Real Results from Real Members

See what complete beginners have built after joining Project Smart Home.

★★★★★

"I had zero experience with automation before joining. Within a week, my lights adjust automatically based on time of day and who's home. Dylan explains everything in plain English — no jargon, no gatekeeping."

"The YAML Mastery course alone is worth 10× the price. I've built automations I never thought were possible — presence detection, adaptive lighting, and a morning briefing narrated by AI. Absolutely unreal."

★★★★★

"The personalised tech support is what sold me on Premium. I hit a wall with a complex automation — Dylan diagnosed it in under 20 minutes. You just don't get that kind of access anywhere else at this price."

✦ FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before joining.

Do I need coding or technical experience?
+
Absolutely not. Project Smart Home is designed for complete beginners. We start with the very basics and build up gradually. If you can follow a recipe, you can learn this — Dylan designed it that way deliberately.
What is Home Assistant, and do I need special hardware?
+
Home Assistant is free, open-source software that connects all your smart devices so they work together. You can start with what you already own. Our hardware guide walks you through budget-friendly setups from $0 upward — there's no big investment required to begin.
What exactly is "personalised technical support"?
+
Premium members get access to the Tech Support channel where Dylan personally reviews your specific YAML code, setup questions, and troubleshooting issues — tailored to your actual home configuration. This is one-on-one-level help, not generic advice.
How does the VIP 40% saving work?
+
Monthly Premium costs $9/month — that's $108/year. VIP annual membership is $65/year, which is a 40% saving ($43 back in your pocket). You get all the same Premium features, plus VIP-exclusive perks, for less. And your rate is locked in for life.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Yes, always. Monthly Premium members can cancel before their next billing date. VIP annual members get a full refund within 7 days, no questions asked — after that, access continues until the end of the year.
How is this different from YouTube tutorials?
+
YouTube gives scattered information with no structure and no way to get help when you're stuck. Project Smart Home gives you a curated step-by-step path, a community of people building the same things you are, and direct access to Dylan. You'll make 10× the progress in a fraction of the time.
