*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
Gangster... I thought I had a great setup and addiction but your house is very impressive! Probably the best videos regarding Smartthings I've ever seen. Thank you for that and some ideas I'm getting as well!!
Great job with your system. I'm definitely inspired. I've been a fan of home automation for many years and considered the X10 but I knew as soon as I got it, the next big thing would come. I think your integration of systems is awesome. I looking forward to seeing more of your work, thanks
hahah I still have x10 in my house! I got into that back in the day as well when it was all there really was for home automation. Had it controlling lights and have kept it around for 3 lights in my main floor. But I've been wanting to get cut over to smart things for a loooong time now. I just finally purchased my hubv2 this weekend! I only have a 3pack of Sylvania bulbs to go along with it but plan to start purchaging things little by little and eventually will be decking out the house like yours! One reason I was waiting on smarthings was for it to work with the caseta dimmer switches from Lutron. They finally got it working with them so I'm all on board now! can't wait to get things going!
This is amazing. Everything is so well integrated and works seamlessly. I want to turn my home into a smart home too. Right now I have wemo bulbs, and iSmartAlarm system. They don't work well together I know. So in the future I plan on getting the smart things hub and buying accessories little by little. To not break the bank lol. I would love to see more videos on this or even how you installed those awesome surround sound speakers in your house. Great video. You've got a new subscriber lol!
Sweet set up, nice house and great dog. What more can you ask for? You did some beautiful work here and while I have a different set of hardware/software, we do share some common items as well as approaches and your walkthrough gave me a bunch of great ideas for new projects and applications. Thanks for sharing it with us! Subbed!
WOW! Awesome setup! I only got an apartment right now, about 800 sq ft, but in the future when I get a better place I would love to have a sweet setup like this! I love the server rack closet, looks awesome. I really checked this video out to learn a little about Smartthings, so I got more than bargained for hehe. Anyways, thanks for showing us your smart home, it's given lots of ideas for the future. I'm going to order an Alexa dot for my house to start, and I have a HTPC, Nest, sound bar, smart tvs and other components I'm sure I can tie in to a smart home system. I'm pumped. :-D
Quite the setup. I've had Smart Things and Alexa two weeks now, and have 14 devices installed. I was using X10 for over 20 years, and always had problems with it. With all these ZWave devices I have, my system has been 100%, and I like that. I had a program called "Bill" for my X10 that let me voice control, but even more it let me write my own custom responses/alerts, with voice or wav files, (I used Hal's voice for some). I sure hope one day Amazon Echo comes up with a custom phrase ability on their app like that. I had a door open/close alert just like here. Also one for the garage door, and one for when the dryer went off. The verbal alerts is what I want to add, but haven't been able to figure out how to do it yet with the Smart things/Alexa. It would be easier if they just add that ability to the app.
For those of you who have IP cameras and want to set them up with the smart tiles app. I recommend Xeoma. No, I'm not a representative trying to sell or market Felenasoft, just a long time user. Anyway, the smart tiles app doesn't support RTSP so I was able to get around this by setting up the Web Server module in the Xeoma camera setup. From the camera to the Web Server, I was able to create a new mjpg http path and then set it up on the smart tiles app. I have a Reo-Link HD camera and wanted to see it on the smart tiles so this was a great work around. For those who have IP cameras, Xeoma has been great connecting with most of my other devices such as Kodi camera overlay. I will be working on a SmartThings app that handle pings / communicates with the Xeoma software for additional home automation features. Just waiting on Smart Tiles to allow full screen when tapping on the feed.
Hey Peter, can you share a full or partial list of the devices you have installed and / or the systems your using ... that would be awesome for people looking to research some of this stuff
What are the blue LED strips you have above the windows? Are they Philips Hue LightStrips? Do you have those light strips set to stay on 24 hours a day, or do they turn off at night when you go to bed? What an amazing setup, the strip lights in the bathroom basin look kind of trips and psychedelic to me, I like them a lot. Again, are they Hue light strips?
