Build a smart apartment in a weekend, for under $300.
Step-by-step setup, renter-safe devices, and ready-made automations. No drilling. No landlord drama.
Every smart home guide assumes
you own your home.
You’ve tried. It doesn’t apply to you. That ends here.
Advice starts with "first, drill a hole in the wall…" — you can't do that.
"Install a Nest thermostat." Great idea. Landlord said absolutely not.
Every setup guide is written by a tech YouTuber — for other tech YouTubers.
This is what I wish had existed when I started.
Everything you need to automate your apartment
— nothing you don’t.
No filler. No fluff. Just the three things that actually matter.
