Customer Reviews
So much information!
Richard is usually the first person to tell me about a new IOT product and I trust him to tell me what works and what doesn't.
Very informative show!
This show helps me keep on top of the latest smart home products and gives me ideas how to further automate my home.
Great stuff
I’ve been listening to this show for years. News and a wide range of guests from various areas of smart home technology. Focus on DYI and a great place to learn about products in the smart home arena.