I started with X10 YEARS ago, but issues with intermittent control issues and the ANNOYING lights turning on (of course in the early AM) with power surges sometimes, I went with a Control4 system. I needed a system with a consistent UI design, even a non-tech can use and more away from the job of trying to get DIY devices to work. Since I haven't tried voice control since my X10 days, I'm integrating Alexa and Google's Assistant into my system to figure out what works best.
do you have/ will do separate videos on how you integrated st with harmony? do you need the newer generation harmony hub to integrate? Also, I'm interested in understanding how you have the multiple zones setup for your music. Would you be willing to show us how?
You really should look into using Homeseer as your home automation controller. You would be able to integrate all of those products and have a more powerful event engine.
I have Smartthings too, but I have been having some reliability issues mainly with the smart lights app and lights not going on. Also I have these presence sensors for the car and half of the time they do what I tell them to do.
Can we like hang out some weekend and go shopping together? You can run me through everything and help me setup all of this haha! Really cool setup! I'm inspired!
Cool set up. I have a Yamaha RX-A1060 AV Amp, that has two zones and I would really like more, so will have watch your video over and over, to try and work out how you did yours.......🤓🤑. Fortunately, I have all the other necessary smart things, alexia and harmony already. Not sure how to sort out the Kindle Fire though....
What kind of door locks do you use? I am looking for a DIY security solution. I would like to be able to set up a scene "Away" which will arm door sensors and lock the locks. Any advice. Great videos by the way. Very jealous of your set up.
Love the setup, but what happens if you loose network connectivity? Will the Alexa support for automation only drop out, or would you loose more of the setup? If so, I wonder if a backup wlan would help.
Great vid. My Five year old Grandson love Alexa. He orders all his Toys off Amazon on Her. He loves it when she makes suggestions. And the asks do you want me to order. My Grandson Simply says Yes. And it’s on it way.
Not sure if this has already been answered... there are a lot of comments here. I skimmed through them and didn't see it mentioned. Is there a video or somewhere I can read about how you have your echo setup with your receiver? When the receiver switches inputs to the AV setup, what happens to the audio for the echo? Do you have additional speakers on a zone that stays connected to the echo 24/7 so you can still get audio feedback from alexa when the TV is on? Also, how do you setup the harmony hub to switch to a particular input when the activities are powered down?
Never fails.... watching a video about smart home tech... get distracted by a dog. "Oh cool Alexa..." "Oh cool motion sensors...." "Oh cool Harmony remotes..." "Oh cool he has a web interface for his lights..." "oh coo- DOOOOG! OMG I WANT IT! DOGGY DOGGY I KNOW YOU CAN'T HEAR ME BUT I WANT TO OWN YOU!"
It's a nice setup but I don't see a whole lot of "home automation" here merely a universal remote. Essentially you've replaced physical switches with a touch button on a tablet. That's manual not automatic. Automatic is something like FIBARO where the GPS in your phone triggers your aircon to activate and your garage to open as you approach your home. Where your doors unlock as you approach; where lights switch on and off as you enter and leave a room. Where you can program the system to carry out any function based on a variety of sensor inputs.
The best thing is that all you've mentioned is possible with this setup with the addition of multi sensors of IFTTT and a GPS/based device. His system similar to mine is highly expandable.
Well then you're just being pedantic. You can set up timers and use the sensors for all kinds of different automation. What do you think home automation is?
Informative video. I'm just getting into Home Automation for my first time and will be experimenting with my own home and then helping my parents and friends with theirs. Can you help me understand why you chose SmartThings over HomeSeer? I'm considering SmartThings now, thanks to your video. Everything I've researched shows HomeSeer much more capable and customizable. It's definitely more expensive and don't want to make the error if SmartThings is equal or better. Thanks!
