I love how you have everything set up so awesome ? and the light's are beautiful ? I should hire you to come do my house ? like that I'd love that type of set up !!!
you should automate another bathroom.
You can place a sensor in the drawer or cabinet you place guns in so in case someone takes something, you can find out
I feel like a caveman now
If you have the lighting change to red instead of softer light it could help as red doesn’t keep us awake like most lights on the blue light spectrum. So if all your lights were at red at night it wouldn’t interfere with anyone sleep pattern it’s basically like turning your house to sunset mode so everyone can get to bed at a good time without any blue light inference.
Thank you for censoring "Alexa".
Outstanding. You are a modern day George Jetson.
Can anyone of this work with an android?
This video is gonna cost me a fortune.
where did u get that cool bat signal on your bookshelf?
Sir spiking in hindi please
I am still waiting to get robot wife in 2021?
Amazon is watching you. 😉
The lights at the TV can be switched also by checking for harmony actions, e.g. when playing TV, switch on with certain lightcolor. When Fire TV, Xbox, … do something else. When off, switch off (or set previous values). Way more flexible then just checking for the power consumption (and you can use that plug somewhere else).
Your house is my grandmothers worst nightmare??.
Whoooooooo c'est incroyable ??
Its comfortable until the electricity bill show up
I am addicted to automations too , it’s crazy addictive.
Close/open sensors on teenager’s windows at night is a must ?
Sometimes I forget what is connected to what and I am sitting looking at a red lightbulb trying to remember if it means frost or rain .?
You only have an alcohol cabinet? How about an alcohol room?
I don't let my lights operate automatically. It has to start with a command from me. If I didn't do that, I could be dead for years without no one being the wiser. But come to think of it, why should I care? Problem solved. Thanks Reed.
Hi, i was looking for that dryer sensor but i can find it anywhere, any idea where I can buy it?
I wonder if he still turns off the internet lol
Where is he now?
Alexa!…(beep)….Give this guy a thumbs up!…."Ok"
he look like his related to Charles Boyle from Brooklyn 99
One more idea, having a robot to put out the thraah for you at certain time. Especially handy during lockdown period
Imagine how much his electricity bill is??
Alert me to call human expert to do the things that would be useful if automated. I mean –
The snack cupboard sensor and the internet disabler for homework time are really bad ideas (and make you a bad parent). Establish a trustful relationship with your kids instead of observing and controlling them!
I wonder how much all of this actually costs. I bet it would be cheap.
You should review illumi safe it’s a real high tec safe lamp
I wanna make my house like Back to the future part two
Sunrise isn't cool white.
Which door sensors are you using?
Your videos are amazing bro so helpful when it comes to smart homes I live in England and I'm just starting getting into smart things I'm a little bit behind time but your videos make it so much easier to understand I'm trying to make SmarTerm in England I've integrated everything into hoobs and home assistant I'm trying to find a smart thing sensor that could let me know when the postman Spain or post letters through the door I don't know if there's a smart thing plug-in or what I could do
BUGMAN
I wonder what his electric bill is every month?
He: save water
Electricity:
Surprisingly, the probably most obvious automation is missing: Heater control
Good luck on that electricity bill and the money spent on all the gadgets
Awesome recommendations!
Man, this guy straight livin in 2077.
Would you be able to link everything you have??
Awesome ?
Your application ?
That vacuum is cool, but mine just eats toys and hides under the couch.
This is overwhelming
And when the machines take over humanity, you will lose this war.
Hoping someone will see this comment, I want to buy a wireless laundry sensor but the one listed isn't available, any other suggestions i can buy?
Some good tips. Here's a couple from me.
Hang your recently washed clothes on a line outside, this not only saves a hell of a lot of money but you get a bit of excercise too.
Reverse into your driveway and/or garage, this helps you see what's coming down the street easier, removes the hazard from reversing onto a street, will improve your reversing skills, maybe even enough to reverse into public parking spaces too, although this may be a big ask, best of all you get away from your drive much quicker, saving valuable seconds on your journey. ?
