I’m not sure if people are just looking for someone to hate/something to be upset about or if they have some deluded notion that their idea of sustainability or smart home is the only one in existence. I’m absolutely baffled that people in the comments are complaining that this home is not at all sustainable or moving towards that direction. It has SOLAR PANELS and battery backup people. I’m even more baffled at people in the comments saying this home is not a smart/automated home. For crying out loud, google home/assistant can automate every single product on this list except for solar panels. Quit complaining/negatively criticizing someone trying to do their part to be more efficient and sustainable in their lives. Live yours and if you don’t like the concept, come out with your own video about sustainability and automation.

I work for a security company, and I admire your smart home setup. My only concerns, 1. Who monitors your alarm system? 2. Your alarm solely works on wifi, there for if your Wi-Fi goes down, you’ll never get alerted about anything. 3. Your sensors and main hub are registered to transmit its signals over 2.4GHz (same as your lower band Wi-Fi) easily jammable. I’ve done it with a $5 RF remote off amazon, and jammed my ring, nest, simpliSafe etc.... which I purchased just to test since I’m in the industry. Other than your outdoor cams power lines being easily accessible, and all of your security measures relying on Wi-Fi, I like the fridge!

These smart home devices might cost more up front, but the intention is that they ultimately save money over time. Take the Tesla for example, the amount of money saved on fuel will soon pay for the extra cost; solar panels too are great money savers, my neighbor has solar panels and he cools his entire 3000+ sf home for less than $50 per month and he runs his AC all the time, by comparison I’d be paying hundreds of dollars per month if I ran my AC like he does in my non-solar panel home. I’m more concerned with privacy than costs when considering these smart devices.

How are these financed? What's your opportunity cost? I would suggest talking to your financial planner.

ChrisKarlHolzer Solar panels, after tax credits, can cost somewhere between $11k and $15k. Of course you could also lease the panels. They oftentimes add value to your home if you bought them, but could be a deal breaker if you lease them and have to negotiate with a potential buyer that they’re worth paying a monthly lease. Overall they will reduce your electric bill, which will reduce the cost of charging that Tesla. Speaking of Tesla, per Tesla’s website, a battery for the model 3 can last up to 500,000 miles dependent on variant you purchase (standard, mid-range, long-range), but will last at least 250000 miles. Electric costs, even without solar panel is way less than the cost of gasoline. I only drive my crv 9 miles per day to my park n ride, and maybe an average of an additional 30 miles per week for errands. I fill up once or twice per month at a little less than $30 per fill with today’s gas prices; with my driving habits and vehicle, I am clearly in the outlier for drivers, but I’m still spending $30-60 per month on gas. $60 per month is roughly what I pay in the winter for my electric and perhaps $90 to $120 monthly in the summer. Back to vehicle cost now, with a fully electric car such as the Tesla featured in this video, the owner can drive up to 400 miles on a single charge costing roughly $22 full charge, they do not have oil and filter change because, well, they do not have an engine, Teslas have an incredible low depreciation compared with any other vehicle, and they’re rated the safest vehicles to drive. I will not pretend to know a whole deal about each piece of tech in the video, nor did I advise anyone to go out and get these tech, but the point I was making is that the intention is for technology to save you in the long run; which incidentally is what has happened with just about everything. I have the Samsung flex washer, and I can’t tell you how much it’s saved me not just in electric costs but also detergent (there’s not been a day where I regretted the money I paid, except the fact that I did not also get the matching dryer). Anyway that’s all I have to say, do a lot of research before investing in anything.

I’ve noticed lots of people saying “Alexa” or “Home Kit”. Neither of these will work for an overall control hub. Currently, Alexa barley supports Z-Wave or Zigbee and Home Kit is very picky about any device in general. Home assistant, on the other hand, can control everything. It’s takes a lot of work but is often the best option for universal control.

AIDIL They are working on that but there a “dominance” issue where one company is open source and another is not so in order for them both to work together- one has to get permission. Alexa does not own these devices and these devices don’t have the voice command abilities that Alexa has. So in order to work together one has to go through another to complete the task. You won’t see any one company having full control until that company “does it all.”

Long story story short: I wouldn't want people I love to worry about things crumbling around them, in their twilight years. So, I, basically, had the house structure rebuilt, from the ground, to the roof (with modern tech integrated). Now, there is no electric bill. And, I can see if someone is trying to break in. 🙂 I have solar panel and battery install pics. I, also, have closed cell (low VOC version) foam install pics.

The irrigation would come in handy for rural people, but those in Rural America it seems are living in mid-century cottages with not much internet access in the area. Sustainability shouldn’t be limited to turning your house into a “smart home” where Artificial intelligence is being used to conserve energy use on everything. Also, if you want to lower your carbon footprint even more, ditch the cars and walk, bike, or take public transit everywhere. Good chance there’s a bus system in your city if you live in a smart home.

