I made an updated version of this video here! Wall Mounted iPad Smart Home Set up! (iPAD controls the WHOLE house!) - 2023 UPDATE! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7JkirJkvrq8g3U.html

Dude! Not sure how I missed this one. Thanks for the shoutout! Your HomeKit setup is looking amazing! Nice job!

Lutron works all day everyday. They’ve been around a long time and are completely reliable. Smart bulbs are for accent lighting only in my home. The novelty wears off quickly. They also lose wifi sporadically. Especially LIFX.

Good video. I have been using the Lutron Caseta even before I got into home automation. They are a solid device and worth it. A big plus is they do not need a neutral wire in the switch box. I have the hub so I can control them with Home Assistant.

I would recommend that you also put Aqara leak sensors under your refrigerator (for water line to ice maker), dishwasher, washing machine, hot water heater, and HVAC air handler. These are all possible places were a leak could occur and cause water damage.

Great summary video; some really useful stuff for someone like me who is planning a hybrid Apple/Google smart home now. Thanks!

you can get some smart relay to stop the iPad charging when it`s about 80%

When you have the camera feed up, does it show live feed constantly or just when you click on a specific camera? Also what outlet did you install behind the wall mount?

How do you get around the battery swelling from being on charge all the time 😊

I need to up my smarthome game, I have a few things speakers, nest google photo hub, but no lights and my cameras are wyze.

I use iWalldock which is now Simplidock. It is a flush mount and I just run a cat6 POE to keep it powered. The new second generation wifi version of WeMo are amazing! Personally they are more esthetically pleasing than the Lutron. The Lutron looks clunky

is there a simple step by step for a begginer set up?

thnx kevin..! in the proces of creating a smart home, this video was a great help 👊🏼

Nice video! Your setup is very similar to mine. Maintaining a smart home in both Google and HomeKit, Lutron switches, Hoobs to bring in Nest. I haven't setup many sensors yet, but Aqara is the way I will go. I'm using Meross for plugs and a garage door opener, Rachio for Sprinklers, and Level Touch on the front door. Also have Nest Thermostat and smoke alarms. Subscribed to catch your future videos. Cheers.

This is so good, now I know how I'll set up my future home!

Update on this?

If my intention to use just my ring app and my Amazon Alexa features do I really need a system like home kit if these items I have on my iPad already .

Nice video, looking into putting an iPad on the wall. I also use Lutron switches and Aqara. I have several Aqara buttons for the family room and office lights. I use the Lutron pico remote stand for the Aqara buttons.

What app do you used again home plus app not available in appstore

If Apple puts a screen on a HomePod in the future you might not need this. Also, the Home app used to not have the list of rooms as a menu on the side. I don’t know why they introduced this because it looked much cleaner prior to this.

Thanks for a great video. Planning an iPad wall mount. Can you give a me a link to the recessed gang box and outlet with USB C? Thanks!

Great video. I'm at the first stages of doing something similar on a smaller scale. Thank you.

Can you access Apple Music from within the home plus app? I want to make it where people can pick a song when I have company over

Which smart plugs are the best to be used with HomeKit and Google Home Mini. I have just installed my ecobee3 thermostat in my home. I want to add more stuff in my homekit app. I'm currently using tp-link smart plugs. I want to switch to Apple ecosystem that is compatible with Google voice assistant also.

Hi. What does the icon for that Home app look like so I can make sure I'm installing the correct one? Or can you add the link to that app in the description area?

What APP is this running on iPad please? Thought you said Home Plus but cant find anything of that name other than Home Plus Lite which doesn’t look like it. Did it have a name change? Tks

Nice! what app do you use?

Is it okay to stay connected directly and for a long time on the charger?

Hallo . My camera goes out on my ipad 4. Efter 1 hour. Can you tell me why is doing that? Thanks

Hi, what kind of light bulbs did you pair with the Lutron light switch. I'm still searching.

I'm going to do the same in my new house, i've got a recessed usb outlet installed like you, however I noticed you pushed the whole outlet so it's flush with the wall. How much gap is there between the ipad and the wall using this mount?

