Follow up question, I would like to use one of the units on a front swing gate, all looks good however my gates don't perfectly close (a bit flappy/loose) so the reed switch would not work.....is it possible to just not use the reed switch if I am not fussy about if the gate has been left open/closed?
Do you know if it is possible to 2x units and they show up in CarPlay? One unit would be for the front gate (where I still have a good WiFi signal) and the other in the garage.
I with someone sold these devices. Very neat stuff.
great video , thanks so much , shelly should sponsor and link to you !
Thanks for these. Can I use resperry pi 4 or 5?
The HARD requirement is around the Raspbian Buster release of the Raspbian OS. I doubt that's going to run a Pi 5 particularly well. It SHOULD run on a pi4 though I'm yet to find a newer Project that doesn't use the omxplayer component. If I had time I'd look into it more.
Thanks for the videos! can you give us 1 year update on all your PetKit products and how they have gone, and any learnings?
Can the physically switch be a rotary dimmer?
Can you send files to the recycle bin when deleting from network drives?
No, Deleting from a Network Drive doesn't use the Recycle bin. That would require copying the file to your local computer then deleting from the network share.
Thank you. After hours of research (Meross is really very complicated!), in 5 minutes the integration of my 3 Meross components was done. Greeting
Glad it helper
What a bright 🔆 idea 💡 😂😂😂
hahahah
Hi I need some help @ 34:40 in the video when I check the overview tap I do not see the device/devices I added to the configuration please help anyone thank you I do see the esp32 devices setup from mqtt but not my devices I'm trying to track like (phone,tablets,etc...)
I don’t have any of those scene options in the nanoleaf app for some reason. I keep seeing people make scenes but I don’t seem to be able to get it to work
Thanks for making this video. I went to IKEA one of their new motion sensors (works great with Home Assistant) and spotted this. I hadn't noticed them before. Considering getting one!
Glad it helped!
how i can attch 2 set same desgin t1000s
I'm not quite sure what the question is?
@@HiveMindAutomation mean 3 set One design Run Not 3 Design 3 Set how to
Oh!! This is very interesting. Can this be integrating with voice assistens x Google Assistant?
I see no reason why not. The challeng is going to be knowing the appropriate commands to call like which buttons etc to "press"
hi as you know omxplayer not anymore available , is any other option to make it work ?
I'm not the original developer, so I'm honestly not sure. It's still working fine for me, but it was a requirement to use the older Raspbian Buster Raspberry Pi Image to get it working. If I ever get time to dig deeper, I might look at a more up-to-date option
Same for me, can't work out how to tell it to go and clean a particular zone.
We've since replaced this robot vacuum with the EcoVacs Deebot T20, so I can't even look into it anymore.
thanks for the mqttexplorer suggestion, I've never thought about a similar tool :D
It's a really handy tool for any MQTT troubleshooting.
Hi, I have a request. It would great if you could do a video on how to set the set of a LIFX light without turning it on, using Home Assistant. Set State looks to be available but cannot figure out how to get it to work. Thanks
I have struggled to integrate matter over thread Nanoleaf light strips into HA.
If they're Thread only, they can be tricky. From my research, you need to add them to Apple Home, then "remove" them from your Apple Home, and they should be discoverable as a HomeKit Controller integration. I've not tested this at all, so your mileage may vary.
@@HiveMindAutomation I will have to try this.
Great vid. My knowledge of boarder routers in HA is not great. I recently switched from ZHA to zigbee2mqtt on my HA yellow. Only way I could make this work is by uninstalling the multi- protocol firmware so i lose thread / matter support (this is not documented anywhere!). I don’t know is newer HA updates have changed this. But I would like to have Matter and z2mqtt working together on my HA yellow!
Not sure how it works with Z2MQTT, on my Yellow, I just use ZHA. The difference in ZHA is to select a linux socket instead of the /dev/usb device for the ZHA interface. it MIGHT be the same in Z2MQTT, but I've not used it.
great video on VM install for unraid. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome channel mate. Love your content.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks
What is the updated image to downdoad from github? Now thats its 12.1 I see a similar named file: haos_ova-12.1.rc1.qcow2.xz
Lifx is the worst, CONSTANTLY "gone dark"....you'll get used to that phrase.
Sorry to say I don't agree with you and I don't think your experience is universal. I've NEVER had a problem and I've been using LIFX gear for ~ 7 years.
I got mine on a sale last year, which is about 12 months after you did this video. I paid AU$999 new, I think I was very lucky. Sadly though, to take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate, I will have to update my MBP M1 Max. Other than that, I am finding this size to be the new standard for productivity.
As far as I can tell, the 120Hz is only available through DisplayPort Connections. I'm still really happy with this monitor and 100% agree with you about Productivity. I don't even think having 2x 27" 16:9 Monitors would be as good
Might not be a good look to run a continuous animation in a significant area of the screen just jumps all over the place when you edit your talking head. Quite jarring.
Yes I've had similar comments. I'm trying a few different things to resolve this issue.
This is really really good. Thanks!! I think you could also recommend some cameras (common ones like Reolink CX410) and show to to step up and also access from mobile. It would be the best Surveillance set up in youtube. Thanks again.
My current setup is mostly Ubiquiti. I might do some more Camera Comparisons in future. For this project, so long as you can get an RTSP Stream, you should be good.
@@HiveMindAutomation yeah, that's the main problem. I've contract with ADT and the camera Im using is " ADC-V724 1080p Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera" but they basically block the access.. even the panel " Qolsys IQ Panel 2- Telus" doesnt work if you dont have a contract. Thanks
HI. So I set up one of my plugs to turn off when I leave, and turn on when I come back, and it's working fine. What I can't make work, is to do the same for the other phone in my household, to turn off the second plug. In other words, when I leave it shuts down my room, when the other person leaves it turns off the other room. It just doesn't work for the second phone.
Without knowing anything about your setup, I'm not able to offer much advice here. If you're just using the Tuya Smart App itself, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to suggest anything. If you're integrating into Home Assistant, it suggests that the Person entity presence detection isn't working properly
@@HiveMindAutomation Thanks
Thanks great … can i use this also with the rasp pi zero2 w with the cam v3
Honestly I don't know. It's likely that it will struggle a bit to run multiple streams due to resource limitations. I've never used a PiZero W though, so I honestly can't be certain.
Thanks for this. I run a 60 device strong ZHA (only) network via a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. It's been a flawless radio with great range, long antenna and extended using a USB cable away from the rack. Some of my more important devices don;t do MQTT so I need to stay with ZHA> I am still uncertain how to add thread/matter. Is it best to migrate to a combined stick like the NabuC one you have used here? I still don't even know whether migration upgrades are needed (into the future)...simply due to a Sonoff stick like the one I have becoming end-of lifed or unsupported with ongoing firmware etc ? So do I wait for the release of a new combined Sonoff ZHA/Thread stick? (If so, which one)? Or do I leave what I've got and simply just add a second matter stick? There is never any manual on this zigbee stuff.. just trial and error. Nobody lays out any "best practice". You learn what works trial and error as you go. I'd appreciate your comments on which is the best path to take to upgrade to the ability to add thread devices in the future. Thanks
I think if you’ve got the USB Porta available just get a separate Thread USB stick. There should be a listing of compatible thread radios on the Home assistant site
Thank you for the help and step by step tutorial, i finally can do a proper use for my old raspberry pi 3, a tip if you are having troubles with video streams / codecs from different vendors, try to use always h264 instead of h265, also video source resolution should be minor that the monitor total resolution, so in that case you can use 2nd stream source from cameras if you have a high resolution survelliance video camera
Good tip! Glad to give old Pi's New life!
I have negative too - the lights are damn bright. If you need a blacked out room at night this will annoy you. Edit - thanks for the video!
Good point. I've had issues with some other devices and bright LEDs. A small strip of Electrical tape solves the issue quickly.
@@HiveMindAutomation Excellent workaround - my undoing is my current networking prowess - currently everything is under construction so I have to keep removing tape on and off the device to confirm if its a hardware issue or a software issue with my ACL/VLAN rules - again, everyone else who's not an idiot like me will easily overcome this with tape! Thanks again and take care.
Does it connect back to the wifi network automatically once the power goes and comes ?
Yes. it will automatically re-join Wi-Fi

