The dog really completes the home! The Voice Dimmer is too cool! I never know I needed that. Great Video!

Yes! Thanks for the Humidity-Sensor-Coffee Idea 👍

Now THIS is a cool smart home! Jimmy's got some really creative ideas for me to steal. Love this video! Really enjoying the viewer smart home tours

Great video Reed and nice house and automations that seem functional for you and your family Jimmy. Although I didn’t find any automation ideas I’d find personal useful for me but it just proofs that there is no perfect smart home. A smart home is something that should be tailored around YOUR need not just bunch of tech devices smashed together and you Jimmy did a good job automating your home.

Its been some time since I watched an automation house tour. This is amazing and I definitely will be copying some of these 🤓

the toothbrush automation is brilliant! well done!

This was great until he mentioned he keeps the dog locked up in a cage when they are not home 😞

Jimmy is the man! I'm so glad you two did this video!

this guy's house and automations are awesome. seems like he's got it all set up perfectly. I am jealous!

I've been itching to see Jimmy's house ever since I first found out about his videos! Awesome to see!

Cool! Thanks for sharing Reed/Jimmy.

This is the best smart home video that I've seen so far. You have presented about five ideas that I haden't thought about, quite how you've done it. I loved the coffee done notification.

That is an insanely cool house!

This is like a tech CRIBS 😂

Thanks for stopping by Reed! See you at CES!

Glad to see I've got basically all those automaions and more already covered. Maybe I should be doing a house tour 🤣

Nice setup! I’ll add this video to the smart home tour playlist

"....and this is my MyQ garage door opener" Me: "Oh no..."

Some really cool ideas in Jimmys smart home that i wouldnt have ever thought of. I certainly acknowledge that his dog is cute, whar breed is it? The vibratoon sensor on a rope is genious! Im loving these smart home tours, extremely interesting how others conceive smart ideas and implement them. I' m looking forward to the next instalment.

Wow what an amazing house! Love these tours!

You guys sound exactly the same, too funny. Thanks for the great ideas

Thanks! I have to add, Jimmy.

that coffee maker steam thing was a cool idea

You had me at the Toothbrush.

Two of the greatest!

Great video thank you. Burglars need not worry about the flashing blue and red lights, they need to worry about that hound, it's a savage killer!

Amazing 👏

GO JACKETS! THWG!

I was just saying the same thing about the echo flex! Still love mine as well.

OMG…OMG…OMG… Ssooo jealous. Seriously so awesome.

Would love to hear a little bit more details of how he implemented the Oral B IQ in the Smarthome. This is pure genius and the perfect indicator for letting the house start or end the day. Would love to do the same.

Amazing home

Great video. Wish my home was like that maybe someday. I need to put some lights under cabinets in the kitchen. I have two sets of cabinets and there are across from each other in the kitchen so it looks like I’d have to have two separate systems. Any suggestions would really help. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.

RGB led strips is indeed a fun idea. though I prefer single color/CCT Only thing I am missing is a overview of his dashboard. Like with temperature sensors, I have a large amount of them even though I only have 8 rooms [including the hallway] and have around 2-3 sensors in each room, just so I have multiple datapoints, which is especially usefull if you use something like a Infared heating panel. and need multiple overrides over the default hvac controller/entities. not forgetting having Failsafe on top of Failsafe on top of Failsafe.

I have a similar automation on my smart blinds but without the light sensor. The whole house has Hunter Douglas motorized blinds. In the great room at sunset, we get blasted at the dining room table. For a few months we manually closed the blinds but I was able to check what time those commands came in through Home Assistant. Using the NOAA page I was able to figure out that the sun was at 20 degrees elevation when it was offensive so using the Sun Add On, I then set up the blinds to close at 25 degrees and reopen at 5 degrees when the sun is behind the house behind us. That first winter, the shades started closing at about 4pm and there was no sun. Turns out it starts setting at an angle that doesn't disrupt. Again, using the NOAA site, I was able to set conditions that only close the shades if the azimuth is within a certain range. Next, I need a better understanding of weather conditions states to only have it closing when it's sunny out.