Is it possible to have the screen go on/off when detecting motion? To spare the screen being used without need

if structure has concrete walls in between over a larger than 3000 sq feet do you recommend wifi connected system or do you recommend wired system. the structure is yet to be built

Did you get an iPad mini 4 or 5? I’ve heard that the iOS 16 coming this summer (2022) may drop support for the mini 4, so I’m not sure if it’ll be great to use it as a HomeKit control panel for long-term. I attempted to use a very-old iPad running iOS 9, but it’s slow, limited feature, and will mess up my HomeKit database. I have a 2yo mini 5 and if this is a better option for a HomeKit panel to use at home, that would be one more reason to convince me to buy a mini 6 to upgrade for primary daily use, lol.

Nice video! 5:39 That's some pretty serious delay there.

That a wonderful video keep adding more video

Why not just use Home Assistant? I think it has universal compatibility, is much more configurable and is all local.

How did you get your room photos setup?

What is the light at 0:22? Looks cool.

Wow smart!! Very well done

Anyone have the link for the iPad mount ? Couldn’t find it on Amazon

How you keep charging I pad constantly

You should have used POE, aka run Ethernet to the iPad so you can get better internet connection

Can you trigger an indoor camera to record using a separate motion sensor? I am looking to point a camera out a side window to look for deliveries to my front door, and placing a inexpensive motion sensor outside to send back a signal triggering the camera to begin recording (even though the camera may not have detected the motion through the window itself). I am wedded to Homekit, so I’m considering Eve/Thread and Aqara/Zigbee for the save. Vocolinc sold an inexpensive pair of cams but they don’t catch ANYTHING walking past my window, or even through a screen door, with any amount of reliability. :(

Kevin, thanks for sharing! 👍

Hi Kevin, did you meet the problem that aqara motion sensor cant trigger Lutron switch if you only use iPad as a hub? How do you make the aqara sensor trigger switch on instant? Thank you in advance.

Great video. How do you make the Aqara hub make a sound when a sensor opens? Is that an automation or part of the Aqara app?

Is homekit being used simultaneously with your smarthings hub?

Since the ipad was wall mounted is always plug for power supply, isnt it bad for the battery health of the ipad?

Awesome, I want to try this, thanks Kevin!

how do you automate waking the ipad?

How did you hide the cord?

Getting that 🍿

fyi ipad is always on... just the screen is idle (off)

Nice setup. Considering doing this exact same thing Hoobs, SimpliSafe, Lutron, and HomeKit. What Ipad do you have? Do you see any issues with using an older model of the ipad mini?

I subscribed to your channel because I want to use this in my home..... Hope you can help me up in this

Do you still use this set up?

It's like aapl has not even figured this out

Does the Eufy cameras show up on the iPad when using it as a display?

Where did you get the recessed outlet box I can’t find one anywhere in my area?

Could you please elaborate on the wall iPad and how to use a motion sensor to turn it on or off please? I also have a wall mounted iPad and I’d love to know how to use my Philips hue motion sensor to turn the display on or off. Thank you. Great video.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I made my own wall mount. Works perfectly and looks good. Using Control4 for my own home automation.

Dope video... Where can I find those dope HomeKit wallpapers?! 1:02

Is the homekit app only available on Apple?

You could just use a homebridge or homeassistant server to convert your non-homekit devices

If you press and hold it it sends us to commercial?

How much does all this stuff cost ?

I'd love to do this and repurpose my "old IPad" but having an IPad 4 with a nice mini monitor-sized screen (version 10.3.3, that refuses to upgrade) I can say don't waste your time. It will not upgrade, no monitoring or camera software will load or run. I've tried dozens of KZfaq walk throughs, nothing works. And even if you don't have an old one, eventually the same thing will happen, it will be unsupported as all the software upgrades and your hardware won't.... and become useless. I'll save you the frustration, here's what to do. Chuck it in the garbage. Close the lid. And never buy an I-Pad again.

KNX WTF!

Adding a fireplace control can be dangerous. What if a homeowner was not home and a hacker broke into the network and turned this on and the fire did not ignite? Major catastrophe could happen.

Why not just add magnet to the iPad, then you can move it around the house easily?

Could have bought a cheap 3d printer and make the wall mount 🤔

You mention using an old pad, but the home+ app requires iOS 14 😥😥😥

Sounds expensive 🤪

Noice…………..

Ditto

Can u come. Do mine???

America might be different but the way you tapped off the light switch is illegal here and dangerous

I am just eating food, and you?

Why do you wear a mask while working??Alone. In your house. With wires.

Great a ipad to witch on a lamp really ecologic ……

This dude has too much money.

Most of this seems like a waste of money and an unneeded hassle.

So easy with paper walls … my house in 🧱
