Today, we're going to look at how one smart home enthusiast has used the best smart home tech to create a remarkable experience. Over the past year, I've been releasing DIY smart home how to videos and home automation reviews.

I get a lot of questions about where to start a smart home. So today I reached out to Jason Reuter and asked him if he would mind giving us a tour of his smart home. If you don't know Jason, he's the moderator and chief of the Wink Hub group over on Google Plus. So just to get your primed for what you're about to see, Jason will be walking you through a normal day with a smart home. You'll see how he's brought together his Wink Hub 2, Google Home assistant, Philips Hue, Osram Lightify, Nest Cam and a whole host of other smart home tech that's tied together with about 120 robots inside his Wink Hub.
His home is powered by a Wink Hub 2. The colored lights you're seeing are Phillips Hue.
Hey Google, set living room lights to orange.
- (Google) Okay, changing five lights to orange.
- Since I have Nest Cams, which you're watching me on, I have to go with the AI thermostat and I've had the Chromecast for years. Hey Google, what's the temperature of the living room.
Upstairs bedrooms are using Gen 2 Hue lightbulbs. I'm using this leakSMART sensor sitting on top there to get my temperatures to control the robots, so if it gets below X temperature or above X temperature, it can control them by turning it on.
There's the Nest Protect. I got my leakSMART sensor down here by the sump pump. On the other side here, I installed the leakSMART shutoff valve. I have the Nest Cam up there in the top peak. It's the way a true smart home should be. I really like how he integrated the Google Home Assistant with his smart TV and the home automation. For the rest of you, don't forget to check out the Wink and smart things and other home automation groups over on Google Plus.