Hello, Mr, Peter. My name is Wayne and I'm trying to find a really good Home Automation system for my home and also learn all there is to know about building home automation systems so I can start offering the services with my company, Digital Techniques. I really, really liked your vid on your very sophisticated SmartThings set up and I would be extremely grateful if you would help me out on what I need to build my very own SmartThings system because like you, I'm not fond of the cookie cutter systems. I mainly want to control all the lights in and outside of my home; all my tvs and surround sound system, my garage door opener and yeah, also be able to keep track of where our dogs are. Hope you'll be able to find time in your schedule to help me accomplish my goal. You'll really be helping me out a lot. Thanks in advance.
First of all, let me say thank you for the video! In the bath you mentioned a motion detector that senses humidity. What was the name of the manufacture.
Hi Peter. Great Video!!! Q. Are there any Samsung DVR/camera systems that interface with Smartthings? Why doesn't Samsung integrate their DVR with Smartthings?
Nice Video, do you have a list of things that don't work if your ISP is down? I've been reading that the delays are cause from the application accessing the cloud service, but if the cloud service isn't available, none of it works...
I'd be interested in seeing an update. Have you begun using anything new? Interested in wallmount control panels, if you have any recommendations. I've seen people using OpenHAB and hacking together stuff. Hoping to just stick a tablet on my entry wall to do all of this and tie into my existing Smartthings2/Hue ecosystem.
very good setup indeed I'm trying to do the exact same thing as far as automation I want to replace my wink hub with a SmartThings version 2 hub only thing holding me back is my current investment and 25 and 25 Lutron switches
Awesome video Pete! One question: I want to have Alexa turn on my patio speakers. With your setup what exactly is triggering the turn ON of the speakers? Alexa turns on bluetooth or does smartthings trigger the Logitech? What's the easiest way to have Alexa turn on my Patio speakers while alexa is connected to my receiver?
Great video. I have played around with ST and am ready to do a full home automation. Is there an better way to setup >100 devices, scenes and triggers than using the ST mobile app? It is very tedious to use such a small screen to do a lot of setups. Like you, I have used the SmartTiles to control ST. I have used HomeSeer and Control4 desktop apps, which are much better suited to setup a large configuration like yours.
What type of rack are you using and model # if you know and where did you buy it? Can you tell me the model of the Logitech desktop system your using? Thanks
Hi Peter, can you explain what type motion sensor(s) and lighting setup you use in your bathroom, specifically in your shower area overhead? time stemp at 17:56 Thanks
I wish to do similar home automation at my home back in India where voltage rating is 230 V, 50 Hz. Will these products, mainly the z-wave switches and dimmers work at 230 V? And what about the z-wave frequency? Does it vary for every country?
can the smart things hub work with wemo? i have several wemo switches and they are very reliable but i would like to try others out. i am using the wemo maker for my garage door and i dont want to have to change everything to get a different user experience.
Hey! I want to automate my home in some way. And I wanna know what is that receiver which is in the rack that appears in the little screen "Alexa 5CH STEREO" and what does it do. And the next element you talk about which is in the rack too, what does it do? Which are the exact model of both please.
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
Your media closet puts my wiring closet to shame. I just started my exploration into home automation. Thanks for posting. Learning a lot.
I want your house lol I've only just started my home automation journey but your house is where I want to end up.
Gangster... I thought I had a great setup and addiction but your house is very impressive! Probably the best videos regarding Smartthings I've ever seen. Thank you for that and some ideas I'm getting as well!!
You've taken 'geeking out' to a whole new level. Well done, sir. Well done.
Loving your videos and setup! Your house looks awesome!
Cool video thanks! I love seeing other SmartThings owners show off their setups
Great job with your system. I'm definitely inspired. I've been a fan of home automation for many years and considered the X10 but I knew as soon as I got it, the next big thing would come. I think your integration of systems is awesome. I looking forward to seeing more of your work, thanks
I know I am a little late in the fame but I really like your set up. You gave me plenty of great ideas, thanks.
It's nice to see someone else who knows what x10 was!
hahah I still have x10 in my house! I got into that back in the day as well when it was all there really was for home automation. Had it controlling lights and have kept it around for 3 lights in my main floor. But I've been wanting to get cut over to smart things for a loooong time now.

