Great guide Reed!

Paul Hibbert breathing heavily in the corner.

Hey Reed would lit possible to accomplish the same result with the Dishwasher using a wemo switch for On/Off setting? Or does it have to have the monitoring sensor switch? Just curious,. Thanks

Very cool but available for normal consumers in 2 years. 1300$ is way too much. Self emptying and auto fill with water was reserved for premium tiers and now its affordable considering possible failure not being fixed under warranty

Making yourself prone to hacking will all these “automation.”

How does the RF sensor work everywhere? Doesn’t it have to have line of sight?

Smart locks are the dumbest thing to put in a house, in particular on the outside. Specially facial recognition, which can't tell the difference between you and a photo of your face.

I’m interested in hearing more about the Sofabaton universal remote.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

Bluetooth tracking room to room video would be awesome thanks for the ideas

+1 for sofa baton video! I’ve been using Logitech Harmony for a while but am looking for an alternative, especially one that integrates well with Home Assistant.

Hahaha.... I love the plate idea. Hilarious!

The wiring in your garage is a very short horror movie.

I wonder if the Hue motion sensor is four times better than the new IKEA? Because that's (at least) how much more it costs.

i have 2 shelfies but cant figure out how to add it to my Home Assistant, did you get yours connected?

I found two used (but cleaned, refurbished and wiped) Surface Pro tablets for just over a hundred bucks each, they're becoming my HA dashboards. Browser in kiosk mode, boom.

Instead of the Sofabaton, find the Kickstarter for the Unfolded Circle Remote 3. Screen, fully local, programmable and with impeccable Home Assistant integration. Cheap? No. The best? Probably.

For the Aranet CO2 sensor I made a stand Check thingiverse: "Aranet 4 Home Stand", I made it since the sensor is quite thin, and can fall over from time to time especially when placed on a desk you use, and when direct sunlight shines on it you can't read it, with a soft angle, it breaks the sunlight, and allows you to read the stand. I made the stand as minimalistic as possible, with a separate faceplate that does not obstruct the sticker for CO2 levels, or causes needless filament waste.

Take 40 years to break even

Stuff like Philips Hue is so overpriced.

I would be very interested in a video that shows how to make your smart home more resilient to failure! The auto rebooting of smart plugs in your house is awesome!

Kind of sad to automate every minute of your life to be honest.

Im trying everything but just cant add my Xiaomi tv box. Dont know what im doing wrong😂😂

How long does it take for the panels to degrade to failure though.

Turning lights upon detection the vibration of a piano seems questionable to me as it implies you would enter a dark room and start playing (what?) in darkness. I'd put a plain mmWave presence sensor and be done with it

What happens if your router dies/frizz?

Does the plant sensor need to be plugged in? That'd definitely be a no-go

Wow thanks for this video! Super informative and actually inspirational. Now I have a few home automation projects I can work on. Really exciting stuff!

15:13 please fix that connecter. it hurts me

This guy have money…. Living in a huuuuge house. Normal people don’t.

Sofs Baton HA video please!

I would love a video on the sofa batton please thank you

I got a starter kit for phillips hue. Had the hub and 4 bulbs. That was my first purchase and I got it on a super good sale. It was a blessing and a curse. Those have been super solid and not a single issue. It also made me realize how good they are and how expensive they are.

At the moment I use HomeKit what about me?

What pressure sensor do you use for the bed? Thanks

How did you get it to go to specific apps? Trying that out on my iPhone to tell my Sony tv to open them

Hey Reed, great video! I have the TrampleTek Blue mats, and they ARE amazing and great customer service! Out of curiosity, why do you need RATGDO and the Meross device? I have the RATGDO and love it.

Did anyone have an issue with Ecobee not reading the temperature correctly? Mine has a temp difference of about 2.5-3degrees.

By the way and this is actually true and Reed said It RATGTO stand for rage against the garage door opener . He said it in one of his previous videos

This is just a bunch of ads. I actually believed you thought these were good products until loved your bird feeder that has never fed a bird. I had thought this was a good channel but I guess you will just shill whoever pays you.

It's honestly infuriating how good the Hue motion sensora are. I got a couple of them early on in my home automation adventure, and even now that I'm on Home Assistant and using devices from dozens of brands, the Hue motion sensors have been more reliable than anything. I wish they were cheaper!

I could live 5 life times and still not have half the smarts this dude has. Absolutely awesome! 🤯

14:34 this clip gives me some NSFW vibes 😅

Sorry, that plant sensor is ridiculous. I mean you can use it for 1 plant. But surely you don't want to hook up 20 plants in your home with a power cable.

Qué horrible vivir así. Los dispositivos manejándote a ti y no tú a ellos.

You've got to switch those office LEDs to WLED. It works great with home assistant, and the customizability is endless. I made mine using cutable strips, a Dig Uno and a defuser bar. It takes a little work depending how you set them up, but it's worth the hassle. They're pretty responsive and I have yet to experience them going offline. It could make for a good DIY video.

¿Google o Alexa prepara el desayuno??? Así ya no ocuparé cocinero

But for those shouldn’t there be like something happening and then it goes off like maybe like a 10 second delay or just beeps and then if you don’t cancel the alarm within that time it’ll go off 2:38

La RESPONSABILIDAD te levanta INMEDIATAMENTE.

my cat also passed the same month this video was posted and exactly last year ago our other cat passed and hopefully we are adapting to new cats at the end of this year