@@HeyAshleyRenne Running the numbers based off your list you provided, (taking some guesses on quantities) I'd estimate you payed in the neighborhood of $20,000 for all the tech for your smart home not including the solar panels. I can give credit for some the standard appliances like the washer and dryer as those have a high cost to start and you spent just a little more for the connection perks. So all in all, I'd say your smart home cost you around $15K...that's a car for most people. If you don't consider yourself wealthy, I imagine you haven't seen a lot of the rest the country. That being said, I like seeing the cool tech, but I'd caution telling people you're not wealthy because you don't have butlers when you have a $3,000 lawnmower doing your work.

Sarah Goodson Then you’d best not be a hypocrite Sarah. You’d better destroy your smartphone. I’m not being facetious either. Your smartphone collects way more data on you than anything else. Ever notice that the ads you receive on webpages are related to things you haven’t googled, but have spoken about? So, if you are that frightened, get out the hammer and go off grid. Right now! Someone could be hacking your phones camera whilst you’re on the can. Or, accept that privacy is a 20th century notion, and unfortunately, is something we now have to live without. Soon people will be wearing smart glasses with cameras. If you so much as trip or fart in public, an algorithm will identify who you are, and everything about you. And if the people who saw you fall/fart/humiliate yourself, decide to retrieve the (automatically recorded cache of the) last few minutes of video, to upload the humiliation, then tough luck. It’s online. On the flip side, you enjoy instant everything from Uber/Uber eats to emails. So, what do you want? Convenience and modernity and youtube? Or Stone Age privacy? You can’t have both. 🔨 smash it up. PC. Mac. Phone. Smart tv. Router. All of it. Your parents lived without it. You can too right?

Even though it’s a technology gadget madness, if we were to review each individual device based on its efficiency, durability and most importantly dependability its not yet up to the mark. Garage Genie seems convenient but just not crime safe, lawn mower amazing but does it cut all sorts of grass needs more development, nest devices do they have privacy regulations on them, they are all WiFi depended if a human were to lose their phone or forgot to charge their phone it would be an issue, Door lock 🔐 should have a manual way as well, doorbell definitely a must, outlet for electric devices probably needs more refinement, how hacking safe are all these devices, and when exactly can we charge our cars in our garage without depending on Tesla. Just saying. There is a lot of room for improvement and durability. But it’s a good beginning. Second generation of products will be more secure and efficient. More security and privacy.

@@2cool0 Depends on location. Even if you live in some big city with gigabit connection it's possible that someone may accidentally damage the line. Consumer connections often dont have any backups from ISPs, and it can kill your internet for a few hours. I happenned a few days ago to me, internet was out for 2-4 hours. I could still enjoy my Plex server shows and movies and my IoT working without any problems. Which is important, because, for example, when we get our kid ready to sleep he's used to relaxing with dimmed light. If that stopped working and it was just full on or full off it would be a lot harder to get him to relax and go to bed. Then once you move away from big cities things get even worse. Majority of the planet actually does not have wired internet, only wireless mobile networks. In out country house I had to install a big ass Mikrotik LHG LTE antenna to get more or less reliable 3-4Mbit. Sometimes if I pay extra for mobile operator I can boost it to 10-20Mbit, but it's hit or miss, sure they remove restrictions from their side, but signal strength and tower load stays the same. If i'm lucky I get 8-10 Mbit. But if a lot of people are using their internet from the same cell tower it gets worse. Then it does not even have to be your connection problem. There are a lot of links between you and 'smart' server, and any of those links can go down. There were already issues when Google IoT servers went down for a couple hours, all their 'smart' devices turned dumb for that time. Sure it's just a few hours. But it's out of your control, and it can happen at very inconvenient time. And I'm not even touching things like privacy concerns with them collecting data and basically having a backdoor to your home network. Like imagine Hue Bridge, it's connected to your LAN and can do anything on it, like accessing your network shared folders... And uploading them to the 'cloud'. Anything with wifi is basically a mini PC that can do anything with your LAN unless you take precautions to isolate it with firewalls and VLANs. And there's also an issue of companies just going out of business and shutting down their servers. It happened to a couple of such companies already. Then in most cases you can just toss their devices into garbage bin, unless they had open APIs or used common protocols like ZWave or ZigBee or something like that.

@@nixellion hmmm those are some good points. So how do you have your smart devices work without your isp? How is that possible?

Excellent video, I hope it encourages some people to dip their toes into the smart home water. I've gone the Home Assistant route, I want one app controlling all of my devices on a local network (no cloud). It's obviously a bit more fiddly but I'm working hard to get this all integrated and rock solid. One thing I noticed though about your video - the part about smart sockets saving power for items on standby, I'm not sure that's quite a big saving as the smart plug also uses power (even when the load device is switched off). Thanks for the lovely video 🤗

Many companies make the exact same type of item. I bet it is even made in the same factory in China as the others.
