BIG QUESTION: How can I add a logic level shifter in order to run a long line from the node to the first led strip? I see so many examples for 5v but nothing regarding 24v. Any input on how to wire that up properly?

There a way to turn your HA system in to a alarm system for FREE via the hacs integration Alamo, and turn it into a security system

Meybe you could convert those templates in blueprints and share with us :D

I think there is a miss leading information regarding the M3 Hub as ONLY! matter/thread devices will have the high availability feature. Zigbee devices will not be able to run locally as well.

My led have 4 pin, how?

Great video, would love to hear more. Ring just upped my price to $98 for my home builder installed system with a Doorbell Camera and Alarm system. $49 each service paid for year in advance = $100 Frustrating because we bought our home in 2023. Anyway, I am giving them the boot at any cost. Its principle. So I jsut bought and installed an AWESOME Lorex 2K doorbell camera (actually works better than Ring) I bought a "Level Connect" device to control my Level Bolt door lock further removing me from the Ring dynasty. I also replaced my Honeywell Wave thermostat that was controlled with the ring app for a Honeywell WiFI thermostat installed curiosity of my electric utility. So all that is left is the Ring Alarm system and I need to do something fast as it will renew in 2 more weeks at now $49 since I got rid of the Ring Doorbell Camera. Very frustrating and I will make Amazon pay the rest of my life and still buy from them but Walmart+ will be first choice for everything as a punishment to Amazon. Sadly I am sure no many people like me.

My biggest complain is the bell is too far from the handle

I have owned my V2 for about 6 months now and Love It! I ride almost every day on and off road. I’m 68 years old and this is my first scooter. Yes it can be dangerous, but if you wear the gear you’ll be fine.

Hey commenters: If the humidity in your laundry room is high enough to hurt electronics, you probably have mold.

Cool!

oh damn, using google home, bought this and only now found out automations don't work. This wasn't clear for me. This makes the device practicly useless for me...

How did you design the scenes section for the lights on your main dashboard? You're doing such an amazing job!

He needs a patch panel and proper cable management

Isn't a dumb heater with a smart plug just as good?

OMG!! I have a bunch of ESP32s laying about and my wife ALWAYS losing her phone. Then asks me to search all over for it. LITERALLY EVERY BLOODY DAY!!!!!!😠😱😠😡😖 This is GREAT!!

Thats how your home builder setup/wired the home with cable terminations in a plastic johnson box? Its 2024 damn builders should be wiring this house/rooms all with CAT6 and finishing it all in a air cooled/vented communications closet.

This might be one of the nicest setups we've seen with our 20U rack. You're a legend!

Next i will stamp 666 on my forehead!!

Yea, the Hilink 2410 mm wave presence and motion detectors are much faster to respond and much better for things like lights and fans. Nice thing too is, if you're not into soldering, you can just use a simple ESP32 as a bluetooth proxy via ESPHome, the dev board for the LD2410 and boom... Easy peasy! Freaking love the LD2410s. Got a couple of 2412s but, doesn't look like HA offically supports them yet. So...I also live in Metro Phoenix and have been testing the LD2410s in the garage for fans and lights. Its not uncommon for temps to crack 125° F in there. So far ..the ESP32 BT proxy and LD2410 have been holding up. High temp of 118° F so far. Now... Longevity is the next test. Heet kills in electronic components so....well see. I've had a D1 Mini 8266, AHT10 teml sensor and SSD1306 OLED display running and going on its 3rd summer....and winter lol. Still going strong. The ESP products are just so smazing. $3 and there is so much you can do with them. Love WLED for LED Controller and ESPs. Cheap, versatile and rugged. Espressif makes a hell of s product!

Reed, I don’t know how you sleep at night trying to figure out how to get home assistant to open and close that troublesome garage door. I myself feel like Paul, yes Reed I said his name, just so proud of myself to get half of my things working. Fun fact Reed, I told Paul I thought he was going to name his baby Reed, that didn’t go over so good, I mean what did you do to him to make him get so upset like that. Anyway REED, I’m hoping you loose sleep tonight that the Tesla automation didn’t trigger and charge the Tesla. Gotta go, Paul is holding on the other line.😊

Will it work for only one device detection at a time or multiple devices detection at the same time?

Hi fellow, small KZbinr🤣🤣🤣

What colour is this one ?

Hey Reed, beginner here. Do you have hard wired wireless access points in various places in hour attic space? Wondering how you got connectivity to yoir WiFi routers/access points.

