I turned my old Chromebook into a Linux-powered smart hub, and it’s incredible

Since I started working here at MUO, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find ways to modernize and update my smart home. One of the biggest projects I’ve undertaken initially started out sounding like the simplest — finding a way to turn my washer and dryer into smart appliances. After starting this project, I learned that I would need either a Zigbee Hub or a way to control the notifications and sensors to work how I needed them to.
