Why this site exists

A real home, not a sponsored sandbox.

Smart home reviews online are mostly written by people who got the box for free. Everything here lives in my walls, runs through my Wi-Fi, and earns its keep day to day.

When something fails, gets returned, or gets quietly replaced — I update it here. The goal: the shortlist I wish I'd had three years ago.
