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.
@andymok79453 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.
@JunshuLiu2 жыл бұрын
Tbh I’d like to see a HomePod with screen so it can be a HomeKit control center in my, for example, living room. The side bar is a new iOS UI design principle from Apple’s latest Human Interface Guideline updated from recent years. I agree that it’s better if users can hide the side bar just like in the Notes, Safari, or Photos.

HomePods, Apple TV, or AIrPort devices can be controlled in the Home App. Are you using any of these? If not, you can just control the music from the control panel, by sliding from the top right. While any of these I mentioned are basic music control, like pause/play, previous and next. You can temporarily bring the Apple Music app along with the Home control app showing in split view, when you have to frequently switch songs or manage your up next playing queues, etc.

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.

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. :(

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.
