Google French Cleat my dude. You could have gotten away with less than a single 2x4. And it would be clean AF against the wall. Looks great tho. Nice job.
Hell yeah Jason! Just be careful good sir!
Omg dude. You think HA is an addictive rabbit hole... You'll really be hooked once you get into automations/ helpers / scenes 😳😉
"God damn it's fuckin' heavy" LMAOOOO
Ahh, the love hate relationship with home assistant. I know it well.
good video
This is a pretty cool project! back of the TV was very clean!
You should do a 2023 server rack tour!!!
i would paint those 2x4's , man i was just waiting for the tv to fall over lol
"sometimes you just wing it" story of my life bro 😂
Awesome 👏I feel the same way about HA love hate thing for sure.
Best Home Assistant idea ever!
Worst TV bracket idea ever! ;)
Just add a sensor when you walk in or out of the door so it turns on when you are in the room and off when you are not...maybe even hook it up to a light switch or something.
Got something for you to think about. Instead of painting the wood, maybe cover/wrap the span between the the vertical wood with material and even mount acoustic panels between them. Would remove the 2x4 look and make it look like contemporary deco. Just a thought. 😬
To bad you didn't get the name of the FedEx chix that carried over your battery backup. Back in the day/
I feel like a 50 dollar wall mount would have gone a long ways here
I don’t think it’s a traditional VESA mount (could be wrong) and they’re like 150lbs
Jason worried about 100w, and his house draws 3000w all the time......
Agreed. I think even a cheap sturdy mount would have worked. I would have gone with a mount for sure, maybe a Cheif one if money wasn't an issue. But in the BMB fashion, why buy a mount when he could rabbit hole some 2x4's together for a mount that are not actual 2x4's and then place some recess lights behind it and create a monstrosity. Of course trying to pick that thing up alone and place it on said wall mount would be near impossible.
I just looked at Amazon for sturdier kinds of wall mounts and even they were specced for maximum of 100-150 pounds of weight, even if the manufacturer promised it could withstand a 90" tv, still the weight capacity wouldn't be enough. I know Jason's solution doesn't look the best but seriously a normal tv mount designed for normal tvs wouldn't work here. It's maybe hard to imagine how much of a weight difference there is through the video, but I think if you tried to lift that thing and then thought about hanging it with cheap thin metal you would think otherwise too.
I like these DIY videos!
You need to create a user with just dashboard access. Have the tv auto sign in with that so you don't get the menu on the left. Just a dashboard.
Editing is a fantastic skill to learn..... It's also something you never quite learn well enough because there's always something more to learn about what to keep what not to, etc to tell the same story.
Feels like this 27 minute long video could have probably been seven or 10 minutes...... I mean the walk with the dog to the garage to get boards, keep it? The few seconds of being worried the board might accidentally bump into the car?....keep it?
Absolutely love the content as far as the technology and the setup and the potential of the grand ambition you're going for, but editing is very important to maintain good quality which keeps the audience around.
that was a very funny video, loved it. thx!
Its Awsome !!!. Share that background image. Looks cool
That dashboard is great! What integrations and HACS frontend plugins do you use?
I was trying to find the video you did with automating your kitchen microwave hood fan light over the stove combo .
French cleat the 2*4's could be a good option to clean up the look.
came here to say the same thing. A french cleat of modest size with 2 lag bolts to the wall (ofc in studs) can typically support upwards of 200 lbs.... if you did one cleat with 2 lags at top and one cleat with 2 lags at bottom... should EASILY support that screen and eliminate the unsightly 2x4s
Love to know how you create that dashboard with sensors
Next time "toobuhfor" mounting is your only option, check out a french cleat.
Shelly RGBW2 works great for controlling your rgb with homeassistant
You could have hung that with a french cleat I think its called and made the mounting almost invisible.
I had no clue those were called that.
I think the better idea would have the horizontal runs attached to the TV and then the vertical run on the wall, but only slightly longer than the horizontal boards are apart. Put notices in the studs on the wall with inverted matching notches on the bottom edge of the horizontal pieces so they interlock. The horizontal stud fits into the notch holding it against the wall, and gravity keeps the TV in the notch. I am sure there is metal hardware that can do the same thing.
Instead of the two buttons to refresh, you can hold down your finger and it will bring up the context menu in Chrome, where you have refresh. To go full screen, just go to the top right, click the three dots, and select full screen. Just in case you ever run out of space.
Holy shit I love your Home Assistant could you throw a link to it, there are some things I don´t need but otherwise it's super cool
It's also super customized to Jason's situation and most of the code probably wouldn't work well for you without tweaking, and if you knew how to tweak it in the first place, you could probably do something similar yourself. It's a problem with these super custom configurations, they cannot just be simply thrown to another situation and work the same way.
it will stick half way into the room. LOL
Tuya local version was a pain, (way better than the cloud version, but that's what helped me setup the local), but it was pretty straight forward after setting up one or even a couple. I only have wifi only lights no zigbee or zwave yet.
I've been trying rather unsuccessfully to get some humidity sensors to import into local tuya and having no luck at all. They get recognised but never import
I'd like to look into something like this (home assistant not the touch screen) I'd like to find out what you have for solar and how it's integrated. I have SolarBear using the app "my SolarEdge" but have no idea how I'd get ANY of it setup (actual home assistant included). I'm mare or less looking for something to show how our panels are doing and to notify me if there's any issues with any of them, from there maybe integrate other things.
