Webinar: BYOTech & Nosh – A Smart Home Walkthrough with Sam Gaudet

Cheers! Sam Gaudet walked us through his modest smart home setup, and shared his endeavors and decision-making process for various parts of his solution. Recording available by the end of May; Materials List available below.

Having lights turn on as dusk, turning a car on with your voice, adjusting the thermostat from anywhere in the world are just a few of the simple, but convenient tasks that Sam will demonstrate. Feel free to invite any homeschooling teenagers as well!

On our first-ever “BYO Tech & Nosh” we featured Maine / Northern-New-England sourced beverages/snacks our host, speaker, and select viewers bring to the session. Share with us about your fare of choice during BYO Tech & Nosh in the chat feature and we’ll call it out at these events! Email us in advance at programs(at)mtug.org and — if your beverage/snack comes from an establishment with a good online product listing and/or order form — we’ll include it in our announcements! Must be online by 4pm to play along!

What is the purpose of the BYO Tech & Nosh webinars?

• Many of us are working remotely at home with whatever equipment we have — these sessions may include sharing of the tech tweaks for our home environments. Sessions may also cover less-business-focused “after-work” tech subjects.
• MTUG’s “Peers & Beers” sessions are not possible right now — but there are lots of local vittles vendors we’d love to feature! Share with us your local baked goods, libation, take-out vendors of choice — we’ll get your favorite Maine/NorthN.E. purveyors some visibility!

MTUG thanks volunteer board members Mark Hopper and Eugene Slobodzian for their assistance coordinating this session
