Are you REALLY into home automation? Do you like knowing exactly how much energy your house consumes? Do your sprinklers turn on at the sound of your voice? Did you hack your fridge to let you know when it’s time to buy more milk? If this describes you at all, Hackaday has a contest for you.

We’ve partnered with Hackaday to once again see where your hacking takes you. If home automation is the name of your game, we’d like to see what you can do. Hackaday has several categories with several ways your home automation efforts just might pay off. Up for grabs are three shopping sprees worth $150 on us. Pretty sweet, right?

So, what are you waiting for? Home is Where the Hacks Are!

Contest starts on February 20th, 2024, and ends on April 16th, 2024, 9:00 am PDT.

You can find more information, including the legal fine print, right here on Hackaday.io
