Man, this stuff is so freaking awesome! I watch several automation youtubers and you, by far, have the most out-of-the-box ideas. Blows my mind. 🤯
I’m hyped you enjoyed!
Michael, you're a man after my own heart! For me, one of the most rewarding aspects of developing automations is figuring out the logic involved to bring them to fruition. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for expanding my knowledge of what's possible! 🤯
I appreciate the compliment! It’s great knowing that y’all enjoy the content and appreciate the new ideas!
This is legit resident evil level computer control type stuff. I love it!
Glad you like it 😁😁
Next level stuff. Hopefully, you can use the fun automations to entertain your daughter when she gets a little older or distract her when you are recording!! Could also use your repeat visits to a location - pantry or fridge,, to issue some fun or snarky comment. Although that could go seriously wrong on the WAF. Super glad Aqara recognized your talent and provided some products. Hope others do the same.
Yooooo that would be funny to set it up around the fridge 😂 but you’re right. That could go horribly wrong 😓
Very nice! I love the out of the box thinking!!
I’m glad you like the ideas! They’re a bit kitschy but I wanted to provide different use cases for the device😁
No risk, no reward. Nice work.
5:28 "It's the journey that I enjoy." That's TOTALLY me as well!!!
This is the first video I've ever seen from you, and you've already earned my subscription.
Edit: I also enjoy traveling "the road less traveled on". I like to pick apart everything, figure out each and every detail, every possibility. It's what intrigues me. If there is a problem, there's a solution. If there's a will, there's a way. It may not always be possible, but it never hurts to try. And as Anakin would say, "this is where the FUN begins!"
My sentiment exactly! There are plenty of people showing the traditional way of using these devices but it’s fun to go out of pocket and push it beyond even if it ends up being a complete flop. My philosophy is that that ideas are contagious. Give it to one person and watch it evolve and spread into something more potent than when it fist started 😁
These are fantastic! Love it.
I ended up returning my FP2 because it had to be plugged in and the range of each one is so short that I couldn’t figure out how to split my open space living room into zones without needing 12 of these…
There was another viewer here that bought several and managed to track his entire house. it sounded like his house had a pretty big footprint too. My house isn’t that big but I only got two to track the two places I cared about. Everywhere else I used PIR sensors
I don't have an FP2 yet but I do love the way you are thinking. Also HUGE bonus points in my book for referencing the Perry the Platipus game (we also loved it when it was Kim Possible). These sorts of automation are one of the reasons I got into Home Assitant and IOT.
I appreciate the compliments! I stoked I get the opportunity to bring some ideas to the table for everyone to share enjoy 😬
Ive been watching smart home videos for years. Glad to find your channel
Happy to have you! I hope to bring some unique perspective that long time enthusiasts like yourself can enjoy.
I like your level of thinking on home automation. You have some great ideas that others do not. I've been doing my own home automation for 30 years now, starting on my Amiga computer. I've switched over to home assistant, and am starting to make a lot more progress lately.
30 years! I should be learning from you! Im glad I can introduce some fresh ideas to the space and keep it interesting for experienced automators like yourself 😁
@@technithusiastA lot of my original system is hardwired, big thick cables with 15 or 20 pairs going all over in the attic and walls. I have smoke detectors, alarm stuff, door and window switches all going to that. The old system there communicated with a serial line to my Amiga computer. That old serial system got hit by lightening a long time ago. My new stuff stuff is hooked into Home Assistant. I'm just ready to replace the old wired system with an ESPHome board that I'll wire the older stuff back in finally. I've got all kinds of modes, sleep/awake, dark/light, home/not home, all triggers off/on, etc. I saw a couple of your other videos, and of all the people doing home automation, you seem to have some of the closest ideas to mine. I'll have to watch your other videos, as new ideas are worth a lot. I'm also working on a mailbox notification. Yeah, the easiest solution would have been to put some wires in a buried PVC pipe. But it seemed a lot more fun to come up with my own PCB with an ESP32, a LoRa board, and a solar panel to charge the battery up.
The wired solution sound intense but interesting. It would be cool to see a before and after comparison of where automations use to be and how they evolved. The mailbox idea sounds awesome too! At some point I'll probably get into creating PCBs and designing my own custom IOT devices
First video I’ve see , subbed! High quality well done mate!
