Hello fellow smart home enthusiasts! I'm a newbie looking to dip my toes into DIY smart home projects, but I'm not sure where to begin. Can you recommend any beginner-friendly projects or starter kits that offer a good introduction to smart home technology? Whether it's setting up smart lighting, installing a smart thermostat, or creating a voice-controlled setup, I'd appreciate any guidance or resources to help me get started on my journey to a smarter home!

Have you thought about a smart security camera 🎥? I think it's a practical addition to any smart home. Though, research well to find one with good video quality, night vision, and reliable alerts.
