About Automation Guy
I’m a allround tech enthusiast with over 25 years of extensive experience in IT, encompassing everything from application implementation to infrastructure management, server and desktop deployment, software deployment, automation solutions, monitoring, identity and access management, security, as well as consultancy in diverse enterprise environments.
I’m passionate about automation, at home and at my professional work.
Home Automation
This is one of my never ending projects 😉 I use Home Assistant on a Raspberry PI which is open source. I started my home automation with Domoticz but I decided to move to Home Assistant because of its customization possibility and more complex automation possibilities. I also love that Home Assistant can be fully configured with YAML.
I try to automate as much as possible in and around my house. I have a garden in which I implemented an irrigation system. I mostly use Zigbee but I also have Z-wave. Likely I will get more and more matter devices. I will share in my blog more details about my progress.
