We talk about Zigbee - The Smart Panel

Great video I have been using Aqara for 2 years (over 50 devices) never had an issue in Apple home

I noticed Connor and Tez did a project for a disabled client - maybe that could be a topic for a future talk. I work for Social Services and although I've been pushing for smart homes for a long time, what we can offer is very limited. It would be interesting ţo see what's out there to make the life of a disabled client / elderly client easier (beyond smart lights and music).

Hi Alan...great video. Please can you link in the description the list of products and also link to the SM light controller you spoke about.

Hi these videos are so interseting and look forward to more in the future. By the way can't seem to find the document of supported devices in the description.

We're glad you're enjoying them 😄

[@kevinhenryviii]

Some great advice here. 👍🏻 Well done.

I am using some unbranded TUYA zigbee sensors and they work fine. The Moes Star ring switch failed a random.

Can you tell me how they bill the clients? Is it by the hour, by the installation, are there annual fees? I have done my house with HA and my large campus church with HA and have two members of the congregation that would like me to set up their house. My business model would be to charge an annual fee. The first year would include all the installation, but the client would buy all the equiptment. There would be a fix number of automations during the first year. The next year there would be an hourly limit for addtional automation, installations of new equiptment, etc.. Included in the annual fee would be any work required to keep the system operational. Also, would be user training and WAF issues. Thoughts?

I can't find the document you refer to at 2:33. Maybe I'm blind...

Is the guy on the left from Newcastle? Sounds like a Geordie like me!

For me, the only real downside of Zigbee is the 2.4GHz band. If you live in the middle of a big city, in an apartment complex with hundreds of misconfigured ISP routers, it's hell.... and batteries!

[@LuxeiaLtd]

This is very true! There is one project we did where we used Z-Wave for this exact reason, as the 2.5GHz band was too saturated to create a stable network.

Biggest takeaway for me is that my avoidance of wireless smart devices was worthwhile.
