I Automated EVERY Minute of My Day

[@SmartHomeSolver]

There are around 50 automations in this video! I just filmed myself from the time I woke up til I went to bed. I explain some of the more advanced automations in an article that you can check out here: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/automating-every-minute-of-my-day/ Remove your personal information from the web at Joindeleteme.com/SMARTHOMESOLVER, use code SMARTHOMESOLVER for 20% off

You need a pressure sensor under the toilet brush holder so that when you take the brush out to clean the toilet it will tell your wife that you are in the process of cleaning the toilet and when you return brush to the base the sensor will notify her that the cleaning process is complete and is ready for the "Toilet" inspection. Great video!

[@charlesxavier1904]

Another one of these videos from Allies perspective to see how much she uses/likes when it comes to your automations.

[@EthanShalev]

Your bathroom is the size of my living room!

[@LikeARoboChicken]

The Shower part is insane, get a circulation pump.

[@erik....]

You can't just get a circulation pump, you need a return line too.

[@NateAsOfLate]

Correct... I have a circulation pump and no return line. And I have an automation that turns it on/off throughout the day based on motion on the bathrooms and kitchen (where water is used).

[@chrisabrams1238]

I added a pump and the comfort valves but I found that I needed to add the valve under 3 or 4 sinks to make the tankless water heater fire.

[@NateAsOfLate]

@@chrisabrams1238 I added one in our master bathroom sink and one in our kitchen to cover both directions the hot water runs in. But we have a tank, so there were no functionality issues with it only one the one sink initially

[@John-Smith02]

11:52 I have the electrical switch replaced with an electrical switch with some lights pointing down, its always on when it's dark, but I also have a battery powered motion sensor light in a different spot in case the power the house goes out. Both are dimmable and the battery powered one is only on when its dark enough and if there's movement.

[@bobsmith1841]

You need to have the moisture sensor for the plant trigger a drip system to water said plant lol 😂

[@johnmerryman1825]

I love your funny outro clips, and of course the home automations. I've been slowly adding more automations to my Home Assistant - thanks as always for the inspiration!

2:40 How does your dashboard know what room you're in?

[@gregormartynus6178]

Bluetooth presence

[@iso_2013]

@@gregormartynus6178 how is that granular enough though? It feels like that wouldn't give very good accuracy

[@caedis_]

@@iso_2013 many bluetooth presense detectors. Enough to triangulate which room you are in

I like the Paul Hibbart avatar on the comment segue for the read ad.

[@lawjamesr]

I’ve been able to do a few alarm things through iOS, but the integration with Android definitely makes it more straightforward. iOS Shortcuts is good, but even with the iOS18 updates, it’s still not the most intuitive scripting language. Super fun seeing ‘a day in the life’ of Reed! Definitely gave me some ideas.

[@TuberTugger]

Was going to question how your shade automations work on days when it's not sunny. Then you mentioned being in Arizona and I realized how silly I was.

[@pedrorocks1313131]

The pressure sensor on your bed is great but one tip. Rotate the pad so that it’s laying on all the wood supports. It’s to hold it a little better also maybe it reads more areas in your spot and will cover your body length

[@_yugi_]

Thats very cool! Thanks for Sharing! I would like to see a video on how you set everything up and another video about the downsides or struggles you had & keep having and what you would like to change/add/improve.

[@chrisabrams1238]

Looking at your kitchen, is that a KB home? I have the same wall texture and kitchen cabinets. Enjoying your channel!

[@EricWelander]

Now we just need a self cleaning toilet to be announced at CES. Seems plausible as long as it’s somehow powered by “AI”

[@anpc86]

Your videos give me inspiration… I’m starting to get into the rabbit hole for smart lighting, trying to figure out what hub/bulbs/switches to go with… I think I remember you have videos here and there where you say which ones you like I think Philips hue bridge but go with ikea bulbs…the switches though are confusing … what I really want to automate are the outdoor lights Phoenix Suns!

[@NickNackGus]

Nice! Something I've got on my alarm you might want to try - set up your alarms in your calendar instead. Then you can adjust your alarm for any random day/week months in advanced.

[@russebbing]

You need a bed shaker to wake you up! Put it between your matrice and box spring. Easy to! Bed shakers were intended for the hearing impaired but they are great as they don’t disturbed your partner as much as a radio.all you need to do is hook it up to a plug-in transformer plugged into a smart plug. Easy! I’ve yet to install new fire alarms. I’ll connect this to the bed shaker.

