Michael protects his garden from Raccoons with Home Assistant!

In this video I interview Michael Leen a Home Assistant fanatic that I met recently. We discuss his journey and he shares what he has learned over the years. He has developed some really cool automations like his Raccoon Deterrent! Michael will be creating a video with full details on how to setup this automation.
