Wait. What? No wonder they keep coming back!

@SylvainMenard 5 месяцев назад

At this point in time, consumer-grade smart home is still a hobby for geeks for all the reasons you mentioned. Too many protocols that don’t work with each other, too many companies with their own closed systems, an overall lack of reliability of too many devices and systems, and so on. Not to mention, issues related to online security. So I used them for what they are most of the time; funny gadgets (even though I get frustrated a lot when an automation fails or a device disconnects). Some systems like Lutron Caseta are very reliable and offer good quality products, but they are pricey, and, they lack sensors and devices and need a hub to work with other smart home devices and systems.

I have the Enbrighten landscape lights in our backyard and they work awesome! Just recently purchased their Flex and Cafe Lights to enhance our patio for the fall football season. Now all our lighting products indoor and outdoor are on the same Enbrighten platform! Thank you for your guidance on these new products, definitely going to check them out!

@turboturd7954 9 месяцев назад

If you want serious garden lighting, do what I do and use a few RGB 50watt pool lights. You can program automation by copying their remote codes to an IR Broadlink WiFi controller.

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

Yeah that can be a good way too. Gotta say though, I'm enjoying my new setup!

@turboturd7954 9 месяцев назад

@@AutomateYourLife For your size nature strip, they low wattage lights would be ok. But for a large garden, (my garden is half an acre), you need alot more wattage to light up the branches of high trees. Personally, the rope light had some nice patterns, but the length is far to short. And the multilights are a good starter pack, but honestly, just low wattage junk.

I am ready for more matter over thread. I have a HomeKit based smart home. I don’t want a bunch of extra bridges. Wi-Fi devices have disappointing stability.

@brettc1413 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, great video. Have you tested any Smart Wifi Breakers? I'm looking to be able to shut down breakers via remote control for rental property.

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

I haven’t actually, but the ones I’d look at are from Schneider Electric. Nice control interface and data

@djjedmashups 9 месяцев назад

Great video as per usual :) So most of my products are Tuya WiFi products where I use the smart life app. I'm looking for some sort of smart button, like a broadlink one on Amazon which has 4 buttons, so I can turn lights on when I walk into my house. I have an old RM Pro laying around in a drawer so was wondering if this would connect up to it. If it does can I use Google home Automations for when the button is pressed if I link my broadlink account to Google home or would I need to use IFTTT to get my tuya bulbs to come on? Unless you know of any other buttons which will work straight out the box on smart life?

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

Ok soooo! Lots of little buttons with Zigbee that work with smart life. Get a little tuya/smart life Zigbee hub. They work great, are tiny, and open your world up to those 4 gang buttons.

@djjedmashups 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the reply I'll look at a little tuya ZigBee hub then :)

I am looking for a combination heater and fan that is compatible with smart home systems. I would like it to be matter/thread compatible but that is probably asking too much right now. I am also looking for something I can use to open/close my existing vertical blinds with the same compatibility. Can you help?

@AutomateYourLife 6 месяцев назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eh0HO6rztPo.html - great heater and fan combo units You're asking a lot with the Matter and Thread thing since heaters and blind controllers aren't part of Matter!

@PeloquinDavid 9 месяцев назад

I'm maybe just naive, but I'm surprised that both of the buttons you unboxed used Thread, but only the Tuo could be used outside of the Apple ecosystem. I may go for the Tuo - since I'm mostly running my devices through Smartthings - but I'd love to have the other, 5-button, design when/if it moves fully into Matter-over-Thread... I'm still waiting (with increasing impatience) for Matter-over-Thread devices in general (smart plugs and dimmer switches especially) to start showing up on the market!

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

Before Matter came out, that was the case with every Thread product. They only worked with Apple, as no one else had implemented a Thread network and control through Thread. I think we'll still see a few Thread HK-Only products come through, but less and less :)

@amberish755 7 месяцев назад

Is there anyway to connect the Ring Doorbell Plus to SmartThings (and my Samsung TV)? Also as someone new to smart homes (setting mine up now), your videos are invaluable (especially the Edge Driver ones)

@AutomateYourLife 7 месяцев назад

The feed from your doorbell, no. You could use this video to get an automation to happen in SmartThings when the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Q4X2NDvrRo.html So sadly, not much to do there.

@gtampako 9 месяцев назад

Hi Brian, great video. Can you check if Aqara works with Smart things?

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

A few Aqara products work with SmartThings, not all. There are some in the add device section now, and you'll also find some additional options with this edge driver video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D_uwxD_9-9s.html

Bryan, I am considering having the Span Panel installed. Have you thought about those kinds of products?

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, but I’m not sure of the worth on that. Seems pricey for what it does.

@obijuan- 9 месяцев назад

@@AutomateYourLife Its an expensive toy, no argument. You really (we) need to ID and study where your critical power requirements are in your house. If all outlet on for 4 rooms on first floor are all on same circuit, you can't just flip a breaker to disable them if it also includes the most important ones. Houses were not traditionally wired to isolate rooms for power conservation. And its not useful unless you have energy storage/batteries you are trying to reduce the drain. Which I do.

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

@obijuan- I just personally like Schneider’s option! Just a better electrical company is all!

@obijuan- 9 месяцев назад

@@AutomateYourLife Sorry, Schneider's option went over my head. Did not computer. A handy tool that is cost effective is Emporia Energy's monitoring kit. But does not give you on/off/disable/enable. Simply collect monitoring data.

@mitchellpeterson7943 9 месяцев назад

I've noticed that very few smart buttons seems to work with Alexa. Is there a reason for this? I'm currently in the alexa ecosystem but thinking of moving over to home assistant because this lack of functionality is a real pain. One doesn't always want to have to use their voice or sensors for everything. Sometimes pushing a button is easier.

@AutomateYourLife 9 месяцев назад

Amazon has changed how that works twice in the last 3 years...so it's tough for companies to keep up. That's my take on why.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS 9 месяцев назад

I think if the smart home was Amazon's (and Google) most profitable business that we would see everything working as WE want it to.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS 9 месяцев назад

Though not as handy as a smart button, smart plugs (on and off) could be used to trigger routines. And no batteries to replace.

@Bigglare 9 месяцев назад

Alexa is meant to be a voice system. Make a simple voice routine you can use whisper at night. “Alexa, bedtime”