[@generationgeek]

A cat is another way to automate being woken up every morning

[@sndanddmx]

Love the nod to Paul Hibbert!

[@realfamimation]

Bro is going to automate his breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure next *waitaminute*

[@remcoland]

I also made an automation to check my alarm, and it has changed my live. Funny to see more people use it.

[@dansilchuk]

Have you considered getting the presence switches from Inovelli to get rid of the plugged in sensors?

[@tatts4life838]

I’m slowly getting into automations. I only really have two or three. Our house is slab on grade so it takes forever for the hot water to get from the garage to the other side of the house, especially in the winter. So we installed a hot water circulator that unfortunately has one of those old time dial timers. But I hooked it up to a smart plug and have it set to turn on in the morning on days we go to work. I also have it set to turn on after a certain amount of time when I go for a run so I have instant hot water when I get home. I also have a setup that turns it on when I leave the gym and go home. Unfortunately the gas station and drug store are in the same area so it turns on the pump sometimes. I need to figure out how to be a little more precise in the location. And like you I have a smart switch that turns on our outside lights at sunset and off at sunrise

[@tatts4life838]

Another automation I want to figure out is how to have the bathroom exhaust fan turn off when humidity levels have dropped back to normal after a shower. I saw someone mention it in a video but I’ve never been able to find that video again to ask them how they did it

[@Renegade605]

​@@tatts4life838use a home assistant helper to make a derivative sensor for humidity. If %/min change is a large positive number, the humidity just spiked (the shower is on). When the %/min is a large negative number, the humidity tanked (ie. the door was opened). Wait for the %/min to get back to around 0, and it's stabilized and you can now turn off the fan.

[@TH3xR34P3R]

I use the aqara leak sensor in occupancy mode with a preassure sensor for automations for when I am in or out of bed, for the alarm I use hassalarm that when It sees the next set alarm it turns on the switch to run the alarm automation which handles my hue lamps turning on based on what time in the morning it is. I have the lamps and led strip set to use circadian lighting to automate temperature and brightness. The led strip I use in the bathroom for saving turning on the main light since it has an exhaust fan tied to it which is using the wasp in a box blueprint to keep it on as long as occupancy is detected, a dehumidifier via a matter based power strip is tied to my switchbot 2 hubs humidity sensor to help reduce that and it's also controlling the exaust fan to tell it to turn on with a 30min timer once its above a threshold that matches when I am in the shower. I just got and installed the airgradient one airquality sensor so I can also monitor my co2 levels in my home and have it automate putting my ac in fan mode to promote airflow and remind me to open a window. As for a doorbell I use a shelly button as my doorbell button and have an automtion to turn on the monitor on my rack where I have my camera feeds show and it also takes a snapshot to display in a persistent notification to show who is/was at the door on the phone at the time, I even use tasker to automate putting the phone out of silent mode, play the sound file for the trigger word in the notification title then put it back in silent. As for smart plugs I have one setup like a wattman to monitor my pc wattage usage and I have a wake on lan automation that runs after 9s after the plug is turned on heh. A lot of my controls I also have mapped to my streamdeck xl when I am at my desk for quick access and everything else is your standard motion/door sensor triggers and I have one that automates power cycling my NBN modem then restarts my router after 5min of the internet being down.

[@actuallyrichie]

This is awesome! I would love to a build smart automations like this.

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

1:00 you need the new Nintendo alarmo!!

[@HomeIsWhereTheSmartIs]

This sounds SO MUCH like my day it’s scary 😂 I might have to do my own version of this video as I’ve recently added a bunch of extra routine automations to keep my kids in check and going to bed on time.

[@gregormartynus6178]

What’s your smart lock for the entry door? Can it tell who opened the door, so that you can do automations based on that?

Lutron has the most extensive occupancy/vacancy sensor modes. If you want smart controls use the Caseta.

I have set the audio track to your original language English. But the German video title, which it still shows me, cannot be displayed in your original English. Too bad.

Yeah, YT's push to translate everything to the viewer's language is HORRIBLE.

Alright I think I disabled the title and description being automatically translated for this video. I'll leave the audio track enabled as an option if people want to change to it though.