I really appreciate it, thanks! Lots more like it :)
You've added reasons for me to look at setting up localAI. I wasn't sure I would use voice enough, but now I'm intrigued.
Glad i could pique your interest 😁 If you're interested, In a few days im releasing a video that will show you how to use a Node-Red plugin to easily connect to GPT. This can help your automations connect an LLM to you. However if you want a solution that can accommodate localAI watching this video from @FutureProofHomes th-cam.com/video/pAKqKTkx5X4/w-d-xo.html
One of the different TH-camr in a decade since I started watching tech videos !! No blaming others. But you got different path as you mentioned in tech videos which I am looking for. Great job and please continue create videos. Subbed.. thank you !
I’m stoked you’re enjoying my content and I appreciate the sub!
Incredible automations 👏🏻
😁
LD2410C for distances/arc-based zones. Could prob combine 2 in a room where you wanted X/Y locations.
Oohh that got mathy 👨🏫 Sounds like a clever implementation. Have you tried doing that?
Awesome video. Definitely subscribing

I have to appreciate also post production skills… nice video. And content of course! Subscribed!
I appreciate the compliment and Happy to have you aboard!
Glad I found your content!
And glad you like it 😁
Data Mining my habits (locally only) is exactly what I want!!!😊
In addition, I have been wanting a mm wave device to test and fiddle with a machine learning idea. Of using mm wave to perhaps detect vital signs - breathing patterns and heart rate. I'm not sure if much would come of it (with way too little data) but it sounds like fun to me
I think data mining habits will be an interesting concept to explore. There may be some ethical walls but i think its worth exploring :)
I’m very impressed.
You were mentioning about plugging in your phone to detect that you are going to bed. You could use a Sonoff S31 plug which measures power usage. When you plug in your phone (at the bedside), the power usage will go up from zero.
I appreciate it🙌🏾 the ideas was an improvement of an automation idea I talked about in this video: Dominate webhooks automations with these 7 awesome ideas
th-cam.com/video/5y2ONZGfVX0/w-d-xo.html
If you have Home Assistant on your phone it can detect if your phone is charging.
@@travisschneider3011 thanks. That’s good information.
Thank you!! Love your videos! You should build/make your own GPT-4 voice assistant device with ElevenLabs realistic voices & raspberry pi
Glad you enjoyed! Im waiting for voice features to be more user friendly for Home asssistant. I would love to get to the point where I can create a custom AI that speaks and can control my smart home.
I am interested in that type of discussion
After I stopped watching TH-cam videos and actually thought how I could use these sensors I came up with some real life uses. i actually have two similar uses: I use one of the fp2s to know if we’ve gone to bed and turn off everything and lock all the doors. I also have a security one: I have a zone where we keep our keys. So if we get our keys, there’s no other presence sensed in the house, the garage door opens & closes then the garage door opens and closes….the away mode is triggered in 10 min and also triggers the “Show notification action” to let everyone know the security system will be armed.
Nice 👌🏾
How many of the sensors do you have around the house to know that there’s no other presence? For example if you have a walk-in closet or someone in the bathroom?
@@technithusiast Downstairs is pretty open concept so two cover the communal areas downstairs. I have 1 in each of the used bedrooms (2), 1 covering the upstairs landing and hallway and 1 in the Master bathroom for a total of 6. So, the two in the bedrooms aren’t set for sleep detection they’re set for zone detection and placed on the walls. I set a zone on the beds with the automation triggered at 1am. This way I can still use them to set zones in the bedrooms. ex: The master bedroom covers the bedroom, half of the walk-in closet and the bedroom door. I know that I have blind areas but I have pretty good coverage. There’s also the issue of suppose someone is in the backyard I wouldn’t know and I can’t check if the sliding glass door is locked, just that it’s closed. My solution for if the sensors miss someone was to add the notification trigger.
Wow you’re fully covered! Do you encounter a lot of ”ghosting” or need to recalibrate the sensors often?
@@technithusiast At first I did get a lot of ghosting but I took a lot of time testing the sensitivity settings for each area as well as slight angle adjustments, now they’re all on either Medium or Low. I do still get some ghosting but I don’t find that it really causes issues with HomeKit or any of the automations. As for recalibration: After getting them dialed in I’ve only had to recalibrate one sensor once. For whatever reason it seemed to think that it was hanging from the ceiling (it wasn’t, it’s on the wall) so it thought that the detection mode and placement didn’t match.
