In case you are not aware, home assistant has the ability to determine which Bluetooth devices an Android phone is connected to. You can use this information to trigger home automations. I use home assistant to trigger certain automations when my exercise headphones are connected to my phone. Also, Bluetooth automations don't have to be limited to just a phone connection. If you use something like ESPresense you can detect if a Bluetooth device is turned on.

Bluetooth as a trigger! Thanks for this…never thought of that as a trigger

My Home Assistant knows as soon as I’m home because I have a BLE beacon associated with my home zone. The moment my phone detects the beacon, it forces the companion app to check in with HA. This happens just before I pull into my driveway. I could make this happen sooner by putting the beacon outside of the house. I don’t have to touch my phone. And it even works if I’m on my motorcycle or not driving my Tesla.

This is exactly what I was looking for and actually helped with the whole time automation that I've been scowering Reddit on all day. So win win. Would definitely love to see how some of the more complex automations are created -- like "if both wife and i are home then..." or "turn on bathroom LEDs but only in the middle of the night with motion" type stuff!! Love it keep it up!

I have my shortcuts on my iOS adjust a trigger in Home Assistant and then have that run against the time if day. This is also useful for some use cases where my wife and I are using the same device.

So which home automation system do you primarily use, HA, or HomeKit?
@reedssmarthome11 ай бұрын
HA in the back end for all the automations and integrations. I pull in only the necessary devices into HomeKit and I'm using that as my front end. Almost everything runs locally that way and it seems like the best. I'm planning on making a more in depth video on it soon.
@pilotbum11 ай бұрын
@@reedssmarthomeThanks. I'd love that video as I'm just getting started in HA. I'm already learning the hard way and doing a lot of things over. When you say HomeKit on the front end, do you mean specifically you're using the HK app for control of devices you want to be able to control while using HA for the more complicated things?
