Nice vid, although it doesn't feel like the end without your theme track playing (and the [dad] jokes) 😀😁
ปีที่แล้ว
Thanks. Your Videos are great. By the way: For reloading the theme or other things simply push the "c"-key and input "theme" and you can reload your theme from everywhere or do other things (navigate, reload or restart and when you delete the ">" directly check every sensor)
Reed very excited for this channel. I would love to see a start to finish WLED tutorial from wiring to setting up. I know there is videos out there but nobody has done a front to back tutorial. Thanks for all your contributions and congrats on the new baby!!!
Could you make us a video showing your Home Assistant install setup: Which Device, OS, Steps to install, Initital Configurations, etc. ? There isn't anything online that shows this clearly step by step in simple terminology (and I'm a techie geek!). - Thanks and keep up the great work! - Coach Mike
Loving this new channel already. We redid our house these past 2 months and because of your videos I jumped into home assistant and Lutron diva/pico. Loving every minute.
I highly suggest you use the grid card instead of the horizontal stack card, you will have to less repetitive work for each row, plus you can change the amount of columns later if needed. So instead of `type: horizontal-stack` you would replace that with: square: false columns: 2 type: grid The cards would stay the same and just keep adding each -type and entities and not needing to keep adding more horizontal stacks.
I’m glad you started this channel! I FINALLY recently switched away from The failing SmartThings to Hubitat, and then to HA and I LOVE IT! It’s definitely a learning curve, and I still can’t get some things to work (withings & Nest cameras) but hopefully I’ll figure it out soon! I installed it on a Dell Optiplex Micro I bought off of eBay. It’s a better and cheaper solution to using a Pi! Thank you for your service to the community and keep up the good work!! I love to see that I’m not the only one that deals with the “wife approval factor” for automations! 😂
Thanks, Reed! I was just looking up how to change the appearance of the dashboard. I think your idea of doing a few items then copying and pasting the yaml to do more is just good common sense. I added a sensor yesterday and when I went to add another one I copied the whole tile and just changed the device. And that just seemed perfect to me. I'm loving using HA!
Ok… Like the video, but I’ll have to watch it on the computer and not my phone. Would be great to add the zoom in feature and the highlighted mouse so we can read the text easier and follow cursor motions easier. Looking forward to completing this one and watching new ones to come… great kickoff!
@@reedssmarthome there’s also seems to be a level where f experience and familiarity you are expecting from watchers of this one as you are not taking the time to click through the process at a pace a beginner would need. If you’re targeting beginners, a slower pace showing all clicks to get from beginning to end would be great.
This new channel is great, maybe you can make a "tour" about your dashboards which you use on a daylie base and what informations are important for you.
I am using a custom mushroom theme within my picture elements (home plam), suddenly these unwanted borders arrived, I thought it was a shadow box issue. Thanks to you I didn't know the new update had caused this, introducing ha card border color you highlighted has now prevented me from pulling out my hair. Thanks a great video.
Thanks Reed. loving this new channel. I'm hoping you can dive a bit more in depth on your configurations. The HA forums are great but there's something about a video tutorial that feels more complete, and ultimately, more helpful. For example: How are you configuring your cards to be sliders instead of toggle buttons? Your dashboard is exactly what I'm looking for and you're honestly the sole reason why I started this endeavor. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Great video, Reed. Would love to see a video on how you actually created your dashboard with all the subtle design nuances, like having all the lights stacked without having backgrounds behind the buttons. The dashboard you created was cool, but in your video you only showed how to use HA elements as opposed to anything Mushroom.
Also, how did you get your dashboard to span 3 full columns with margins on the side? Masonry mode only does 2 columns for me on my iPad or Mac App, but Panel mode doesn't give any margins which looks too cluttered and stretched.