I don’t know if you’ve done this or not, but I’ve wanted this feature ever since ChatGPT came out. I don’t have the skill set though. I want full voice control of my house using real English language and use ChatGPT to interpret the language and select the function. Similar to what you did in the video but by voice, I also want it to have a voice reply to things using a randomly generated txt from ChatGPT to convey what was done. Example : a friend comes in my house and says “Jarvis, turn the lights on.” That gets converted to txt, sent to ChatGPT, ChatGPT can see that the voice came from the living room and there’s a person in the living room, and sends the command to home assistant to turn the living room light on. Then reply’s over the speaker “I turned the living room light on for you”. Or “Ok.” Or “will do.” If it does know have it clarify what they are asking for and then do that function. Also since there’s a light monitor it’d be cool to have the light monitor confirm whether the light actually turned on and if it didn’t to notify me that it didn’t work but will try again and then proceed to keep trying until it turns on.
So this is what I’m trying to work up to but the physical hardware tech isn’t mainstream enough to pull this off in an easy manner which is why I started with the AI Chatbot. The Bot does EVERYTHING you just describe except we have to type it out.
Im watching closely home assistant’s year of voice improvements to see if they develop a simpler way of talking to the system but I don’t like the way they’re doing it. My ideal scenario is to use Alexa, Google or apple’s devices as an omnipresent mic to connect with home assistant but they all don’t allow it. But I have some other ideas I want to explore that I think people would like but I need the funds to test it out 💰💰
I like the game automation (using zones) idea. And don't worry... premature... triggers, can happen to anyone.
Glad you enjoy 😁
Brilliant review and automation ideas. Thx. One information is missing, unless I am wrong, how does it behave with pets ?
I appreciate the compliment! I don’t have pets so can’t validate but I hear from others that animals like cats and dogs do not trigger it. but again, this is what I heard 🤷🏾♂️
You’re like doja cat, you don’t miss.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
So you manage to add it to HA, nice. How.? Can you make a video how to add it to HA I manage to add once then deleted but now I m not able to add the senzor . 😢. Tnx
I created this short that talked about how I added aqara products (including the FP2) to home assistant:
th-cam.com/users/shortsf_sWheIps0s?feature=share
This is my first time viewing your videos. I do have a couple of questions for you. I noticed your demos of automations and it looks like you are usinf=g flows and not the HaomeAssistan automations. I found that Haomey Pro uses flows, so are you using Homey Pro? Also ,do you have videos for using HomeAssistant? Thanks in advance.
Hi thanks for reaching out! The automations I create are Home Assistant but I use a tool call Node Red which gives a high degree of power and flexibility that can't be achieved in the Yaml based automation home assistant provides. Node-Red is its own application but it is also a Home Assistant Add-on (that's how i got started with it).
As a software dev, I feel more at home with Node-Red so make all my automations there exclusively. I do have a website ( www.technithusiast.com/chaperone ) where i provide the code (JSON) that NodeRed can use to import automations (similar to blueprints)
Looks like there could be fun game ideas with this. I'm wondering if the zones are flexible enough to support the floor is lava. Could I have it so if my children ended up on the floor, home assistant could announce they had landed in the lava with appropriate lighting effects.
Oh that sounds like a fun concept! Unfortunately I don’t think it would track the height of someone off the floor.
Great video, please consider making timecodes
Noted!
Mate, I discover your channel just some days ago and it's awesome. I already followed how integrate GPT with Telegram. I stil have some issue, that some command not trigger or give me some strange errors. I have some an idea. Will be possible made it more smart? For example give the exact name of the home (for example in your case KE) and over telegram say: HI KE. And he reply with a question or asking what he can do it for you and start conversation.
Hi and thanks for watching! Im definitely working towards that kind of integration. I created a simple prototype of this feature using iPhone shortcuts
th-cam.com/video/5y2ONZGfVX0/w-d-xo.html but im hoping to creat something more seamless and agnostic
I like your thinking. However at £80/$100 the FP2 is just too expensive for the functionality it provides.
