About Adam Davidson

Adam has a degree in Engineering, having always had a fascination with how tech works. Tech websites have saved him hours of tearing his hair out on countless occasions, and he enjoys the opportunity to pay it forward by writing articles that may be able to save other people from hours of tech frustration, too.

Adam is a big fan of home automation, having used software such as OpenHAB and Home Assistant for almost a decade to make his smart home a little smarter. His most recent project was using Home Assistant to turn a wireless keyboard/remote into a universal remote for all his AV devices after his Harmony remote died.

What was your first phone?

My first smartphone was an iPhone 3GS.

When did your interested in technology begin?

My Dad has always been in computers and other tech, so I don't really remember a time when I wasn't interested in technology.

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

I love smart home products that serve a genuinely useful purpose, rather than being smart for the sake of it. A video doorbell can be genuinely useful in your day-to-day life, a smart bidet not so much.
