![Square One, Ep. 6: Laundry Alerts Using Dome Energy Monitoring Plug and WebCoRe!
Not knowing when the laundry is done is typically why we always forget about it after starting a load. With the Dome energy monitoring on/off plug switches, we can monitor when the power consumption drops after the cycle is completed. Using WebCore, we can send a push notification, flash the lights, send a chime through the dome siren, or even tell us through a smart speaker.

![Sonoff R2 | $5 Smart Switch Working with SmartThings!
Finding an inexpensive smart switch to help control your home is a great way to save money while keeping your home working for you. The sonoff has been solid for me for almost two years with only minor issues when it comes to power outages. Check out how we flash these to work with SmartThings to add more awesome features to these little devices.

-
if flashing a different sonoff board, the 3.3v put off from the USB cable from the computer may not be enough to broadcast the wifi signal. you may need to attach to mains power after flashing

![Alexa controlled servo to push ANY button | Less than $10!
Alexa can control a huge amount of smart devices out there. Unfortunately, not everything around the house is smart (yet.) Sometimes, we want some of our dumb devices, that work perfectly fine, to automatically turn on or activated by the press of a button. Using a Wemos D1, some wires, and a servo, now you can use Alexa to push just about any type of button you can think of. Im excited to try this on a variety of projects around the house!

![Whole Home Leak Detector! Phyn Water Assistant Review
Phyn Smart Water Assistant full Review. The water use plus feature is able to estimate how much water you are using throughout the home. There are, however instances where it will not pick up any usage at all for smaller amounts of water or if the pressure changes are not great enough. You are able to train the assistant to learn your home better, and over time it will get smarter. Finding a leak in the home, however, is what this unit is really great for. The only caveat being, you must turn off the main coming into the house to do the plumbing checks.