X-10 Came out in 1979. UPB and Z-Wave are now more useful. Great Video's Peter

Dude.. Your house is awesome.. it's like the bat cave with a fridge !
John Valles I second this comment. Batcave with fridge is pretty spot on. Now I'm imagining him saying, "Alexa, play batman theme."
Quite the setup. I've had Smart Things and Alexa two weeks now, and have 14 devices installed. I was using X10 for over 20 years, and always had problems with it. With all these ZWave devices I have, my system has been 100%, and I like that.

What have you heard about The WINK 2 Hub Dahur?
I've heard of Wink, but I don't know anything about it.
Excellent setup! is it possible to get a list of some of the things you have used, such as, touchscreen monitors, head unit brand etc.???
Thank you for all the great info. What light bulbs do you use?
For those of you who have IP cameras and want to set them up with the smart tiles app. I recommend Xeoma. No, I'm not a representative trying to sell or market Felenasoft, just a long time user.
Anyway, the smart tiles app doesn't support RTSP so I was able to get around this by setting up the Web Server module in the Xeoma camera setup. From the camera to the Web Server, I was able to create a new mjpg http path and then set it up on the smart tiles app.

Guy I'm just crazy about your home installation ! I'd like to have the same house ^^
Amazing setup man❤👍🏿👍🏿 great job. You have a beautiful home.
can u make list of all your hardware?
Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of home automation on my blog at *alfredreviews. com/home-automation-review/* Thanks, Bill.
Hey Pete, thanks for sharing this great video. Can you tell me a bit about your security video set-up?

What type of LED light strips are you using?
Please answer us ?!...
I want to know how to start all these smart thing hope u can email me at oderflalegna@gmail.com thank u
Hi Peter. You should get and review Blink camera system. It is compatible now with SmartThings via community device handler.
Great videos - looking forward to more...

Hi Peter, i love your videos. Can i have list of items you used and models on "My Smartthings Home Automation Set Up"
Thanks, Williams
Awesome video! How do you have the AV equipment wired to your TVs? Thanks!
Cool stuff, man. Nice work!
Can we like hang out some weekend and go shopping together? You can run me through everything and help me setup all of this haha! Really cool setup! I'm inspired!

love the content and would love to see a video where you integrate the amazon dot in other rooms if possible
Never fails.... watching a video about smart home tech... get distracted by a dog.
"Oh cool Alexa..."
"Oh cool motion sensors...."
"Oh cool Harmony remotes..."
"Oh cool he has a web interface for his lights..."
"oh coo- DOOOOG! OMG I WANT IT! DOGGY DOGGY I KNOW YOU CAN'T HEAR ME BUT I WANT TO OWN YOU!"
Love all the 311 in your videos!! What make/model is that amp you're using for your outdoor speakers?

"A highly expandable" universal remote. Z-wave systems such as Fibaro require no human intervention.
Well then you're just being pedantic. You can set up timers and use the sensors for all kinds of different automation. What do you think home automation is?
Im impressed sir, what did you studied to do all that or you had someone that assisted you
Informative video. I'm just getting into Home Automation for my first time and will be experimenting with my own home and then helping my parents and friends with theirs.

