should be approachable for people at all levels. Whether you’re a beginner just looking to take your first step with a smart device or a seasoned expert with advanced automation in every part of your home, welcome – it’s nice to have you here.
