That's a great automation! When I was a kid I put my laundry in the washer and it automatically washed, folded, and transported to my bed. My new washer and dryer though didn't seem to come with this function. Haha
I absolutely LOVE the mini garage for the robot vacuum! Absolutely genius!
I have got to stop watching your videos, every single time I watch them, YOU COST ME MONEY!!! Thank you so much for this one, I've been looking for smart button alternatives and didn't know about the Broadlink buttons. I like home automation but have learned I still enjoy button pushing. Being able to turn on all the things you want to turn on at once by the press of just one button is amazing so thank you again for all that you do, keep up the great content sir!!
That vacuum hiding trick is excellent. I may have to steal it and make the robot go live under the stairs.
That staircase looks Awesome. Very intelligent 😍👌
This is a cool series! Giving me some inspiration for my house. The end though 🤣 It’s the automation that never fails.
OMG! That door for vacuum robot is perfect idea :D I'm starting building that tomorrow, that's just awesome!
The stairs one was amazing!
Lol the motion sensor stairs… very billie jean
I’ve always liked that stair lighting automation, but I would want to fade them on and off so it is more smooth and less jarring. To each their own, though - it is still awesome
I like the one with the robovac. You can do the same with a robot lawnmower.
I like that you explain the advanced feature and also propose an entry-level solution! great vid as always!
So down for this series.. I love it. Now I need to go buy a fog machine 😏
I’ve set up a couple of virtual switches in ST to help with the triggering of automations. GUESTS switch disables all of the time based stuff / motion sensor notifications/ turning off the outside lights if we have guests over (you remember guests). SCHOOL DAY toggles whether the bus reminders are run or not on a weekday; don’t need the audiovisual reminders during school holidays. CLOTHES ON LINE reminds me to bring in the laundry one hour before sunset / sends us notifications if the weather changes to rain and we need to save the clothes from getting wet again. I’m sure you guys have other FLAGS we should all be setting on out systems.
Love the Robot vacuum garage. But how does it get back home and then close the door?
In 3:41 he also used moving stage lights to turn to red and a set to a specific shape by using DMX, I don't know how to integrate DMX to smart home but I like how he did that
My bedroom light turns on when my kids turn on their light first thing in the morning. That way I know if they are awake or not!
Just found this..thx for the tag on the fog machine portion. Your assumptions were on point. Working out that latency issues and will share more details on my YouTube soon. Awesome video and details!
Great video, I'm looking forward to this series