Very interesting apartment in any aspect. Thank you!!!
What kind of alarm system do you have? You mention it in your other video briefly and I am in the market for one.
First of all, let me say thank you for the video! In the bath you mentioned a motion detector that senses humidity. What was the name of the manufacture.
Hello Peter, Great presentation. Ate you familiar with the UPB Protocol?
Found this video useful, whats that program for itunes you mentioned? "Obey everything" ? I need for my upcoming setup..
Nice setup man, nice house, but you need to change the ghetto touchscreen for something that fits the rest of the swish tech :D
Hi Peter. Great Video!!!
Q. Are there any Samsung DVR/camera systems that interface with Smartthings? Why doesn't Samsung integrate their DVR with Smartthings?
Hey great video! what's the model number of that harmony remote? Thanks 5 stars a thumbs up. Tom j.
your setup is amazing
Great video keep them coming
Great Smart House!
How many fibaro devices do you have connected to your leds
Thanks for the video! Love the setup.
good job man i have mist of these devices as well so you vids gives me alot of ideas
Nice Video, do you have a list of things that don't work if your ISP is down? I've been reading that the delays are cause from the application accessing the cloud service, but if the cloud service isn't available, none of it works...
Have you looked into Arlo Pro wireless cameras that work with smartthings?
Nice setup. Details on in-ceiling speakers?
I'd be interested in seeing an update. Have you begun using anything new? Interested in wallmount control panels, if you have any recommendations. I've seen people using OpenHAB and hacking together stuff. Hoping to just stick a tablet on my entry wall to do all of this and tie into my existing Smartthings2/Hue ecosystem.
Just a suggestion... add a list of your equipment in the description section.
Your House is cool!
very good setup indeed I'm trying to do the exact same thing as far as automation I want to replace my wink hub with a SmartThings version 2 hub only thing holding me back is my current investment and 25 and 25 Lutron switches
Donal. What have you heard about the WINK 2 Hub? I have been considering this over the Smart things hub.
How did you can carry the harmony signal throughout your home? Did you have extenders placed where the TVs are?
Thanks for sharing!
How would you do the setup for audio system when you can play music in multiple zones from multiple devices?
Do you think that a ligjhting company selling bulbs, could créate a infrastructure of zigbee connectivity inside homes?Thank you from Spain
Great set up, I send you a message and I would really appreciate a write up with what you have and what controls what. Thanks.
Awesome video Pete! One question: I want to have Alexa turn on my patio speakers. With your setup what exactly is triggering the turn ON of the speakers? Alexa turns on bluetooth or does smartthings trigger the Logitech? What's the easiest way to have Alexa turn on my Patio speakers while alexa is connected to my receiver?

What type of rack are you using and model # if you know and where did you buy it?
Can you tell me the model of the Logitech desktop system your using? Thanks
what an amazing setup thanks for showing. :-)
Hi Peter, can you explain what type motion sensor(s) and lighting setup you use in your bathroom, specifically in your shower area overhead? time stemp at 17:56
Thanks
yes plz answer
Sorry I went back and watched again. Is there a smart switch, or do I use Z-wave? I am new to automation. THANKS
Which DVR camera system are you using? Just curious which one you preferred.
You should look at Plex media server and work with some linux server stuff to consolidate some of your hardware and polish your interfaces a little.
What is the brand / model of the small amp you use for the outside?
I wish to do similar home automation at my home back in India where voltage rating is 230 V, 50 Hz. Will these products, mainly the z-wave switches and dimmers work at 230 V? And what about the z-wave frequency? Does it vary for every country?
Can you link the small amp you have for the outdoor speakers
can the smart things hub work with wemo? i have several wemo switches and they are very reliable but i would like to try others out. i am using the wemo maker for my garage door and i dont want to have to change everything to get a different user experience.
Sorry for jumping in, how did you get Smartthings to play the sound files off you mac?
I have read that there isnt an app on the Kindle Fire for Haromony. Did you sideload it?
Hey! I want to automate my home in some way. And I wanna know what is that receiver which is in the rack that appears in the little screen "Alexa 5CH STEREO" and what does it do. And the next element you talk about which is in the rack too, what does it do? Which are the exact model of both please.
DUDE! Thank you for this! Whats your average uptime now that they've released the Cassandra fixes?
(I'm about to dive into this)
How is your harmony remotes battery? The "old" one? Mine the battery cr2032 lasts for 2-3 days even using a Sony battery it sucks
where did you get your sound bits for you door opening.
your tv or "live free or die" one of those is slanted, just FYI! great video