Yeah It is on the pricey side. That’s why if anyone consider getting FP2 I would encourage putting in a place where you can create many different automations and squeeze the most out of it to get your moneys worth. It would be a shame to just use it to turn and off lights in a single area when it can do so much more 😁
How did you get the Aqara sensor into Node-Red? I have Node-Red running as a container on my proxmox server
You have to get the aqara sensor into home assistant first. If your node red server is separate from home assistant (ie your not using the node ted add-on in home assistant) then you need to download the home Assitant package in node red and configure the nodes to talk to your home assistant server
Is one device (fp2) sufficient for a 70-square-meter apartment, or do you need a separate device for each room?
I can't say for certain since i don't know the layout and if you items that cause interference (like fans). However, with those technicalities aside, this sensor can reach about 8 meters. So if your apartment is a 7m by 10m open-concept box then it should cover the majority of your space.
Automation idea: creating Jarvis-like interactions as seen in the movie Ironman.
I’m Slowly getting there 😁
1st idea first objection right away. Using FP2 for a couple of months now, I can say that an area getting "unoccupied" has a rather significant delay. It sometimes takes about a minute for an area setup in FP2 to turn unoccupied. Setting an area for bed and an area for outside the bed in the room and then setting a condition for bed to be vacated to trigger.... My son would leave the room 5 times. Not realistic. (and yes I calibrated using Aqara AI several times).
Mileage seems to vary for individuals. I have something like this setup in the master bedroom and it’a working well. Perhaps the device is defect or interference?
put an asic in your job. guard it with a door sensor and an fp2. write a conditional trigger to toggle power. off when door is opened. fp2 will confirm presence and keep resetting a sleep timer until no presence detected for 120seconds and door is closed - asic toggles back on.
watch bosses face when opening next electric statement.
😂laughs in nMwave🤣
dont judge me
😬
Do you have any blueprints for these?
Sorry, I don’t. This was a thought experiment, so I got it working just to prove it’s possible but I didn’t keep them.
How did you integrate GPT?
Check out my ai master class playlist. Here’s one of the videos n the playlist:

I wish I could get aqara to connect to my home assistant
You can :) as long as your home assistant server has a zigbee radio installed (like sky connect or conbee stick) it can act as the zigbee hub and most of the aqara product can connect directly to it 😬
@@technithusiast I cannot get the hub to be found. The Homekit controller auto discovers it. However, it will not pair.
Im positive you can do it ! i have the aqara hub installed via homekit in HA. you have to pair it to your phone first then delete it from your phone. HA should then automatically pick it up
@@technithusiast would you be interested in helping me? I have the ability to do screen share.
i think the ghosts issue may have been resolved with latest frimware update
I can’t say for 100% sure but I do get the ghosting maybe once a month or maybe less?
i just updated mine yesturday and it says it fixed "gosting" @@technithusiast
A lot of people are leaving bad reviews of FP2. Did you have any issues?
Yes initially. I found that when i tried tracking small sections ( like a couch or bed) then automations would be more inconsistent. However tracking larger sections, I find it works waaay better and prefer it over motion sensors
What’s going to happen with my dogs?
Your doggos will be fine 😬. Many people report that small animals to not trip around he sensors. But I assume mileage may vary
Amazing tech but I wouldn’t let this device access the internet except to get firmware updates.
How come?
@@technithusiastbecause like companies who want to sell you something and provide you relevant ads… government too loves to know every detail about your personal life. It would be too easy for companies who fish for data to extract and sell it to government agencies.
This is a device I’d more than likely add onto the IoT VLAN with some open ports to communicate with other devices on the network and definitely configure my network’s firewall to secure the traffic in and out of this device.
Advanced spouse espionage: How to find out if your wife is cheating on you.
Lolol a few people point that out
These ideas would be great if the Aqara FP2 actually works and is accurate. Most of the time, it doesn't work and it's not accurate.
thanks for the comment. I admit you cant get too specific when defining an area cuz its accuracy wasnt meant for these types of use cases but these automations do work
Still too many bugs on FP2
Yeah it definitely does have bugs. overtime these tech will get better and less buggy.
Relying on automation to care and protect an infant should be outlawed.
😮 that’s a strong opinion! Perhaps we should also investigate other automated safety devices like airbags, smoke detectors and alarms 😜
