Welcome back! Great video to start off the year. As others have mentioned, I would also be curious on a room assistant video (looks like you might need raspi's for each room where you'd like the Room Assistant functionality as I think I saw one sitting next to the "banished" Echo Show 5 in the office?). Also, after watching your video on the Whole house lutron switch, I started purchasing these for my basement as/when I find a good deal (as they are super expensive otherwise and there isn't a way to buy them in bulk to get good discount). Unfortunately, the Lutron switches seem a bit cheap to touch (I realize cheap or not can be subjective). Would you recommend the TP-Link Kasa switches just as much - especially if we don't care for the Pico remote functionality tied in with the corresponding wall mounted Lutron switch? Would also appreciate if you could elaborate on how you automate the Garage lights - is it just via the ring door sensor (which I do not currently own)? I currently have my garage lights plugged into smart outlets as well and would love to automate. I tried with a motion sensor but its hard to find a spot in the garage that has visibility to the entire garage and if I am in a spot the motion sensor can't see, then it would turn off the lights after a while (I know I can tweak things a bit programmatically but have not yet set up Home Assistant for that 😀). Thanks.
@donniehdea9281
@donniehdea9281 2 роки тому
You considered more advanced scripting for the smart motion sensor, maybe only trigger every odd number of motions detected so it switches on only when someone get in the room or maybe a pair of sensors to determine people entering / exiting the room

​@@topperdude2007 Thanks! Yes that's another Raspberry Pi Zero for Room Assistant in the office. Good eye! I agree that the Lutron switches seem a bit cheap to the touch. That was pretty much my only complaint when I compared many light switches a while ago ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jqRnnJmKe55i2Hk.html From my own experience and what others have said, the Kasa dimmer switches seem to work well. I am not sure how well they would work if you were going to install 50+ Kasa dimmer switches. Since WiFi might be less reliable but if you were adding some to save on cost then I think it can be a good move. I also am buying Lutron switches when they are on sale every time I see them. For the garage lights I would add a contact sensor on the door and when the door opens, have an automation turn on the smart outlet. Then in that same automation have a delay for 10 minutes (or how ever long you want) and then turn off the lights. I'm using the Ring contact sensor and it's using an Alexa Routine for triggering those automations. You could also use some ZigBee contact sensors with an Echo 4th Gen, SmartThings, Hubitat...etc.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ukposts.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

I too am very interested in the room assistant video! I've been working on an idea for a single Google Home speaker system with multiple satellite speakers wire in and some sort of program that would allow me to cast to the singular speaker but choose to have it play on the main body speak and satellite speakers or targeted satellite speakers or even follow me from room to room as I move through the space. This might be the software to get me there!

I have a 150lb bloodhound who knows when its time to go to bed when I tell Alexa, to turn off the TV at night, & he tries to answer Alexa whenever my parents call. He stands by the one in the living room & cries until he can see their faces. He also knows when the backyard gate is opened & runs to the kitchen window to see who enters! Now if I could only get her open the doors to let him out to go potty & back in.... Also in the next year I want to see that network rack in an enclosure with some smart home sensors for temperature & security! :)

@sakis86s

Or you can just create a scene when you power on TV using broadlink or switchbot hub or a smart remote to skip motion detection to the sensor between specific hours if you like and activate the sensor again with a power off scene of your TV.

Absolutely great automations. My unique concern is: With so many things from different brands and suppliers, I may have to end up building a "SERVER" room the way you did. This is the unique point that puts me off for so many stuff at the moment. Plus the amount of different apps you would have to use your phone and house, jezzz.
@christianramsvik77
@christianramsvik77 2 роки тому
There are some ways to avoid having all kinds of apps; I have that exact concern; I don't want to use a dozen apps to control different things. I am currently playing with Athom Homey that installs an app (for integrating the hardware, really) for each vendor, but you can control all the things from the homey app, be it IKEA bulbs, Philiips Hue bulbs, Aquara sensors etc etc. I have stuff from a few different vendors. It speaks Zigbee, Z-wave, WiFi, Bluetooth, 433MHz, IR and possibly more "languages", and is meant to be able to replace all the hubs from the different vendors. It works fine WITH the hubs too though; I still keep my Philips Hue hub. It has some really nice automation features (flows) as well. I think it is very similar to Home Assistant, but without having to set up the linux box etc. And lots of nice apps already on the list. You can read more about it on athom.com (I have no affiliation, I'm just a happy user so far)

I had a very similar problem your motion sensor issue in the living room. My solution I added an automation in home assistant that when the tv is playing the lights automatically turn off and set a helper state to watching then the reverse for pause. Then in my motion light automation I set a condition using the helper. It's a super nice quality of life automation plus people think it's really cool when you press play and pause and the lights toggle that way.

