You can buy multiple sensors and connect to one or more hubs. If those are same brand you it can all integrate into single app. If they are all different, you can integrate into something like Home Assistant

I think these kitchen automation ideas are more like retrofit than applicable for modern appliances. As far as I know smart fridges or Bosch dishwashers send notifications when the door has been open too long or when programme is finished. Otherwise great video! 😍 I have a Bosch dishwascher and could not recommend it enough, I can also recommend Siemens oven or coffee maker (studioline). For Home Connect users - in HA use Home Connect Alt from HACS, not the official integration.

Thank you and 100% with you on the retrofit - but with the price of smart fridges vs regular ones it does make sense to save. I think for most people (including myself) it’s just an easier solution. Will look into the Siemens oven - thanks for the tip!

Usually when you save it a new automation appears in your list of automations - check if you got it. If you do - all good, all worked as expected since blueprint is a “setup” of sorts which results in new automation

I have a similar system at the moment. I use the labels for the type of device or sensor it is then I assign the name with what device its controlling i.e ZSwitch01 - Nuc Monitor (this tells me ita a generic zigbee smart plug, I use OZ for those from OZSmartThings and TSwtich for Tuya based ones) and have that first part of the name written on the device itself so that I know where it is when I need to find it when its not a light switch that is always going to be in the same location at all times then its just tied to the area its in for scene control. I also keep that naming convetion using the first part of the device name in the app if it comes with one it needs to setup like in the case of the Tuya wifi plugs so its all consistent and then I just use the device its controlling as the label when its added as a button on my streamdeck xl or I leave it as say TSwtich01 for those tuya ones for generic use. It's then nice and simple to make the automations organised with the devices as I set them up and I use similar naming conventions and labels i.e Motion Sensor: Bedroom Lights for the automation name then its Motion Sensor for the label etc For helpers I have the devices its going to be assigned to as the name with button if its to be used with a button action or toggle so I know this will toggle an automation it will be linked as i.e Alarm Toggle for the input boolean or Bedside Lamps Button for a control input to toggle two hue bulbs at the same time and I use the bedside lamps label with that button helper to put it into the automation that I need it in via call service actions. Overall HA is a very versitile system when you get setup right especially since they add/ed more options to organise things for what you want to control in and around the home.

Hey! Just discovered your channel. I have attached a vibration sensor to my coffee machine to detect when it was running (I use this to decrement the counter of my coffee capsules and if it goes beyond a certain threshold, I put coffee capsules on the shopping list automatically). Wouldn’t that be more precise than the button press? What if you forget to push the button? If you have multiple persons in the household using the coffee maker, you could use presence detection to check who is currently close to the coffee maker and if the rare case that two persons are in proximity of the coffee maker occurs, you could send an actionable notification to both asking whether they just drank a coffee and only if they answer „yes“ increment their counter…
@brenvelm
@brenvelm 6 ай бұрын
Those are certainly both great options! I did try vibration sensors before in various scenarios and for me those only worked flawlessly with doors. In most other scenarios (e.g. washing machine) I was getting a bunch of false positives. Again, everyone “mileage” may vary. Presence sensors is something I am considering, but the need to have them wired puts me off for now. But certainly both great additions - thank you!
