Also, is the auto-on guard a Ring alarm-specific automation? I've only used Guard about 3 times when I went on vacation because I have to enable it manually. I also have no Smartthings setup. I'm an Alexa/Ghome/Wyze/IFTTT/Life 360 home
@SmartHomeSolver 3 роки тому
@Mark Smith glad to hear you like the standing desk automation! I can't find where I read it but I think Alexa guard might be compatible with some other alarm systems. It's compatible with ADT in the same way. You can create an Alexa routine to automatically set Alexa guard to away when you leave the house or from some other trigger. But there isn't a way to automatically disable Alexa guard with connecting it to an alarm system.

The amount of programming routines into Smarthings, Alexa, Home hub, etc etc to pull all this off must be epic. Then the spreadsheets to keep track of them all for reference and maintenance boggles the cranium. My ex hated automation and despised my little echo dot when it gave me the news flash each morning.

You really don't need to program anything lol. This is just a big state machine with smaller subsystems. He just made it relatively easy to follow along if you were to follow it. I also don't know if he coded anything. He could have, but most likely the things he bought already do most of what he wanted it to do. He just needed to include the new states in the existing routines. Anyway, my point is, it's not as much as you might have originally thought.

All these ideas are so amazing, I like the exercise routine and I can't just help to be amazed about how creative one person can be, I have a suggestion and doubt, do you use a system to keep all the cameras together? cause I am thinking in using Ajax, if you are not familiar with it, its a system that allows to synchronize and keep all the cameras in one single place, now I wonder if it can synchronize with Alexa? cause in here she seems to do way much more, definitely, it would be good to know, thank you beforehand.

@milanmask4986 2 роки тому
I'm willing to bet that it's more expensive to use the system from Amazon. In addition, it is completely unsafe and stupid, since using this system you become completely vulnerable to hackers only because there is an open channel in the security protocols for the police, who in turn can monitor you through your own cameras as much as they want. Attackers can also do this through the same channels. If you want security, then leave ajax and do not look for alternatives. In my opinion, this will be the most correct solution.

@asnpcwiz 3 роки тому
Nice man, love the automation. I have a lot of these around my house already but you gave me some good ideas. Have you thought of just adding a smart garage door and locks? That way when you set the alarm for sleep or scene to ‘bedtime’ you can just automate auto lock everything. Beats just have the light notify you the garage door is open and then you still need to get out of bed to go close it. Honestly probably my favorite automation I have in the house. I’m usually the last to bed and first to rise so it’s nice to have the automation also turn off all the lights.
@lisadae5953 3 роки тому

I'd love to see how you've set up all the wiring and plugs for all the lights and light strips, especially in the kitchen. We don't have a whole lot of outlets where I could easily hide the cables, so that's one of my main challenges to get wife-approval for adding more smart lights to the house

@Longie 3 роки тому
Some of these ideas are awesome. At first, I liked the pressure sensor turning things on (eg if you have an alarm go off every day but one day is a public holiday, you might not want your morning routine to start when the alarm is stopped), though I wonder how it would work if you get up to get a glass of water or visit the bathroom. The NFC chips are a great idea, especially with people working from home, which obviously has become more frequent recently. One thing that blew me away was that 'if you haven't opened the backdoor after 8pm and go into the kitchen, it reminds you to take the rubbish out', that is crazy (and something I sorely need, haha). And the TV pausing if someone rings your doorbell is a very nice touch also. Thanks heaps for the video!

What I'm always wondering is - how do those automation work when you want to do something else at the moment. Let's say you have automation controlling blinds. But for whatever reason you manually changed the blinds level and you don't want it to be changed for example when you turn on TV and the automation would normally close them. My point is - there are always scenarios possible that you didn't think about in your automation, how to deal with that?

After 2 trips to IKEA and some minor tinkering I came to find out that the bulb only changes from white, bright white and warm white. Any suggestions on other bulbs or light strips that will work with the Strybar remote? I really want this idea to work!

@Longie 3 роки тому
(long comment, apologies in advance) On another note, I recently bought an alarm clock (won't mention names or provide links in case that's a UKposts no-no), that integrates with my Google assistant. I toggle the 'morning routine' on so when I stop the alarm, it tells me the weather and time, plays music on my office/computer room speaker (yet to install automatic blind openers, but will do that), boils my smart kettle, turns on my bathroom lights and sends a request to IFTTT which goes to my raspberry pi and plays music on it. The pi is hooked up behind a DIY smart mirror (in the bathroom) I made which shows me the weather, news, time, traffic/transit times to my office if I need to go in and my daily and weekly calendar. The mirror also has an led strip behind it which changes colour depending on the weather in case I miss the speaker from the alarm or I leave say 2 hours after my alarm and it's now raining. It also uses a camera for motion and face detection for different dashboards/display (eg not everyone wants the same info when the walk in or even want the screen displaying anything). This allows me to listen to music in the shower/getting ready, kettle boiled with a 'keep warm' setting to ensure it's still hot for coffee/tea when I'm finished in the bathroom and at a glance, I can see how long I have to get ready for work (if not working from home) and also any meetings I have for the day (in case I need to wear a collared shirt, be available at a specific time, etc). I'm sure you could extend this functionality ten fold, just thought I'd mention it in case you decide to add these or even if it gives you further ideas for more content

Hey gotta say love the vid and your set up is class. Have u got a video on how to set up led strip lights where they glow up gradually

Here is an idea. Newer toilette have separate #1 and #2 flushes so automate a way to detect the #2 flush and light up the bathroom door red to warn family members not to enter. Light goes off after 10 minutes when the smell clears. Also have the vent run on timer to ensure the vent continue after you get out.

That's a good automation idea! I might have to use that one.

Hi Reed. Great vid as always. One question: Now that Samsung is phasing out their multipurpose sensors, which open/close sensors would you recommend for SmartThings?
