Follow smart home MASTERY for help creating your own smarter, greener more entertaining home (aka The Smart-ER Home). Please join us as we create content focusing on technologies from home automation, power management, renewable energy, energy storage, home theaters, whole house audio, net-zero construction techniques and more. We're even building our very own communities of Smart-ER Homes. It's called Project COAZEH ("cozy") and you can follow along on our YouTube Channel as we document the entire building process of these Communities Of Affordable Zero Energy Homes. I'll also be posting blogs here.

Please sign up for my mailing list so I can notify you when I release new content. You will also get a FREE beginners guide that I created that explains the technologies and concepts behind the Smart-ER Home. The right combination of home automation, home entertainment and renewable energy is how you create a smarter, greener, more entertaining home.

My Mission:

smart home MASTERY was founded with the hope that it would help others use technology to improve their way of life, specifically their home life. All too often technology makes our lives more complicated, rather than simpler. Therefore, the focus is on the use of home automation, renewable energy and home entertainment technologies that help improve your quality-of-life, free up your time, save you money, help you have a positive impact on the environment and create a more relaxing home.