I’ve been setting up my HA setup for over a month. I have run into SO many road blocks that I haven’t found solved in forums or videos. A few channels really give a play by play. But so many assume all things go well. And you can’t ask questions in the smart home forums because you will get berated. Example, Synology update recently disabled USB dongles right as I set up my Conbee so then I had to read people’s solutions which involved coding. Eventually I read somewhere that if you plug it into your PC and complete a firmware update, it can work. Another example, getting Aqara devices set up on HA is labeled as “easy” but if you’re new to HA, then it isn’t. (Hint: I had to restart my server and not only hold down the button, but also press it randomly.) It think there is a hole in the market for basic play by play and adding in common mistakes or “if this happens it might be this.” I feel like a lot of stuff assumes all steps go perfectly. Might have to crowdsource problems.
Could you maybe do a dedicated video on installing HACS in Home Assistant, in the current way? There are other tutorials online, but most are quite outdated
Another tip for a compact light card would be to use the grid card. Instead of a vertical stack of horizontal stacks. You can have a 2 column grid and get the same effect.
Hey Reed! Killer new channel dude. Quick question. @ 3:53 you show kitchen lights, back door lights, dining lights... What card are you using for those dimmers, and how did you get them to fix all within the same card? I can only seem to add the mush light or new tile cards individually but I like how you've grouped them into what looks like a single card.
Loving the new channel as the first one was informative and fun but not as technical as this video is. A quick question. Will you be doing stuff for Hubbitat or are fully devoted to the HA platform. I dipped into the Hub and when I went to see what videos were offered, limited videos popped up lol😅 If you’re completely H.A now, guess I’ll jump over so I can follow your H.A from Zero build series.
Thanks! Yes I'll be covering the other platforms as well, not just Home Assistant. I'm working on some automations now and I'll be setting them up on a mix of platforms.
Congratulations on the new channel, and the new baby too! This video just confirmed my suspicion that HA is way over my head. Can't decide on Hubitat or Smartthings. I would like local control but I need easy, like alexa routines easy. Recommendations?
SmartThings is going to be the easiest. Hubitat is between SmartThings and Home Assistant on how easy it is to use. I'm planning on doing an update video on this but this video is still pretty relevant th-cam.com/video/NNpko9jUZo8/w-d-xo.html
Love the content! Really wanna get my first hub, but with matter just coming out, I was hoping that you could do a video on which hubs are best. Also, quick question, with matter you can integrate most devices... so hubs provide zigbee/zwave access, no?
For this "reload theme service" problem: There is this "Reload automations automatically when a Blueprint is changed" blueprint in the community forum that uses the folder watcher to automate this step for blueprints/automations. I'm pretty sure you could make something similar for the themes folder too.
Hi Reed. Luv all the content you put out. Would it be possible to make a tutorial on how to setup Home Assistant for newbies? I've been with Smartthings from the very beginning and have Alexa running as well. Thankyou !
@@reedssmarthome Apologies if this is a repeat post. When I started following SmartHome channels around 2019/2020; there was a few that I followed / subscribed. At the end of the day it comes right back to SmartHome Solver. Reed you make it simple and thankyou. Cheers!
HI Reed. Love your videos on Smart Home Solver. Good luck for this channel. Wanted to know if there are any professionals who can set up Home Automation ursine Home Assistant or other platforms. Looking for someone in Houston, TX.
Does Home Assistant have a workaround for the Lutron Caseta 75 device limit? Wondering if there is a way to get about 110 Lutron devices working together will with automations (and a voice assistant). Congrats on the new baby and the new channel! 🎉
So you can get multiple Lutron Caseta hubs but you will just need separate accounts for them. Then I would guess if you connected both hubs to Home Assistant it would be fine. I haven't done that myself to test it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I am a newbie to HA and your channel has been a TREMDOUS HELP, THANKS. I have a dashboard problem I hope you can help with. I have several Automations that I would like to execute from the dashboard by clicking on a BUTTON. Some of these Automations need to be toggled ON/OFF. Any suggestions? Thanks David
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us who just started... Two questions: 1. Is it possible for users to log in from their phones and see only the dashboards but no links to settings? Any way to hide that control panel on the left? 2. Can you create multiple panels and have each user in the house see their personalized panel on their phone? Or what is done is seen by everyone?
