Hey Slover Family Lights friends and family!
A lot of you have asked over the years about how the light show works, how the automation is set up, and how different smart home devices can work together.
I’ve always enjoyed building this stuff — from automated lights and custom controls to Home Assistant, Zigbee, Matter, Alexa, sensors, energy monitoring, and all the little automations that make a house run smoother.
So I’m testing the waters on something new:
I started a local Nextdoor page for The Automation Guy, where I’ll be helping Poulsbo and Kitsap neighbors set up, fix, and simplify their smart home systems.
This could be anything from getting smart lights and switches working, cleaning up too many apps, fixing broken automations, setting up Home Assistant, or just helping someone figure out where to start.
No hard sell. Just local, practical smart home help from someone who genuinely enjoys this stuff.
If you’re interested, curious, or know someone nearby who could use help, check out my Nextdoor page here:

Thanks for supporting Slover Family Lights and all the fun tech behind it!
