Home Automation Demo with Home Assistant, Raspberry Pi, LIFX, and More

This is a demo video of my home automation system that utilizes Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi. Connected devices include LIFX bulbs, WIFI cameras, Android devices (via Tasker), and a myriad of homemade ESP8266 devices. \r
\r
Most people think having a connected home or apartment is out of reach or very expensive. It isnt at all! You could easily build a robust automation system for less than $150. \r
