All right, letās hear YOUR opinionā¦ does my home automation go overboard? Is that even possible?! š How I set up the automations: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/insane-automations/
-
We're using NFC tags behind switches as well, but it's designed to bring up the documentation for that switch, so at a glance you can see: - a reminder of what that switch controls - under what circumstances the switch fails ("unavailable if ZigBee repeater on 1st floor is down", etc.) - how to get the desired action done if the switch does fail ("alternatively, press and hold XY switch") Approval Factor is pretty good!
-
LOVE The robot vacuum specific room cleaning button idea! Itās so incredibly practical!
-
Reed I'm really enjoying this series where you show different home automation examples. I don't care how crazy they seem keep it up because all of them are great for getting my creative juices flowing!
-
i have a similar automation to turn on the lights when someone knocks at the door. it is better than motion sensor as it doesn't get triggered by everyone.
-
My best vacuum hack is making an area called "movie night" which covers under and front of the sofa so when we take kids to sleep, Roomba takes care of the popcorn bits AND this made me think of programming Roomba not only for areas but also - scenarios. Makes perfect sense for us.
-
I have a routine similar to your "Kids Out Of Bed" one but when their room doors open any time after their normal bed time, it turns on our lights under our bed to gently get our attention in case we need to help. If you're in a deep sleep, you can maybe miss it but being the light sleeper I am, I rarely don't react and it's been incredibly convenient.

You should do a day in the life showing all you automations that you use
-
Love your automaton ideas bro, sometimes you inspire me and give me ideas, so thank you
-
As always super videošš¼ just great to see how your family is participating. Adds a lot of fun šš¼š
-
Wow, this is my favorite automation video yet. I need to get some of these setup, awesome!
-
Imagine banging a random part of a table and a gun shelf opens up
-
THANK YOU! Your channel is awesome. I have been automating my home since windows 95 using some Radio Shack light controls. Look forward to adapting your ideas!!!!
-
To get up, i have a cat, smart bulbs mimicking natural sunrise, and alarms.
-
Your channel is fantastic! Keep it up man!
-
Reed, I'm impressed with all the possibilities you're showing here! It's so much more than the standard light bulb and scenes stuff. I'm still pretty new to this stuff, so excuse my possibly silly question... But can a ConBee 2 handle all these extra buttons and sensors? Since I wouldn't need a gateway for every brand it would seem like a good solution, wouldn't it? Thank you!
-
Another Saturday, another smart home solve video!! Love the vids, keep it up ;)
-
These are generally great idea, youāll have a yield to them, but they. Are entertaining at a minimum, awesome unique idea for some! Keep them coming!
-
I've done the wall switch NFC tag idea. I did it by cutting up a oversize NFC tag and using masking tape, but it works. I'll have to consider adding some more for guest mode and that kind of thing.
-
Just right for all! Can't wait to set up. Thank you.
