This objective of this website is to inspire people who want to design and build their own stylish and environmentally friendly smart home. This site was originally a collection of research and design work and referenced my company website (smartisant.com). The company side has been shut down now that I'm fully retired. I have a very broad definition of 'smart home' and it includes much more than just technology.

This site is used to document research, projects, etc. I am not an eco-warrior but, my smart home has minimal impact on the local environment, will handle the changes coming due to climate change. It generates more energy than it uses and provides many other benefits to the surrounding area. This includes a diverse set of habitats for wildlife.

I want it to have a much further environmental reach than just the physical location of our own home, by helping to educate many other people about the materials, designs and technologies that can be used in existing homes and new house builds. I also understand that technology is just a small part of the challenge in building a sustainable home and that's why I plan to extend and widen my own knowledge as part of the process.
