I am so overwhelmed with the vast information about smart home devices.

It’s a lot to digest at first and can seem overwhelming. Try just getting started. If you have an iPhone, start by using the native Apple Home app and adding one smart home device to it, like a smart light bulb or smart light switch. If you have an Android, you could pickup an Amazon Echo or Google Home hub, and try adding one device to those. Play around with it to get acclimated and see how it goes.

Thank for the great video. Do you plan to make a tutorial on icloud3 integration for location monitoring?

Adding this to the list, thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed the video! And loved the second perspective at the end. I just got a house with my partner, and have setup Home Assistant Green. Replaced every light fixture with smart LED ones and did smart switches for the bathrooms. I got some motion sensors set up for automatic lights and got the smart garage setup as well. I think for now i want to setup smart blinds, and a smart vacuum then start really working on fine tuning the automations.

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Green makes it so much easier to get going with Home Assistant, so I'm glad that's now available. Smart blinds or shades have been on my list for years, but that does not yet have partner approval. :)

what was that button on the bedside table? I've been looking for something like that for ages that doesn't have to be hardwired into a light switch panel

I believe you're referring to this: Aqara Wireless Mini Switch: amzn.to/3V7jJRt. If no, let me know what time stamp you're referring to in the video.

@@michaelsleen That's the one, thank you! I learned a lot from this video. Thanks to you I will definitely be transforming the way I do home automation in future
