Dynamic and fun to watch! Justin, you are a fantastic presenter, effortlessly balancing quirky humor and factual content. With a quality visual style and amusing delivery, this series appeals to everyone from the advanced tech-smart looking for comprehensive information to the tech-phobic wanting an accessible introductory overview. Certainly worthy of 5 stars!

Create virtual switches in SmartThings which will allow you to control multiple lights with one switch

Loving these tech videos! We just installed a bunch of Hue lights now that we have a new baby-it makes ALL the difference when getting her ready for bed thanks to the red lights and being able to dim the lights before we even get into the room. Between those and the Sonos speakers which are great for both music AND for brown noise we are really loving the home automation to make this growing family a little easier. Love learning about all the other options we have. Keep the great content coming!!!

Yay! So glad you enjoyed the episode. Sounds like you're using your smart home tech in some innovative and helpful ways. Sounds like something I should make a video on.... Thanks for watching :)

Justin_tech yes!! If there is one thing new parents talk about ALL the time it’s how to get babies to sleep better and lights, white noise, blackout shades are always something that come up so automating them as a “baby bedtime” setting makes things that much easier.

Very cool video I like the Brilliant switch and Action Tiles. Question, I like all the visual tech, but isn't the future of Smart Home in voice? I guess it's your preference I have 8 Google Minis around the house that get my commands done. Thoughts?
@Justin_tech4 жыл бұрын
Actually, the future is brainwaves! Voice is great and all, but when you're watching a movie or have friends over, you don't want to stop everything to talk to your voice assistant. It's nice to have visual panels so you can quickly activate and not worry about a voice assistant misunderstanding you or interrupting people talking.

Nice video, Why don't you use smart films for the windows instead of smart blinds or curtains?, the smart films look a lot more cool and they even save a bit of space

Absolutely loving this series so far! I finally joined the amazing world of Hue this week (some of it thanks to you and your previous vids!) and I have the Hue sound bars arriving tomorrow for my gaming 😁 Episode 2 was some great timing as I’m getting to grips with zones and scenes in the Hue app, Home app and my Alexa. It’s so great to be educated by you on the all features and how all these things work together, and I’m definitely looking into smart home security next! Great work Justin, love your videos and this series 👍🏻✨

What system would you like it to run on? ActionTiles and others all need a main hub/system to activate the commands.

@@Justin_tech if I would like to have Echo plus as my hub or and Harmony is there some interface for tablet which would just do simmilar as actiontiles for smartthings? I just think if smarthings is my only option to make my home smart, for now I have Ring, music, lights, switches, smart plugs, sensors and cameras, only thing what I have under Harmony is in one room old home theater system with TV, for that i dont need command center but for the rest I am looking for some good solution
@Justin_tech4 жыл бұрын
You’ll need smartthings or another system like home assistant. This series helps with SmartThings. I plan to expand in the future. You could use HomeKit if you’re an Apple user for a nice display of controls. Or an Echo Show which I show in action next episode. I like action tiles the most for a command center though and will be making more videos on it soon.