I like how you have your computers in Home Assistant. Can you tell me how to intergrade it?
my first thought on this project... OMG NOOOOOO!!!
second thought... hes mad! hes totally mad!
third thought... gimme! i want that whole rig!
next thing you know he'll have the uss enterprise bridge!
Love the project J. how can I get my hands on that interface?
xnd! 😂😂😂
you need to get rid of that wood! use a regular tv mount or if you cant find one that fits turn the wood horizontally and make french cleats.
try auto hide task bar
Last🎉
This is great, I would love to have those big ass touch screens everywhere but would get expensive quick. What smart features does the mustang have? Or is it an WIFI/BT OBD2 scanner plugged in and giving you data. Luckily for me integration for my car was already in HACs.
there a fordpass integration in HACS also
So I use to do data logging on a 2005 Subaru Forester using a Bluetooth obd-ii dongle that would connect to my phone via an app called Torque which has a home assistant plugin... So using that method you could have some logging with any obd-ii car...
Tuya + Home Assistant = nightmare. I tried for ages to get it to work but no dice.
You might want to consider putting the framing and wiring except for the comp & lights, behind the drywall. The "red hats" are not for that application. There are smooth bushings, clamps or rubber lined fittings that should be there instead. I get the impression that your carpentry and electrician skills are lacking so please do a bit of research on these topics so you can get a much more finished end result. I mention this so that you can improve your knowledge and skill sets as well have safer wiring for your family. Beyond that you did a great job and I envy your ability to code. The giant touch screen is super cool but seems very impractical. I'm guessing that most of the automation controls will never be used from that location, so I don't quite understand why a more focused control panel wasn't used. My guess is that it's a sort of master control panel to help troubleshoot a problem within the house by ruling out either the other controller or the device. Either way, your house, your toys. I would probably do the same thing if I had a large touch screen sitting around. Good luck with your current and future projects.
Those raw 2x4's look oddly out of place.
the dashboard looks cool, homeassistant seems like a giant pain in the butt though. I have contemplated setting it up in a docker container on my omv machine.. but I dunno if I want to mess with it.
it is 100% a deep rabbit hole
Don't even bother with the docker. Just spin up a VM running Home Assistant OS. You wont have the community app store if you run docker only. I only know this cause BMB and FIRST NATE walked me through it Friday night on the BMB discord. You will want that store. It also helps streamline editing the YAML file and stuff.
@@bigbigspoon good to know, thanks for the heads up
I hate to be the person who buys your house when you move out. Pretty much a blow it up and start over kind of scenario. 😂🤣
What garage lights do you use? Affiliate link? Are they smart lights?
Meross, yes they're smart
cool idea but that power draw is a deal breaker for me. I just run HA on a cheap tablet on my desk with the screen always on
4 words: French, cleats.
Jason: "Sometimes I think I am an idiot"
Yes, and shouldn't you be use to getting smacked in the face with things?
Radarr/Sonarr integration would be fantastic for the missus and the kiddos.
I just hope there won't be any problems of the TV clicking itself in the middle of the night due to some hair landing on it... But it looks really sick, I would love to look at a dashboard every now and then while doing other stuff. Have fun with your new addiction lol (At least this one is moderately safe, well until it clicks your doors open in the middle of the night but you know what I mean)
Why not make a French cleat mount???? You have the 2x4 on the wall right. You would only need one 2x4. Cut two pieces about 26" to give you play room, cut a 22.5° angle down the center line of each 2x4 long ways. So you have 4 matching 26" pieces. Mount to on tv and two on wanna with angle going down into wall. So the tv hangs and just wedges itself on the mount.
It feels like your 12 volt going out look at what the amperages for each one and then just get a 12 volt AC to DC converter with enough amperage to hold all the lights. Remember amperage will only draw how much it needs so you can get a 12 volt 50 amp brick but if you only need 12 volt 12.5 amp that's all it's going to pull so you can always have some extra head room to add more lights. Rather than wiring up all those individual AC to DC converters from the start and then you could even get one of those spider cables where it's got the barrel jack going in and then five or six barrel jacks out split usually for security cameras but they work for here too
Why didnt you just go and buy a cheap wall mount for the TV.
Guessing he would need help to pick that heavy display up alone and his 2x4 idea solved asking a neighbor or friend for help
@bigbigspoon yea the 2x4 idea is good and all but way ugly and unable to be moved to other parts of the house easily.
I have two 7 inch Pi screens I mounted on my walls. One at entry and one in master. Each one shows the dashboard relivant on boot. They are PoE. Mounted flush in wall. So leaving, push a goodbye button and tv turns onto dog channel, sets valume, Alexa plays classical music everywhere else (this keeps dogs calm) and locks the door in 45 sec. So I push, leave, and all doors lock, everything is turned off / on and I get a notification saying all is good. Same with goodnight in master. Screen turns off after 2 min. Walk up and tap to wake up.
I also have a Ubiquiti 7" connect flush mounted in kitchen. That this is awesome. I have a connect 27" in master showing my 18 protect cams around my house. I am able to use sensors in protect cams. I.e. person detection, smoke, movement, dog detection, light levels, sound hearing, etc for my automations.
First
Holy fukkkccc. You weigh 158?!?! How tall are you? Me at 5'11" in highschool I was 175. I was toothpick skinny. Holy hell! And I got up to 230, but recently lost all the weight I put on over the past 20 years since highschool and down to 192 now and perfect weight.
Saftey second!
First, S**K it Nate
