About Living High Tech

My goal with Living High Tech is to be a resource for home automation, smart home technology and high-tech gadgets. 

The main focus is how to use Amazon’s Alexa to add voice control for you smart home. This site centers around reviews of the latest smart home products, how-to articles and videos to answer all the questions you didn’t even know to ask.

About Jason

(the creator of livinghightech.com)

I’ve been interested in tech and home automation for over 25 years.  It all started for me with the idea of building a home theater.  In the last two decades, a lot has changed in home automation.  With each change, we have been introduced to new products systems and protocols.  Technology has shifted from hardwired systems to wireless, and from keypads to voice control.  All these changes can be difficult to keep up with, but luckily, systems continue to become easier to install and use.
