About

Hey there! I’m Andy, the one-man band behind The Home Tech Hub. You’re probably here because you’re a bit of a tech enthusiast yourself, or maybe you’re just trying to figure out how to get your smart home to stop yelling at you. Either way, welcome!

This whole thing started with a simple, slightly obsessive idea: how can I make my home tech work for me, not the other way around? And more importantly, how can I do it without a massive budget or a full-time IT department? The answer, as it turns out, is a delightful mix of clever automation, a good bit of DIY tinkering, and the strategic use of whatever old bits of kit I have lying around.

The mission of The Home Tech Hub is pretty straightforward: to demystify home tech, to show you how to build a smart, automated life that’s affordable, and to share a few laughs along the way. I’m all about leveraging local hardware, keeping costs to a minimum, and turning a hobby into something that might, one day, pay for a decent cuppa.

So, stick around. We’ll dive into everything from setting up your own media server to getting your lights to turn on just as you walk in the door. I’m here to prove that a smarter home doesn’t require a fat wallet—just a bit of know-how and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Thanks for stopping by! Andy.
