Tech Exposure

Hi and first of all welcome to my blog!  My first post on this blog will be about the SonOff Wireless Switch I recently bought trough BangGood.  For a long time I had the urge to start automating some stuff at home, (I still live with my parents so it is to some extent that I can automate stuff without them getting annoyed ;)) I wanted to start doing this because I heard that a colleague of mine had automated many things at his house such as the lights turn on at sundown, his blinds close, his AC turns on when it is too hot inside, his heater turns on when it is too cold etc.etc.. This got me wanting to do the same thing! So when I got home I started doing some research and found out that in general it is pretty expensive unless you have much knowledge of programming and stuff, I don't at all haha. After doing some more research I found the SonOff brand and all of its awesome products. Looked at a few videos and was convinced that this was going to be my way to get in...
