Welcome! I’m Nina Alvarez, a DIY automation enthusiast who believes the best smart homes are the ones you build yourself. I started this blog to empower others to tinker, code, and create their own Alexa automations using Node-RED.
What began as a weekend hobby became a full-blown passion project. I’ve turned old switches, sensors, and even quirky gadgets into voice-controlled devices—and I share every experiment, success, and failure here.
Whether you're flashing an ESP8266 or just learning how to wire up a motion sensor, this site is for hands-on makers who love getting under the hood of home automation.
