Hi, I’m Erica Lane, and I created Smart Home Routines to help busy families and individuals simplify daily life through automation. Whether it’s a morning wake-up flow or a bedtime routine that gets the lights dimmed and the house locked, I’m passionate about turning repetitive tasks into smart, seamless experiences.
After years of experimenting with Alexa, Node-RED, and various smart devices, I realized routines aren’t just about convenience—they're about peace of mind. This blog is where I share real-world setups, practical guides, and creative ideas to help others craft personalized routines that actually work.
From “good night” automations to multi-step morning triggers, I write every post with clarity and real-life usefulness in mind. Whether you're new to smart homes or a tinkerer like me, there's something here for you.
