Ich bin Thomas Schwarz. Ich bin hauptberuflich SAP Berater und Softwareentwickler. Das Thema Smart Home hat mich nach der Sanierung unseres 60er Jahre Hauses gepackt. Es wurde alles in Eingenleistung geplant und die Buskabel verlegt. Ich betreibe seit einiger Zeit einen openHAB 2 Praxis Blog. Hier schreibe ich Schritt für Schritt Anleitungen (Tutorials) zur Umsetzung des eigenen Smart Home.
Weiterhin engagiere ich mich in unserem MyFreeLife e.V. und helfe bei der Erstellung barrierefreier Smart Homes.
Nun wird es Zeit mein breites Wissen im Bereich Smart Home mit Euch zu teilen.
