Author & Editor
BFGNeil
Maker, tinkerer, and IoT enthusiast. I build things, break things, and write about what I learn along the way — honest reviews, practical guides, and engineering notes that skip the fluff.
This blog exists because most coverage stops at headlines. I follow the details that actually matter after launch — how a device holds up after six months, the config quirk that trips everyone up, the stack decision that seemed obvious in retrospect.
The focus is IoT, home automation, air quality, and the maker projects that fill my bench. You'll also find software architecture notes, networking deep-dives, and the occasional product teardown.
Everything is written from hands-on experience. Ratings are based on real use, not press samples. If something breaks expectations — good or bad — I'll say so.
