You’re welcome. I would consider the Nanit. The Nanit comes with cloth bans with Velcro. In theory you could actually Velcro 2 of them together to make a bigger band to wrap around your child. I will say the Nanit also is only “supposed” to go up to 24 months, but one band fits around my 3 1/2 year old. Also talk to your Pediatrician about Owlet. There is a medical one, I’m not sure if it’s any different. I wish you the best.

Update: We got the eufy smart sock and the socks that came with it were too small. Cut a hole in a sock I knew was pretty tight on my kids, and it works like a charm! I cut the hole small enough it was a struggle to put the sensor in the hole. Just have to look up age appropriate heart rates and SpO2 levels for the age group and adjust the sensitivity accordingly. Side benefit: we get a verbal confirmation the sock has been removed when she gets up, so we also know when she’s up in the morning.

Great question! I am going to make a video this week on how to do this when setting up automations. I also talk about it in this videokzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32qkISviKh7n5I Basically you create two automations. Automation 1 is, door open or motion sensor detects motion, light turns on. Automation 2, door closed AND motion sensor does not detect motion for "x" amount of time, light turns off. If you don't have a motion sensor in that room then you just don't create automation 2. You would have one that turns on the light when the contact sensor (door) opens and nothing when it closes. You could set a delay on the contact sensor as well. Let's say the sensor is closed for 5 minutes THEN turn off the light. This might get annoying though since it could trigger when you are still in the room. I planned to walk through this exact automation in a video this week!

@@IntelliHomes Yeah, I was thinking you could fix it with a motion detector...but if you are using one of those, why use a door sensor. I'm not going to use door sensors. They look like a DIY add-on and I want the seamless look.

In some places they make sense. I have a pantry and it makes sense to have the light turn on when it opens, and the light turn off when it closes. Another place it does make sense for me is the door from my house to garage. Unless I wanted 3 or even 4 motion sensors in my garage. I can put a contact sensor on the door so the light turns on when I go in the garage and the light stays on through motion. I know what you mean though, in some cases it just doesn't make sense.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much! It means a lot

Thank you! Glad to hear you like it!

Thank you! For restarting your devices, are you referring to the WiFi Router? All your devices should be connected to your router. If you change WiFi routers than yes, you have to reconnect all the devices to the network. Yes, this can be very tedious. You shouldn't be changing WiFi Routers very often though. I am actually working on a video around WiFi Routers right now that will release Saturday. Does that answer your question?

What switch/bulb setup are you running?

I believe privacy and security should be. I run all my devices through Home Assistant before being sent back to Alexa. What I really like about Home Assistant is there is an option to run Local Tuya, so instead of my devices bouncing off the cloud. They are only hitting my Home Assistant hub instead my home network. I still think there is a long way to go to help enhance privacy and security.

Right?

Generally yes. There are a lot of devices that work with Alexa, but not HomeKit (Siri). You’d have to set up the devices on both platforms.

I have struggled with Hue due to price. Oddly enough, I have actually enjoyed Tuya products. I do run Home Assistant though and I have set it up with Local Tuya to remove cloud connection. When I press give a voice command or use the app it happens as quickly as if I press the physical button. I am still working on the Presence Sensor, I have one and have found flaws in it. It definitely works better in large open areas. Otherwise you need multiple and at $80/ea, it gets to be a lot. I have seen them on sale for $65.

I am getting ready to make a video about this since I have had time now to test it

I am glad to be able to help!

I usually get about 90 minutes. I only have one charging base. Considering getting more so I have one at my desk and one next to the coffee pot.

@@IntelliHomes ok

Doing what I can. Thank you

Thank you!

lol, do you see the time stamp on this? It was like 2am. My wife legit recorded this whole thing. Normally the camera only gives us like 30 seconds. I think the full clip is over 2 minutes

@@IntelliHomes nice!
