Smart gadgets are one of those hobbies that sneak up on you. At first, I just wanted a smart bulb so I could dim the lights from my phone. Then it turned into automating coffee in the morning, setting routines for bedtime, and even checking the weather with a quick voice command.

It’s not about needing these things—it’s about the fun of experimenting. I enjoy figuring out how they work together and tweaking little settings until it feels seamless. There’s a nerdy joy in seeing my home respond in small ways to routines I’ve set up.

For me, it’s like having a little tech playground inside my house.
