The Best (And Worst) Smart Home Tech We Tested This Month

We’re testing out the best (and worst) new smart home technology hitting the market, like the new Google Home Speaker, the SwitchBot E-Ink Dashboard, and more. I'm giving honest verdict with hands-on reviews, and real-world results of my testing to help you protect your wallet and build a better automated home.

In this episode, we also take a look at a #UGREEN NAS setup for local AI and smart home integration, the new #SwitchBot productivity bundle, advanced presence sensors, smart lighting for the holidays, and more!