Doesn’t this mean you cannot dim the lights

Any idea how to run app with apple TV integration? can't make it working at all :(

You can use the govee API to get it into home assistant and automate, this allowed me to use an aqara temperature sensor attached to my sons crib (the built in one is junk) and turned it on and off if it was above 73 or below 68. Works great, a bit of a pain to get the api setup, but there is some really good documentation for getting it into home assistant.

The light strip cant be shipped to my address 😢😢😢

Fck Evil Corp. I'll never buy their products. Getting a RATGDO.

I wouldn't say SFP makes everything "so much faster". I think it has a little less overhead than Ethernet, which can speed things up marginally (it's common for ethernet to drop speeds by about 5%), but the big reason I like to use the SFP is that is frees up ethernet ports and it makes the uplink obvious.

Hey Reed, could you please share how did you find app IDs..? Having a trouble finding one for Hulu app on Apple TV :(

Hi Reed, how did you get the timer value to parse to home assistant? I can get the shortcut to fire the timer automation, but it will not dynamically update the duration with how long is left. Thanks :)

I'll be a dissenting voice - This is a cloud service. Ring gave it away to build fast market share - it has likely always been their plan to switch to a paid model. And well - cloud infrastructure isn't free for them, why should it be free for their users? Sure they could quad the initial price, and 'include' cloud services for a few years, but that model seems to be mostly dead (think Windows updates). I challenge anyone to setup a centralized notification system for themselves.

My opener stopped working two weeks after installation.......I needed a new main PCB and now, after replacement PCB the built in camera no longer works...so I'm trying to se how to add a 3" PTZ to replace the chainberlain version....any ideas Mr Reed? Also...the camera on these openers are only viewable through the app....(grrrr)

Can you still use the EvilCorp controls exactly the same way after a RATGDO is installed? I'd like to keep everything the way it is but also add the RATGDO...

Cool cool $50,000 garage door opener; Tesla required.

Oh man oh man you have the answer to my prayers Thanks for the awesome simple direct video ! Question#1 would you connect a motion sensor to power the ESP or the LED strip? Question #2 do you sell the 3D print box for the ESP? 😅

In the systems I setup, patch panels are clutch, rack ups, blank plates, side panels, super quiet rack fans, wire management, etc… My house….looks almost exactly like yours, but more equipment, and more messy.

After 5 years, my garage/arrival home is working almost perfectly (almost). I still use Geo, but the door will only open if my phone is connected to the car's Bluetooth (not any Bluetooth, the car's Bluetooth MAC address). I've had it set up for almost 5 months, and I believe it's worked every time. So, Geo location turns to Home, confirms Bluetooth, and opens the garage.

I have a Meross MSG100. With HomeKit. I have an issue, it’s not show open or close. But, it’s show ( obstructed) on HomeKit screen. Anyone know how to fix that problem please share. Many thanks. Tran.

Does somebody knows how to change WiFi network without factory reset the defice?

I have a problem idk you can solve! I need a space heater that auto turns on when the temp dips below a certain temp BUT also can schedule it to increase a temp at a certain time? I have a special need kiddo who won’t sleep with blankets but around 3am her room gets colder than the set 72 degrees on the heater she’s also sensitive to lights

What is the reason that switching to that small cable to connect to the sfp modules is faster then the ethernet? I understand it supports fiber but if you were using cat6 and you only get a gig wouldn't it be the same or is the fiber cable still just faster?

your thumbnail is reaction face is shit and annoying, channel blocked

Yeah, nah, messy. Put a small rack up on the wall and run either a duct accross to the network box in the wall. Turn the rack-ears on the switch 90° and mount the switch inside the cable box. If you got keen, opend the plaster and pass cables in a conduit inside the wall. Otherwise, pull all cabling up and out of the wal-box and put into rack on wall up nice and high, out of the way and will be very tidy. As for the use of the DAC cable speeding things up, lol, thats a placebo effect dude. The switch is only a 16-porter and the SFP port is just that, SFP, not SFP+. Still only 1GbE

Talk about elite. Tesla integration? 🤣 My cracked code is with my Subaru Outback Plug-in hybrid (so I’m a double elite too!) Is to hold down the speak button on the steering wheel and say, “Siri, open the garage door.” RATGDO FTW! Granted the Subaru integration with Home Assistant is not nearly as capable.

Can't you use an 8266?

This is cool. What I am also interested in is using an ESP32 for motion detection, so it activates when someone comes into a room.