2:36 There is a simple solution to prevent that too. I have similar issue where my kids are napping and I do not want the automation to run. Make a virtual switch and maybe call it "Movie Switch". Now either automate the turning on of that virtual switch by monitoring the power usage of the projector or turning it on via voice command/routine "it's movie time", etc. Then have all the lights/switches you do not want to go on while a movie is running to check whether that switch (Movie Switch) is on (indicating movie is playing). Voila, lights automation stop working while movie is playing. To take it another step further. You can automate light strip on floor to only work when movie is on thus lighting up a path when people need to get up for bathroom breaks.

Haha thanks Henry! Sure making a video like that sounds great. I was thinking about making some getting started videos soon so I'll make sure to talk about that. I appreciate the suggestion!

Great video. I started working on my home about 6 months ago. Replaced all of my switches with Lutron. I have my floor lamps, night stand lamps and TVs on Eve Plugs, Circle View Doorbell, motion sensors in all the bathrooms, laundry room and garage. HomePod mini in every room and garage. Just ordered some Lutron shades. I'm all Homekit. I would like to get smart washer and dryer, but I haven't seen any that work with Homekit. Hopefully Matter will solve this problem. Once again, great video.

I am in vegas, and we are building from the ground up... we close in October or so. This is great info. Currently looking up Lutron Switches as I am not familiar. I only mess with Phillip Hue. Great video and information.

Great video Reed! You've given me a fair few ideas to try out, thanks. I was wondering if there's a reason you don't use outlets with built-in USB ports to power your devices, rather than using the wall-warts?
@GreeniusGenius
@GreeniusGenius 2 роки тому
Well USB ports in an outlet isn’t good, mainly because they are almost always USB-A ports, which means they can’t support power delivery, which means they’ll be slow for anything with a sizeable battery. USB-C PD can output over a 100W of power.

I love most of this and I really appreciate that you only made smart switches for things that make sense such as your pantry. Only part I can't get behind is a google display next to your bed. Your eyes have photo receptors that can pick up light even through your eyelids and it can mess with your circadian rhythm (aka. not getting full, restful sleep)

What a really nice gentleman you seem to be. I have recently suffered brain damage and quite a few of these wonderful apps would be Fab as we say here over the pond! I will be saving up for quite a while from now to make life a little easier!!! I hope that i will be able to fix, install etc myself. If not I will punch into your broadcast on a regular basis. ( I will anyway ). Well thank you for posting this 'Info-Tube' . I wish all the best to you and your family. Cheers Leeroy

You can also use the Philips motion sensors as light level sensors. I used to use it that way to measure cloudiness and turn on the lights

Great video and lots of great ideas. We have a smart home also but not as smart as yours. One thing I did do was to take my smart smoke detectors and interface them with my Vera system to turn off all fans in the event of a smoke alarm. Vera also turns on all the lights to make exiting the house much easier. A single scene then can reset everything for testing and false alarms.

Finally an updated house tour! The Samsung frame tv should integrate into home assistant, I have my Samsung added to HA with the integration and I set a condition for my living room motion sensor to only turn the lights on if the television is off. This way if the television is on and someone walks in, the lights don’t turn on. You may want to give that a shot….also in my other rooms since HA doesn’t have the option to determine if a switch was turned on by motion or by the Caseta switch, I set a condition that makes sure the light is off before triggering the motion command and when the light is activate by motion I have it set to 93%. I use the 93% for the turn off condition so the motion does not turn off a light that is set to any other brightness.

Awesome walk through, I just stumbled across your channel while looking to going to the G4 Pro doorbell from Ring Pro. I could tell from your doorbell video that you where in the South West, but once I saw the arial view I noticed that we are practically neighbors (Queen Creek here). I have a long way to go catch up with you, my wife will probably hate that I found this.

Another great video, Reed! I always enjoy seeing someone else's set up. I might be a tad envious. 😅 I noticed you have an extra Ecobee thermostat in your master bedroom. Do you have a separate HVAC unit just for you master?! That's genius! My wife would love that for our room only. 🤣
