About HASMaster

Thank you for visiting HASMaster.com, the Home Automation Services (HAS) Master site.

I’ve been building real smart homes since 2007—through fragmented platforms, abandoned products, cloud lock-ins, and a lot of wasted time.

HASMaster exists to help people benefit from and enjoy their home automation journey without repeating my mistakes.

Vision: My Life Automated

My Life Automated is a long-term HASMaster initiative to share 1,000 real-world home automation use cases that guide anyone through the why, what, and how of automation.

These Use Cases

Solve a Specific, Relatable Problem

Every use case aligns to the S.C.O.R.E model:

  • Safety – Reduce risk or prevent harm
  • Convenience – Save time or effort
  • Organization – Reduce chaos or mental load
  • Resilience – Handle failure and outages
  • Entertainment – Comfort, delight, or enjoyment

Work in a Real Home

These are real-world implementations. Most I’ve built myself; others are supported by clear evidence from real deployments.

Are Easy to Implement

This site aims to simplify and help with that:

  1. Enable practical automation
    Help anyone design and implement automations that actually work.
  2. Reduce complexity
    Use AI to clarify how devices, platforms, and automations fit together.
  3. Put users in control
    Let you decide how you engage—guides, patterns, agents, or inspiration.

Our Principles

Privacy First
Local control matters. Automations should not depend on the cloud to function.

Choice and Interoperability
No vendor should own your home. Devices must work together.

Benefits Over Cost
If the time, effort, or money outweighs the payoff, it’s not worth doing.

Enjoy the ride!
