Hi there, thanks for visiting "The Smart Maker"!
My name is Bart and this blog is a tryout to share my knowledge I gained along my maker journey. As a full-time father of two and professional innovation consultant I re-energize myself by combining my head and hands in maker projects. And you can join me from now on, on my journey into the world of smart technology.
With this blog you enter the exciting realm of making your life smarter. I will be your guide, a passionate technology enthusiast, constantly on the quest to make my life easier. I see a lot of things around me sold by big tech companies, and mostly I think, ‘can I built this myself?’ Mostly this is cheaper, but always it is more fun. This does not mean that you will only find DIY guides. However, there is some soldering, 3d printing and programming going on. I think it is safe to say I can call myself a thinkerer.

I live together with my two sons and wife in our smart home. I build this house in 2014 and added all kinds of technology to it. Thing about smart lighting, motion sensors, air quality sensors, heating, alarm, energy monitoring etc. Now we live in a house that lives with us and we benefit from this every day. This is something I want to share with you.
I will share my knowledge, experiences, and discoveries as I start with various smart-making projects. You can expect in-depth tutorials, step-by-step guides, and insightful articles that demystify the process of making things smart and safe some money by doing it your own.