I count nine different kinds of light switches. That would drive me nuts. And rather than putting a sensor above the coffee maker, probably should move the coffee machine to not be under the wine.

Hey Reed, Thanks for the videos... Great job! I have a question about Wi-Fi... How many devices do you have on Wi-Fi and have you noticed any issues with your network as you've increased the amount of devices? I use TP Link mesh networking, previously M5 (still have 1 unit in backyard in my swim spa, which runs backyard Nest Cameras), upgraded to X60, then swapped that for XE75 (4 units) with the 1 M5. Have just over 100 WiFi (10+ are Ethernet) devices (M5 rated for 100, XE75 rated for up to 200) along with 30+ sensors or devices connected via other connections. Normal running in Deco App I currently have approx 80 devices online... Have some Google speakers on smart switches to turn them off and on if no one is using them to limit traffic, other stuff isn't connected (TV's etc) when not turned on. Issue according to Tp Link is the amount of packets and 2.4Ghz congestion... I have 9 Google Home speakers (2 are Nest Hub Max, camera off when people home) and 7 Nest Cameras which are using the most Data when the Xbox isn't being used! Do to the speakers always being connected; during a remote session with their senior tech support guys in Taiwan they got me to unplug the speakers, Chromecast, and Google TV's... Which then obviously reduced the traffic on the network but stabilized it so everything else ran better. They also gave me some firmware so my 4 XE75 nodes run on 2 or 3 different channels on the 2.4Ghz band (channel 1 - 6 - 11 is what they run off of) this seemed to fix the issue but occasionally the network still crashes and a total reboot is required, especially if I have everything running. I usually notice that there is an issue when I get a notification that a camera has been offline for 10 minutes or I see a Wi-Fi switch has a red light. Have you experienced anything like this? TP Link has been great to work with btw... I've had multiple remote sessions with them and some firmware updates pushed out were from troubleshooting my network. I tend to push their products to the limit!

this actually cool

Good afternoon which motion sensor is shown on the TV, I cannot find it in the Amazon list. would like to know this

Very nice house, beautiful house. I just basically made everything Lutron Caseta in mine and made it easy. Too funny, my buddy has the same fandelier in his house.

Not sure if you have this planned already but you should put out a Black Friday video of good deals to check out! I'm planning on loading up on a bunch of smart home stuff but its been a lot of work researching what to get and what not to get

He's got Reed's inflection down purrrfect

Jimmy, Go Jackets!

Hello Reed! What would you suggest for a bathroom? A motion sensor, or a presence sensor? Which one would you suggest of either of those? I have a Samsung SmartThings Desktop Hub. I just switched over to it from Hubitat C7.

Can you share a link to the washer set up. Our laundry is in the garage this would be so so helpful

This is really interesting. I'd be really interested to see a rundown sometime of the energy cost of the smart home setup e.g. if you have motion sensors on lights that turn off if noone's in the room, how much money do you save with the smart home not running the lights vs the cost of running the smart sensor??

11:15 I’ve got this in my room. It’s really cool and looks like a literal normal light when the fans off!

I’ve been confused for awhile on the Lutron switches? They can’t set scenes can they? They can’t change the color of bulbs can they? Amazing house.

I would really love a tutorial about that washer dryer automation. That is one thing I've never been able to figure out in my house. And I can't find much information on setup with alexa

So cool

Even the dog is smart 🤩

Nice video!

I have mostly Lutron Caseta smart switches in my house except Lutron does not have a door sensor. This seems like a real gap in their product. I have several closets and pantry’s that when the door is open I want the lights on and off when the door closes. Currently I’m using Zigbee switches with Thirdreality door sensors with an Alexa routine. The Zigbee devices are using the Amazon Alexa built in Zigbee hub. Any recommendations, I really want all Lutron switches and don’t want to rely on the Alexa hub.

Lots of good tips here. 13:05 a rubber garage opener is much quieter and cheap if you fit it yourself.

Cool home, i really like the Eve flare. I dont have any Apple products is there a way to control it with Android or home assistant?

