"It’s hard and clumsy to remember what to say." Okay, it’s really hard and clumsy to remember to say "hey Google, turn on the light". 😱😂😂

Can I do Zigbee -> Wifi -> Central hub? I have an issue that my home has steel and concrete between floors so have to wire in wifi extenders to have wifi across the house. I’m looking at GH for primary control at the start (and basic stuff) and then moving to HA once I get more confident.
what about tp-link and tapo
About Spouse things are really important, to make a smart home .
Your passion for teaching really shines through, great job.
Super entertaining as always!
Is it possible to connect Alexa and Phillips Hue without the Phillips Bridge?
How can we do all that you talk about
I have to buy WAPs and a server rack?
A good solution for our time, for the home.
به نظر من اینکه این کار رو بدیم به یه شرکت معتبر میتونه خیلی راحتتر و سریعتر باشه برای همین من از شرکت هوش آرا استفاده کردم برای هوشمند سازی خانهام و اجرای تجهیزات هوشمند خانه
This is a tutorial for make a tutorial
Dude you want Jarvis – in summary
omfggg I was starting to close eyes as Im watching this while I should be sleeping, and the kids screaming woke me up real hard, hollly mollllyyy!!
This video was surprisingly unhelpful… So how do I do a smart home?
This is a brilliant intro vid. I have just subscribed. I am about to self build my house, what power should I put into the walls for things like automatic blinds like the ones in your vid? Thanks.
Great video. Where can I find Light switch presence Sensor(not motion Sensor) or Presence Sensor with battery?
************
Do you have a video explaining about smart home devices? Like where to find them what are the costs etc, smart tvs, speakers and so and so
😂😂
Tinkering is fine, even fun. Struggling is no good. And that’s what happens with Home Assistant. Way too much struggle and complexity. That’s what my Home Assistant box is unplugged, disconnected ted and collecting dust.
Skvěle vysvětleno! Přesně jsem potřeboval vědět, jak propojit Google Home s osvětlením.
Another top Video. Thank you. I moved away from smartthings to home assistant in the last few months and found that it was easy enough to do it slowly rather than with a big bang. I just move them over and over one at a time. The devices and the routines. This gave me the reassurance that something was going to work as I want it without committing all in one go. Something I thought of today and I didn’t see anywhere else but no doubt it has already been done. I created tags for all my battery operated smart sensors. The Tag was the model battery that it takes. Eg cr2450. This is such a handy thing to know when you see the battery getting low and you go to the cupboard. You know exactly which battery that particular device takes. I’m sure you are all going to say you’ve been doing that for years 😂
your voice and mouth are out of sync, slightly annoying
Are you from USA ??
Hey. Great video. You wont probably see this comment as this video is 1 year old. But i try anyway. I live alone in a 1 room apartment. And I have switched all my lights to smart lights. How do I make it easier for my guests to control my lights? I wont switch to smart switches.
Don’t be locked out your home if the Internet just disappears🙏🏾
thank you
Why did you Go Back to Apple You Were on Android.
Looks like he voiced OVER himself? Looks so fake or just off….weird!

1:48 which app do you use here
Do you have a video on a light strip that indicates when it is time to leave? It would fill up over time and be green when it’s time to leave?
2:19 Motion sensors are triggered by pets, and then you have the joy of your light or whatever you think is smart to connect to them, turning on and off constantly. What’s so smart about it?
*************
I have some light in my garden that I want to turn on and off with a PIR sensor, but only between 5 and 12 pm for example. Do you think that can be done with Google because that is what I use, combined with the app Smart Life. The PIR is Zigbee and will be soon delivered to me
Hey, is there a real way to not have to download apps for each device and then link them to Google Home or other services? I want to be able to consolidate everything in one place without creating accounts everywhere
Good advice thank you
How cool
Hi, Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them.
I have a Smartthings hub and would like to replace it with the Home assistant green and a zigbee dongle. is the best way to do it is to start from scratch turning off my smartthings hub and connecting all my zigbee devices to HA ?
We are building a new home and would to maximize automation. Do you have any updates to this video that’s a year old? Anything different for a home build from scratch?
