Today we dive into one of the MOST relatable smart home debates of all time:
“Are our smart homes making our kids useless?” 😆
Between robot vacuums, automated lawn care, chore dashboards, and voice assistants doing everything except raise our children, Pete wonders if his smart home is actually ruining his kids — and he has a plan involving UniFi networks, chore checklists, and cutting off the internet until the work gets done. (What could go wrong?)
We’re also joined by Aaron from the Make It Work YouTube channel, who talks about:
✅ His epic smart home setup
✅ Parenting with automations
✅ WLED, Home Assistant, UniFi, SmartWings, and more
✅ AND the insane story of how his entire YouTube channel was HACKED on Christmas Eve 😱
(it’s wild — you’ll want to hear this one)