I like the fandelier

Wow, having been in the smart Home realm for nearly a decade, many don't appreciate the YEARS of updates and setup required to create this smart house, I very much do. While I love the automation, the marathon of updates and broken recipes are a life sucker. My question is, does the "Home Assistant" solve those issues? Second question is, I put my stock in Wemo.. and it has been a roller Coaster of a ride of coin tossing reliability. Will Thread solve it? Or do you recommend a different Thread/Matter provider to jump ship too?

9:28 How do you "automatically" shut off your water main? Is there a remote valve that he has installed he's referring to?

Seems like the upkeep for all those systems would take more time and energy than the time saved.

I thought his realization was going to be 'this steam is messing up my wine' 😂

The iPhone wont allow to connect to 2.4ghz I cant connect any smart devices Can u make a video about that turning router to only accept 2.4ghz doesn’t work we need help

What type of smart switch is that for the laundry machine. I would like to get the same one.

how tall are you? or r u stepping up on something?

what was the smart plug on the washer? I’d love to have that for my tv receiver if it can handle the power

If anyone knows a way to have a means of determining if the plow goes by in the winter. If want to be a waken up earlier if that happens over night

Jimmy, I see the Smoke Wagons and Four Roses SiBs... A man of good taste.

oh my god i need this faucet.

What vibration sensor is that on the dog bell? It’s a great idea.

I thought the smart thermometer above the coffee maker would be for indication of high temp near wine, not to alert about fresh coffee 🤣🤣 Not sure if there is any quality/expensive/nice wine, but if there is, its probably a good idea to move the coffee machine away from those bottles

he just called me dumber than a light switch in 100 different ways

What was the plug you used for the washing machine? Know of any other smart microwaves?

What shades are in your bathroom? Can you give an exact product name?

Jimmy, do you experience any lag when syncing two zooz light switches? I didn't use to have any problem with my GE enbrighten z-wave switches when I was on smartthings but since switches to HA, I've notice a pretty serious lag.

Why not mmwave presence sensors?

Interesting. Dunno about the Jasco Z-wave dimmers though. They have proven unreliable for me. Also not sure about so much battery operated Z-wave. Would be a continuous battery patrol to keep it running.

I’m just curious what the iPod nano is being used for 😂

If the govee strips on the shelves are one strip how did connect them on the 3 shelves since the shelves isn’t one straight shelf, it’s 3 different shelves yet you run one strip on all 3? How

And now I want to see how the Garage works after the change of the "Integrations"

You should meet "Cables & Coffee" here in Sweden! His smart home is crazy & he have a UKposts channel too. 😀

Hi, what is the name of this hub from samsung? this thing in the master bedroom, i´m looking for this if this available here in germany

Given Lewis's recent MyQ video, what is Jimmy planning to replace his garage door opener with?

Wow...that puppy cage is so small 😢

Nice setup. I think the dog training bell sensor is a solution to a self created limitation though. My dog finds me and asks to go out, that's far simpler and far more reliable, no bells or sensors required, just Sam asking.

RIP his My-Q garage door

I'm wondering what you guys are doing for a living, your houses seem to be very big and luxurious

Amazing home tour. It's amazing what you can do when you have the funds to do it.

Biggest game changer for me is the fact that you can have your Echo Flex clock upside down.

4:35 what kind of switches are these?

7:45 HOLD UP, I have zooz dimmers, how do you set up the mirroring association thing? 😮

Is that some smart bourbon I noticed in the background?

how to get that wireless charging phone to do all that

How does this guy DONT have a UKposts channel??

Great video, but do you have to reset everything if the power blinks during a storm or heavy rain? 👀💯

Now I have someone else to follow 🤦‍♂️🤣😇

Wow. Is that an echo flex. Why the hell did Amazon stop producing the flex.

I'm looking for the cord Jimmy had installed on his washing machine. I don't see it on his store front and it's not popping up on Amazon. Can you help?

Go Jackets! Nice house and some good automatons.

We all know that jimmy doesn’t brush his teeth in the morning 😊

Jimmy sounds exactly the same as the host of the show
