Want to set up a smart home without going broke? Here's how to do it for less than $200
If you're thinking about setting up a smart home without investing a lot of money, here's how you can do it affordably.
When I see the term "smart home," I think about the Disney movie, Smart House. It came out in the late '90s and was about a family that won a contest for a super-high-tech smart house. It was a bit over the top. It could produce holograms and milkshakes and do the typical "smart home" stuff: voice commands, automated floor cleaning, security system, and more. I don't think the movie said how much the house cost to build, but it had to be millions of dollars, putting the idea of a smart home and its features out of reach for the average person.
