Home Assistant is a smart way to goIt gives you much more controlCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOClose Credit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOCredit: Shaun Cichacki/MUOWhen choosing my smart home setup, I wasn't really focused on privacy. My home runs on the Amazon Alexa Smart Home System with many different devices that all use Amazon Alexa. I prefer using Amazon because of its versatility and the fact that I already had a smart speaker to start when I was setting up my smart home. Having a smart lock in your home on either the front door, back door, or side door is an easy way to stop unwanted people from visiting your home. If you don't want to carry around a key for your front door any longer, a smart lock eliminates the need for it much of the time.
