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.

[@ondray29]

I can tell you from experience, none of this works as well as he's letting on and the maintenance on so much automation is more exhausting than just turning most of that stuff on/off manually.

[@JustinsRealmMC]

I always see smart home automations as a hobby. You invest a lot of time to make it work to automate small moments of your life. Those seconds and convenience do compound though.

[@modro1991]

True

[@Numberzerosix]

Many things, even from the first two minutes, would literally take longer than actually making a minimal effort, like reaching for a light switch or using keys on a lock instead of waiting for the automation to recognise his face or that he'd entered a room and process it. It's nowhere near more convenient to set it all up and then deal with the bugs and software and hardware issues. There are many more low tech options that could save a few seconds, like a retractable key chain or a simple sensor light for those two examples.

[@Justifier]

All of the home automation issues I've had have been purely due to WiFi I ran conduit to pretty much everywhere in a new build during framing - yes, my GC hates me Looking forward to seeing how much better or worse a purely wire based system is over WiFi

[@estrobedaaxios2329]

I only have a small apartment so I obviously don't have as much stuff but I automate as much as I can and sure there are hiccups especially when there's a bigger update but most of the time it just works. So good that I actually question myself a bit why I just don't freeze the system to avoid the updates but I like new tech so... I dunno

[@richarda3764]

She seems willing to mess with the automations more than some people. My wife is okay with them as long as it all works perfectly. As soon as it messes up or conflicts with what she actually wants to do, she's out and complains a lot to me about how it all sucks. She has zero patience for trouble-shooting.

I also appreciate that he firstly highlights his struggle in the morning, to which he has created a solution for a setback, which can be a day-killer to some. Setbacks can hurt, sometimes it will hurt, but it is essential to remain disciplined in the habits placed to get better. Even going through the navy and getting out, waking up in the mornings has been hell since I was in elementary. Remaining consistent in your habits. Setbacks are just bumpy, uneven asphalt on the road. Who knows... it might be smooth sailing eventually. Just like this guy. REAL TALK THO- WOW! How seamless everything is!

[@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.

[@dansilchuk]

@ what switch type do you prefer? In my opinion they are some of the best looking smart switches.

[@Saturn2888]

@@dansilchuk I dunno what I was saying looked gaudy 😆. I think I meant my buttons and Everything Presence Lites. They stand out, but they could be completely hidden as Inovelli switches! I bought my first Inovelli switches as Zigbee fan controllers. That's a project I've been trying to do for years. Once I figured out you could control them from the switch, I bought some and found out light dimmers aren't the same as fan dimmers, so I bought the Inovelli to replace my Enbrighten (JASCO). I also bought some in-fan units too as the upstairs fans aren't all on light switches! Point is, I agree that having switches in the walls with motion or presence detection makes them blend in with the house. I don't like light switches in general because they mess up my smart lights, but I could solve that with Inovelli switches as they can turn off the relay in software! Lastly, I have all these IKEA Rodrent switches that work SUPER well. I can put them wherever I want on any wall, and they're also magnetic. I just don't like that they look like they don't belong even though I can place them in spots that make sense unlike my current light switch panels (they're so complicated in this house!). I'm torn at the moment for what I wanna do if I move. In this house? Oh for sure, I'm gonna put a few Inovellis in so my kids and guests don't keep resetting with my smart lights if I move. But it's not an affordable way of doing it. Switch covers make way more sense cost-wise, and that's what I've gone with for now. So really, I don't have a preferred switch. I'd love to explore more options. I know a lot of people use Lutron, but I really don't like proprietary systems no matter how good the brand is.

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.

1. Just like he did, don't just go on a timed base, but action-based, too. If you have an automation for light in the office but your door sensor / motion detector doesn't detect you going there, nothing will start. 2. Just include an silent mode in your automations you might want to disable temporarily. You set a variable and actions to set it to 0,1,2. 0=not disabled, 1=disabled for an hour, 2=disabled for the rest of the day. Now implement that in unnecessary routines. done.

Setting up the 'Bluetooth headphones' in HA because I love it. Needed that for when I turn my headphones on but already have my gloves on and can't reach my phone. But how did you make it play the specific playlist/podcast on Spotify?

Reed one thing to help you get enough sleep and be able to wake up on time. Is by going to talk to your doctor and get a sleep apnea test. If you're having a hard time waking up in the morning like I do sometimes it's probably because you have sleep apnea and you don't know it yet. So talk to your doctor and get tested.

Please, please make a video detailing how you set this all up / step by step guide with equipment listed, i have a lot of similar equipment but cant really ever get it to work properly the way you have it.

When I saw you turn on the shower water and then the fan I thought you might consider a circulation pump like I have. When I turn on the fan in either bathroom or the light over the sink, my circ pump gets the water hot out on the extremities of the house. I feel ok about the electricity use since I have solar, and waste less water than before I added that automation.

Great video. Thanks for sharing all of these ideals. Do you have a link for the Lockly front door lock? I tried looking it up, but don't see one quite like yours.
