This blog started in September 1996. 27 years on, the time has come to make a change.
Almost 3 decades after I began my home automation journey, I’ve found my smart home nirvana. It was a long and winding road, and it’s been filled with great experiences, not least the many friendships made along the way.
Regular readers will have noticed a reduction in the volume of posts though, especially since we finished our Automated Home 2.0 self-build project in 2020. My spare time has largely been taken up on another project (on electric vehicles) over the last few years and It would be a great shame to let Automated Home fizzle out. So I am delighted to say that I have reached an agreement to see the blog continue.
Please welcome the new owner Marty, as he takes over the site. The next post will be from him, laying out his plans for the future.
Thank you to everyone that helped me with Automated Home over the years, and especially to all the readers, your loyalty and support always meant a great deal to me.
Signing off
Mark