About those fingernails.......
I've been better at keeping them trimmed.
I dident learn anything from this ok you no what you are doing but you did not run it past us rubbish sorry just rubbish
Thanks for watching. If there's something specific you're wanting to learn maybe let me know what it is though, rather than just complaining you learnt nothing.
Just separate the internet of the devices with the one you commonly use
Doesn't solve the latency problem though
This plug is not good at all. After being plugged in for a while, it gets very hot, too hot to be considered safe. I have never had a plug that gets this hot after being plugged in. I don’t dare to use it any longer than this. I don’t trust it at all and feel unsafe.
All my Grid Connect devices have failed.

i am thinking of buying them . but i have a question ... do they work with 2.4 ghz wifi too? i only want to connect them to my iphone
They are Matter over Thread, so they won't run on 2.4GHz Wifi. You need a Thread Border Router that would connect to your 2.4GHz WiFi, and act as a bridge. That said, I believe the iPhone 15 has a Thread radio built in, but I'm not sure if it'll interface directly. If you're looking for smart lightbulbs that explicitly work on 2.4 GHz Wifi, I HIGHLY recommend the LIFX branded lights, but they're a bit pricier, but haven't yet adopted the Matter standard. For a less pricey option, Wiz operate on 2.4GHz and there's now Matter over Wi-Fi bulbs available.
lone wolf from Australia presenting home assistant videos thank you
Pretty much the whole reason I got started, there was nobody else in Australia doing Home Assistant stuff for Aussie Audiences.
thanks
Hope it helped
@@HiveMindAutomation yes it helped. 👍
Very interested in content like yours, and subscribed! Having said that, the scrolling text in the background is too distracting for me to actually watch the video - have to simply listen to it. 😅 Any chance you could remove that in future videos?
Maybe just a simple animated GIF?
hi sir any idea can it add to homekit ? via HA
Yes, you can pass it through to Homekit from Home Assistant. There wasn't any tricks to making it work either, it's just a standard Climate domain entity.
I had a feeling you were going to use the RGB to flash blue and red like a police light on motion.
I'd originally planned to just turn the lights on.... but now that you mention it......

I really Got Alot Of Help, And Information, From Your Video. MORE Than I Recieved From Other People, Filming Their Video's. Thank You For Doing This For Me, And Other's, Who May Need To Learn, By The Visual Tools That They Have At Hand. Thank You! Rick C.
Glad I could help
Why not just install landscape lighting? Because the low voltage transformers (they are powered through) have dusk/dawn photocell sensor and timer functions to make their operation effortless. Plus you get the added benefit of adding to your homes curb appeal and your cameras won’t have to readjust all their optical sensors and value settings to try and capture a clear and balanced image each time there is a motion sensor event. Also...... people are less likely to mess with properties that have landscape lighting that might put them at risk of being spotted in the act, or identified afterwards.
Good Plan, I might check that out.
