Reminder to self to not allow wife and kids to watch this video ("Its not personal, its business!" 😅). The automated bar reminds me of a similar video Rob made on his channel ("The Hook up" for his ultra short throw projector. Reed - you should totally do something like that with your Optoma - then maybe you can convince your wife and kids how productive you have been (j/k) 🙃. Keep up the great work!

I do maintenance at a night club, and we have a huge problem with people messing with the thermostats, we end up with one or two of the six thermostats being on heat, opposite of the others, so finally was able to make an automation so that if any thermostat gets changed, they all change with it. No more watching them fight it out while the electricity bill suffers.

Withings makes a sleep tracker mat that goes under your mattress. It has pressure and vibration sensors and works with Home assistant. In case people don't want to diy the sensor.

You mentioned in your video that if you had a kitchen vent that opened you would set it to increase the audio on your alexa device. You could use a smart plug with power monitoring and plug your vent into that and use a webcore script to monitor power usage when power rises above a certain level just open/close a alexa vittual contact switch and have that trigger a alexa routine to increase the volume , then the reverse with it drops below a set level. I do this with several different devices around my house, tv, humidifier, etc. Not sure you could do this as you have a custom vent, my vent just plugs into a power plug inside the cabinet its mounted to so easy for me

If he has a vent that is wired directly and does not mind having some fun with the wiring, then a Shelly EM could be used for power monitoring.

Our dishwasher routine isn't nearly that cool. We have a dirty/clean magnet, but I also made an alexa routine so I just say "Alexa I did the dishes" and it says "OK I'll tell s****(my teen)" and then it waits 4 hours, then turns their smart bulb orange. They won't allow an alexa in their room. 😆

Hello! Im writing to you from Hungary, and I would like to ask you for a question. I’m kinda new in home automation so I would like to ask a thing. I have an Echo Dot 4, and a Xiaomi smart hub. I have some stuff connected together, but I don’t have a camera yet. I’m planning to buy a camera with 360 view but obviously I can change the view manually. What do you think, if I’m putting this camera let say above my front door (in the middle of front wall), and putting two Xiaomi motion sensors to each corner of front wall. Can I setup the camera to turn that way where a motion will be detected? Or do you prefer to instal more cameras?

I have one of the first Google Nest Thermostats.. I used IFTT to lower the Thermostat when my wife turns it too high.. But it only works when the temp goes above a certain temp.. not when it's set above a certain temp.. So if the temp goes above 70, change the thermostat to 67..

Automations over setup (might send video across): - The same temp lowering on thermostat with energy bills going bonkers - Motion lights using CCTV, ZigBee light switch and Frigate to MQTT. - Notify to Google Speaker what bins are due to be emptied next day - Notify when washing machine/dryer is finished and send push notification to tell you. Turns off auto after 30 mins to stop Spinning on dryer - Using CCTV camera to notify when someone is coming on drive. - Using motion sensors around house and selective smart bulbs, dim the lights late at night to not wake you up when going bathroom

And if you've done everything right, the critter gets soaked before it even knows what's happening :-) and will hopefully think twice about coming back :-) BTW, Matthias wandel has a video on his channel where he built a contraption (out of Lego?) to shoot bottle caps at squirrels.
