Hey! I’m Tiago Costa — a curious mind, tech enthusiast, and someone who’s been fascinated by smart homes long before they became a trend.
I hold a degree in Computer Science, and I’ve been working in tech for over a decade. I started out as a Software Developer, and since 2019, I’ve been working as a Solutions Architect, helping teams design scalable, efficient systems.
But outside of the office, I’ve always had a passion for IoT — especially when it comes to home automation.
Why Home Automation?
Since around 2017, I’ve been experimenting with smart home technologies, not just for convenience, but to learn. I love exploring new tools, integrating different devices, and seeing how I can make my home a little smarter, a little more efficient — or sometimes just cooler.
This journey has been a mix of trial and error, creative problem-solving, and geeking out over sensors, automations, and dashboards.
What This Site Is
This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial blog.
Instead, it’s a journal of what I’ve built — a place to document:
- What I’m automating
- Why I’m doing it
- What tech I’m using
- And how everything connects
Each post is like a snapshot of a small project or experiment. They might inspire you, help you solve a problem, or give you ideas for your own setup.
Let’s Connect
If you’re into home automation, experimenting with Home Assistant, or just want to chat tech, feel free to connect with me. I love meeting people who share the same passion for making their homes smarter.
