Welcome to VacationHomeAutomation.com, your premier resource for transforming vacation homes, cottages, and cabins into smart, secure getaways. I’m Larry Robertson, and my journey in vacation home automation is deeply rooted in a lifetime of experience and passion for technology and home construction.
A Foundation in Home Construction
Growing up in southeastern Michigan, I was immersed in the world of home construction from a young age. My father, a residential builder who constructed over 200 homes, instilled in me a profound understanding and appreciation for this craft. This early exposure laid the groundwork for my deep interest in the field, leading me to obtain my residential builder’s license in 1991.
Bridging IT Expertise and Home Automation
My decades long professional career in IT equipped me with a meticulous eye for detail and accuracy—skills that I seamlessly integrated into my passion for home construction and automation. In 1999, my wife and I purchased our lakefront cottage, marking the beginning of a hands-on adventure in transforming traditional homes into intelligent, connected spaces.
A Unique Perspective on Vacation Home Automation
My unique perspective blends IT expertise, home construction knowledge, and a genuine love for home automation. This fusion allows me to approach vacation home automation holistically, ensuring that every solution I explore and recommend is not only technologically sound but also structurally solid and seamlessly integrated.
Your vacation home is more than a property; it’s a getaway, a sanctuary. Ensuring its security, efficiency, and comfort, even when you’re miles away, is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. From intelligent monitoring to advanced security solutions like Reolink security cameras and smart thermostats, my hands-on experience is the foundation of the insights I share on this platform.
