Our goal at Automate Life is help you get the most out of your home and living spaces.
We understand how time-consuming it is to connect and set up new technology, and we’re here to help you through that process, whether it’s helping you to discover some great products in our shop that you might like to buy for your home, or helping you get set up and solve issues with products that you already have.
We share what we know and what we continue to learn to take the frustration out of smart home technology so that you can spend your valuable time doing the things you love.
Automatelife.net today
Our mission is simple: we want automatelife.net to be THE PLACE to come to learn about smart homes and discover products that might suit your home and living areas.
Automate Life has evolved over the years from a fun blog where Brian shared helpful advice with a small audience of smart home enthusiasts to a trusted smart home brand, reaching millions.
We have a shop where we showcase hundreds of great products that you might like buy for your home, we work with brands to bring you the latest announcements about what’s coming and any interesting news about smart homes, we provide a lot of free information on our website to help you to fix common problems that you might have with products in your home and our presence on social media and other channels has grown a lot since those early days when it was just Brian.
We now have over 167,000 subscribers on YouTube and that number is growing rapidly.
We have a FB page, an active FB group that you can join, Twitter, Instagram, and a free weekly email that you can receive if you would like all of the latest announcements, news, and deals delivered to your inbox each week.
Brian also has help these days…
Natsuki joined the team in 2023 as our Director of Content and Operations and is responsible for the accuracy and quality of everything you read on this website.
He has almost a decade of experience working for both Vivent and ADT, the two biggest smart home companies in the United States.
Marty joined the team in 2023 as our Business Development Manager and is responsible for growing the AutomateLife brand beyond what you see here on this website. He has a strong track record for growing businesses into new channels and forming strategic alliances.
Marty will be a valuable addition to the team as we grow into the next phase of our business.
Brian is still the face of our Youtube channel and brings a wealth of experience both in terms of his tech knowledge, but also with his ability to explain complicated concepts in an engaging way on camera.
How It Started
Automatelife.net was started by Brian back in 2017 with a simple setup video for our Google Home… which was later taken down because it was so bad.
However, automation and computers have been a part of Brian’s life since he was 12. From the day he brought home his first computer (a Pentium 1, 75 MHz beast), he has loved everything about technology and its rapid growth. He always loves integrating it into his own life, so it’s an easy extension to help others integrate it into theirs too.
After he graduated with his degree in Computer Engineering, he immediately started working for a software company. He learned about testing automation, and then quickly left to join an industrial automation company. There, he learned to automate everything from pumps to valves, and everything in between.
Nowadays, Brian automates everything in his life using consumer-level electronics. He also teaches people how to integrate those, and more complicated devices, into their lives. It’s something he genuinely has a passion for.
