Thank you for ths Video. As this channel is aimed at those starting their Smart Home journey, as has already been stated, it would have been sensible to talk through the Calendar and Media integrations as you did on your Shopping List video.

[@ProjectSmartHome]

Thank you for your feedback. I'll take that in to consideration in future videos.

Here is some information on how to add Google or Alexa in to Home Assistant. Hopefully this will help people that haven't go the integration in place already. www.nabucasa.com/config/google_assistant/

Thanks for the video. this is something we always struggle with, putting the bins out. I am not able to get the helper/toggle to switch off when clicking yes on the notification. Do you have any pointers for me please?

[@ProjectSmartHome]

Thanks for your comment. It sounds like you have the "Yes" prompt popping up on your phone. So you need to check that the data section is correct in your automation and that you have the corresponding automation setup with the manual trigger.

Below is the YAML that I am using in my automation that triggers the manual automation to switch off the helper/toggle. alias: Bin Day - Set Boolean to off description: >- This manual automation changes the Kitchen Bin helper boolan to off if someone clicks YES when asked if they have put the bin out. trigger: - platform: event event_type: mobile_app_notification_action event_data: action: YES_BIN_OUT condition: [] action: - action: input_boolean.turn_off target: # enter the name of your toggle switch below. entity_id: input_boolean.kitchen_bin data: {} mode: single I hope this helps.

I add the data section in to the new automation at 24:26 in the video.
