I set up location-based automations, and my 1940s home finally felt like it was truly smart

Over the years, I’ve dreamed of what smart home technology could actually accomplish, but I’d be lying if I said I took full advantage of everything it could do. While the vast majority of the bulbs in my home are smart, as are my door locks and other items, I’ve always liked the idea of manually controlling them from Google Home or Alexa without having to flip switches when I need them. But after taking a bit of time and actually setting up location-based automations? I can’t go back, and it finally feels like my house is in the future.
