If you get some sort of weird message when you try to add saying https doesn't work try restarting your Home assistant. that fixed my issue. Thanks for something simple without a bunch of fluff!

Thank you, this was really too easy. Don't know why I didn't do this earlier. You're a lifesaver

Thanks buddy. Easy to the point - Keep making tutorials

If you don’t have an exhaust fan while soldering just use a regular fan to blow the fumes away from you. Thanks for this.

Thank you Jake

Thank you Sir for the video!!! Newbie and this was a great find!

Thank you for creating this tutorial, I was seaching fo how to have a cloud backup

THANK YOU! Beautifully succinct.

As a novice I am so very appreciative of your level of detail! Thank you so much

Just getting error "not a valid add-on repository"

Thank you. I just want to add that if someone sees a blank UI, close the browser and open again and try. or try deleting cookies/cache for that page as well.

Thanks 😊

excellent .. many many thanks for your help!

Glad this was here, I had to reconfigure my smart plug because I recently changed my wifi names (My router has 2.4ghz and 5ghz and having it use both on one name was causing problems so I separated them and named them respectively... in case anyone was wondering WHY i changed names). I was able to figure out how to connect the plug to new access point but couldn't remember what else needed to be fixed. for some reason my home asst ip changed at some point too (after the access point change... like more than a month after) this video helped me figure out how to update that.

Thank you for the video..... I fixed my Vertical Stack in my UI. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the video! No second wasted.

You saved me soooo much time! My dogs and I thank you very much

Thank you for the quick and incredibly useful guide.

Thank you

Hello Jake, Awesome to see you back at it with your videos! I'm totally digging the Pet Automatic Feeder one - it's super cool, and I'm actually working on putting that project together myself right now. You've gotta toss that PET FEEDER project up on your site - it's a hit waiting to happen! And hey, big thanks for serving our country. You're a rockstar!

Hi, thanks for the video. Will this method also backup zha configuration for if the zha dongle fails?

You have a really good presentation style. I hope you do more videos.

Great to have you back, buddy!

Hello Bauer, Awesome job with the feeder! It’s so simple yet super effective. Your video is not just informative but also really inspiring. I'm all about using ESPHome and servos for DIY stuff too, so seeing your project is super cool. It's got me pumped to try out similar things. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Keep 'em coming - they're just perfect!"

Now can you please do a smart kitter litter tray? You'll see I've commented on another guy's build, but he's done it with an Arduino, hard to pull into home assistant.

Do we have to use mqtt or can we connect via WiFi to the smart plug?

Have you considered designing a pcb to be purchased from pcb way? Seems like you could cut time of the electronics build portion in half. I’d design my own based on your video but I have no idea what I’m doing lol

We have a fat cat as well... but I really needed intructions on using a servo for flood lights hidden in bird boxes in the garden :-)

What power adapter do i use to power that device?

Great Video!

I like the last part. tq👍

Fun project. One suggestion is for the "Low Food" warning: For all my notifications like that, I set the trigger for a convenient time of day, and a condition that the food is low. That way you only get a notification at a time of day when you are awake and able to respond to the alert.

Hello Jake! Is your DHT22 still running after 1 year and a half? Still haven't been clogged with lint?

Been so hard to find a good video for dryer monitoring! Great vid! How's the sensor holding up? And how are you holding up? You haven't posted in over a year, hope you are well.

Great videos. I'm starting to get into home automation and I love the content. Wish there was more you have so many cool items on the dashboard would love to see an overview of your home assistant and just other general things your already doing

im goin to make these

Great Video! Thank you.

I followed all your steps but it’s not showing up in home assistant. Does home assistant need to be on an “always-on” device? Right now it’s installed on my QNAP

Will be back once I have the motivation... This level of tweaking/tinkering makes me feel lazy as hell lol 🤪

Super cool! I have junk drawers. Plural. lol

Thanks for doing this man, love it and have just built mine. I'm having trouble of the servo motor not making good connection with the plastic piece, and the servo motor just spins with the plastic rotator not spinning. How did you make it be a solid connection and not slip?

Great flash!!! Was gonna try a esp32 with a sensor and wired into the board of the washing machine. Your soulution is 100 times easier, faster and easier. How about the dishwasher please sir Great work

Amazing work!

Great video! I hope to see more from you someday!

This is awesome! Thanks for the great video.

this is actually really well done man! great job!

Well done job! Thanks for the idea!

Great video! I'd really like to see another video on the specific settings for the sensor ranges. How did you specify that the finished state was (I guess) zero W usage for a specific time period? (ie: not 0 watts between cycles). Thanks!

Do you have a website with more details? I'm interested in looking over the entire automation code. Thanks!

6 months since this video was posted, waiting on more, I really like your way of teaching us this stuff. For instace, I'd love a Grafana tutorial.
