What makes a smart home device a true workhorse?
Many devices promise a lot – but which ones actually run reliably year after year? In my new video I share my personal top 3 that have been running without issues for years and genuinely improve my daily life.
- Why I have 34 Shelly actuators installed and what makes them so special
- How 7 Aqara motion sensors provide comfort and automation (and why I wouldn’t want to live without them)
- What Homematic window contacts with 15 years of longevity teach you about “never change a running system”
👉 Curious? The video shows all the details, practical examples and my golden rules for long-lasting smart home installations!
