Smart Home Solver Thank you for the great ideas! I want to replace most of the lights in my home with smart lighting. I'm just not sure if I should keep all of my switches on all the time if I'm using routines and voice activation. Would it do any damage to leave all my switches on, and is there any benefit to using both smart switches and smart lights together?

These ideas are great, thank you. We are planning our new smart home and these tips are the best. the best part is the different ways to turn on and off lights that make it so much better entering rooms. Question - Can the Hue bridge take the place of Smartthings hub?

[@gamemakerdude]

@@bquietson Yes, it's my real name. My childhood was pretty good.

[@gamemakerdude]

@@byrnesvideos I'm pretty sure the Hue bridge is just for the lights. However, you can also connect the bridge to Smartthings to make your lights interact with your other devices.

I see I am quite late to the party and the SwitchBot curtain is now available from their site instead of the Indigogo campaign. But I had to leave a comment to say, THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THIS. I have an elderly parent with limited mobility who uses a long stick to move the curtains over the sliding door back and forth and it takes a lot of effort and can cause dizziness. This is a brilliant solution since she’s already familiar using Alexa for controlling the lights and using reminders. This is a game changer. I have never dropped $200 (set of 2) on something so fast in my life and I am confident that it will be worth every penny.

[@hugoferreira2931]

what is the name of that tool

[@veo_]

I'm a lighting/LED nerd and have had my entire home wired with RGBW bulbs+strips that I could control from both the LAN and WAN for many years. I remember in 2013 I felt like I was living in the future one time as I was hacking my light bulbs via UDP in an attempt to reverse engineer the undocumented protocol enough to create my own bash CLI for my 40 bulb 2.4ghz mesh instead of relying on the crappy hardware that came with/from the anonymous and now non-existent manufacturer. Heh. Fun Times. It was the wild west of IoT. Anyway, I haven't paid attention to smart home things for a long time and the state of the art has really come a long way. I feel like a newb again, which is kinda fun. That being said, I want to say I very much appreciate your videos with their no-nonsense yet informative approach. There's a lot of conflicting opinions out there, but many which seem reputable on the surface boil down to ease-of-setup rather than objective functionality. It's annoying to watch a 20 minute review of hubs ecosystems only to find out the depth of their final opinion is no deeper than how easy it change the lightbulb colors. :/ Inefficiencies are annoying so I haven't actually invested in a hub yet, because I want the right one (or combination) from the start. I'm leaning towards smarthtings v2, but Home Assistant looks more DIY, which I'm attracted to, but also don't want to spend 10 hours making every task work. Ideally I'd like something easy to work with on the user level, but also something that also allows you to really dig into some code if you so choose. Do you have a video about hub ecosystem interoperability? Like which systems play well together, and which combos don't? I imagine it's a bit of a mine-field on the protocol level. What are the non-obvious technical pitfalls? That sorta thing? Thanks again for your efforts! :)

That's what I'm using and I love it. It's one of the only smart home devices I've found that seems to actually be made by people who care about smart homes, not just companies using it as a buzz word for their proprietary software.

[@f2bacon]

ive had the idea of the switchbot curtain but for windows for YEARS. based on temperatures you could open and close windows. saving on heating and AC

[@SmartHomeSolver]

That would be awesome!

[@f2bacon]

i dont got the mind for coding but ive seen a lot of people building stuff with actuators, i bet you could make that pretty easy

[@ToniHinton]

You could probably do that with the SmartThings multipurpose sensor since it has a temperature sensor built in. Mount it just to the side of the window (out of direct heat/sunlight) where it will be affected by the temp change first. Or use 2, and decide how much difference you want between them before the curtains are changed.

Love the video. I attempted to get my back porch lights on a wyze smart plug to flash when the front door bell rang on my smart things but i could not figure it out. If you can give some tips that would be great

[@SmartHomeSolver]

Thanks! What I would do is create a virtual switch for the Wyze plug and connect it using IFTTT. Then you could use webCoRE to toggle the virtual switch off and on. The main issue here is that a virtual switch won’t know if your wyze plug is turned off or on at the begging of the automation. If you always have the lights on in the back then you could just make sure they stay on.

[@jgdovin1]

Smart Home Solver this was the problem, I went this exact route and I actually can get the status of the switch in web core but because ifttt has a bit of a delay and sometimes loses inputs it worked about 50% of the time

[@jgdovin1]

That is, the lights always flashed but it was about a 50/50 chance on wether it would end in the same state as it started out.

[@claudiaadams8650]

Lifx lights have an app that has day/dusk settings. Can't do color with it, but you can set it up pretty easily to turn on before sunset. Or you can use IFTTT to have the lights start turning on at a set time and a set color. I personally use this option and just set a generic time rather than customizing to actual sunset (it's usually around the same time for about 6 months).

You'll want to set that up in the routines. If you click on "When this happens" then click "smart home," you can choose a device to trigger your routine. I talk about it a little bit in this article and video: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/alexa-routine-ideas/ This article by Amazon might also be helpful: www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202200080

Watched some of your family friendly videos, good stuff keep it up! - commenting because this is the one that finally made me subscribe. many actual tips that might be useful for the common (light) smart home user. ATTENTION - LED's are not cheesy... i have now dabbled in a few different areas of my home and people have been wowed as well as myself!.. can it be gimmicky at times? yes, but operator error haha enjoy them and for the price - few (removable) purchases make such an impact! For the price of a sofa or nice coffee table.. you could do so much with LED's to elevate your homes appearance and your comfort level. Have fun doing these as well,

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I agree with you about the impact of LEDs and how they can change the look and feel of a room.

Hey man! I've heard many negative reviews about the nanoleaf app? Would you recommend getting it?

[@jeffhogancamp5379]

I have a bunch of nanoleaf panels and they work great can't say I liked the price of them. But they work great and Amazon and Smartthings compatible..

Excellent presentation! Hey it would be great if you could do a specific lutron video and the things you can do with them.