Hey Reed :) This tablet + wireless charging station is no more available on the market. Any idea which model I could grab ? (I need dock + wireless charging) Thanks and congrats for baby and new channel ;)
Will you be dropping your support/recommendations for Eufy products given the recent cyber security and privacy scandals? Will you take your old video's recommending eufy products offline?
Is there anyway to setup home assistant so that you can see multiple homes by swiping through the dashboard? An example situation would be monitoring a vacation home from the home assistant dashboard you have set up in your primary residence. I have only found one video solution and it seems rather clunky. Maybe an idea for a future video?
Hey Reed! I want to know how it's your default instalation of HA and your recomended hardware for someone who it is starting whith authomatizations. Greetings from Argentina!
First, good luck with this new channel and I'm hoping to learn loads, I have HA on a raspberry pi thanks to @Paul Hibbert , The main question I would love an answer to is that I have a Hue bridge, smart things bridge ,Ajax lights and switches ,aqara sensors , tuya smartlife light switches and bulbs, kasa smart plugs, BG smart plugs, boundary alarms, again thanks @ Paul Hibbert for most of these and Alexa and Google of course. I'm trying to make them all work on many platforms eg samsung sensor to switch on light at a specific time which works great but this was programmed in smarthings but can I scrap or get rid of these hubs and do it through HA only or do I need the hub still to make them work,I have some things working on Google some on Alexa some on Hue and so on so I needed a complete restart, please help
Thanks! I did a video about switching over from SmartThings to Home Assistant th-cam.com/video/3xMvjOig8J4/w-d-xo.html and there is an integration in Home Assistant to bring in your devices connected to SmartThings. I still use it and it works great.
Hi Reed, I was about to find and post my question in one of your old video (smart lock), but I decided to post here because it has better chance to be seen by you. So sorry if this is not related to this video. My question is, do you have a solution for automating secondary door lock such as "swing bar lock"? I recently upgraded my lock to Nest Yale, but since we always have our swing bar locked, it breaks the meaning of the automation. not so smart after putting a smart lock, huh. Would appreciate your feedback. and thanks.
Here’s a question: What’s the difference between Thread and Matter? Does any of it have anything to do with stuff that’s in our home things now? Will either of them work with Apple smart home things? Or make them easier, cheaper or more plentiful? I have a hodgepodge of stuff via the ADP Alarm app and Alexa. I’d like to change it all out to Apple and just use my AppleTV
Matter will work with Thread devices. For example, Eve has some Thread sensors that work with HomeKit. Soon those will receive a firmware update and will also work with Matter. So yes when Thread sensors come out then it will work with Apple's hubs that are a Thread boarder router. Make sure it's not the newest less expensive Apple TV because that does not have Thread.
Hey I love this theme but I don't get how you set the background of the cards. I have some gray color as background but like to have it transparent. How do I do it?
I like the idea of a channel where you can get into more details. But I have to ask, and I''m not being rude, is this going to be a Home Assistant channel? If so, then I think I'm out because with regard to home automation I only care about Smartthings and Google Home.
Good question! No, it’s not just a Home Assistant channel. I’ll definitely cover Google and SmartThings in-depth, along with all of the other big platforms.
Reed, I am loving your channels....thank you so MUCH for doing this! I would love to interview you for our broadcast radio show / podcast called TechTalk Radio.

Great suggestion! Thanks!
Yeah I would really like that video. Please include where and what you need to get to use HA I think we might need a raspberry pi ??
Including the best brands for local-only integration.
Yes, I would like to see videos on HA set up from the beginning. Some times need someone to point the way to a safe way to start.
