Thanks for watching! If you want more technical details on how I set up these automations, read this article I wrote: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
Can you do a video on smart wall plugs? Which ones work best, which ones integrate best with Alexa/google, which ones have smart energy monitoring (I would love a smart wall plug that tells me current wattage and amps being pulled), etc.
liked the Ferris tribute at the end
The whole video was a Ferris tribute 😀
Yea, what about the one in the middle?
All the Ferris tributes just make me want to do a twist and shout.
LOVE the all the Ferris references!
I love how you provide the detailed instructions on how you created your automations in Home Assistant, it's very helpful for someone like me who is just getting started with HA. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Regarding the first one: Make it a notification that is randomly sent to either you or your wife or the Echo calling only one of your names. That's some next level Russian Roulette.
Wife: That's funny. I don't remember Reed being sick nine times...
My best doorbell automation (aqara button) is that if it's pressed in a specific secret sequence, it will unlock the door. That is used as a backup option if my phone is out of battery and no-one's home.
Awesome video and tribute to a great movie. Love your content. Thanks for all you do.
I've just discovered your channel. Well done! I've subbed, liked and will watch many more.
As a former Crestron, Elan and RTI programmer and systems designer I am staggered by how commonplace and affordable these things have become. Now easily replacing relatively complex routines and 'macros' and tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment just a couple of decades ago they have developed AI and sensors that are essentially free comparatively. It went from 'toys for the very wealthy' living in custom-built homes to intuitive, sensor-laden gadgets that have become everyday essentials and now suit every budget.
Yet another amazing video. Confirmation that you are indeed the GOAT. This will definitely help me step up my doorbell game. Thank you!
3:15 What TV is that and how can you send these notifications or even start the webcam?
Does it work on Samsung TV? I have a eufy doorbell but doesn't work for me :(
Loved all the Ferris Easter eggs. For the backyard blinking lights, how does your home know you're in the back yard?
You can have a "get the state of" rule so it looks for the backyard lights to be on and only then will it say to blink those lights.
Man you love using Home for your music. :) And I ABSOLUTELY love them!
Loved this one! Some automations I really didn't think of, but very useful. Thanks again!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked some of the ideas!
Super helpful. Especially the write up in the description.
Thanks, I’m glad the write up is helpful!
Loved all the Ferris Bueller references. Just got a new home and am a new sub. Absolutely LOVE your channel.
thanks for the great ideas!
This video reminded me. Save Ferris was my daughters favorite band.
Really enjoyed the automation ideas Reed, and I loved the Ferris cultural references!
I'm really going to have to look into these
Awesome ideas thank you
Loved the ferris bueller references!
Haha, i love the little cameos of yourself.
For the TV notification, is that assuming the use of a FireTV or something else?
Not so fast .. gonna need the lawn secrets too .. that thing is beautiful
Fantastic as usual. These are turning into art pieces.
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that!
Great suggestions! I use IFTTT in conjunction with my ring doorbell it calls my cell phone when a motion is detected. The doorbell once pressed opens my package box for deliveries to be placed, I then close it once I see the package has been delivered. Slow opening and closing to prevent liability issues.
Great vid, now i need a unifi doorbell.
Very good, very funny. Paul will be envious.
Smart Home Solver, you’re my hero
Haha loved all the ideas and the FBDO theme! I need to show this movie to my kids.
Haha thanks! Yeah it’s a classic!
Thanks for posting Reid
Great video!! Love your channel!!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Excellent video!
Are these automations specific for the video doorbell you use or can I have them happen when I get my ring doorbell
Great ideas thank you!
Glad you like them!
loved it great ideas save ferris
Ohh Ferris Buellers day off.. One of my favourite feel good movie
Very slick.
This is cool af my man!!!
Can you please help me setup the doorbell preview on my TV. I have a Samsung frame TV and a Ring doorbell Pro but don't even know where to start.
Awesome!
easier solution. Get everything google including the tv. Then you get all this.But also that doorbell is awesome. Great video!
Great job buddy, I have a Eufy doorbell which I bought after seeing your review. Keep em coming. 🙏
This is cool and I wish someone would set it up for me!
Great video
Hi
Is it possible to do a video about the routine on showing picture of delivery at from door (:56 sec) as well as 5 minute reminders (1:26 sec).
Thanks
Do I have to have the same doorbell or can I use my current doorbell which is a nest hello for all these automations?
The white bezel on the Frame looks really good. I should add one of those bezels but I was never sure which one to get.
Yeah the white looks really clean! I was considering the wood look one but the reviews had me concerned. I love the white though.
jesus, what a clean backyard :D
awesome vid, can you do a vid on good automations with smart life please.
That was clever. One of the best movies ever
Thanks! Save Ferris!
Can you do automation video with the Wyze doorbell? I love mine but man its hard to anything with it unfortunatley...
Any giveaways coming up? Tis the season! :)
I just skimmed through your linked article. It looks like you are able to achieve all the integrations with the Unify G4 doorbell. Is this true?
Great video and cool ideas! What is the name of the app shown on 2:00?
Lol. Thanks for the great ideas Reed. 👍🏻
Thanks for the support, Ron!
I have been trying to show the my unifi doorbell on my tv as the second box but cannot get it working with my home assistant. Do you have the steps to do this you can share?
Hi I'm from Brazil. I really liked the references from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Do you think it's a good idea for video, automations that Ferris would do if the movie happened today? It would have unlimited potential with Google, alexa and all smart devices haha
"Motion at the front door... time to panic!" lmao
Since I have a Nest Hello, I have a pir motion detector (zigbee) on my porch linked to Alexa Echo dot 3. When triggered , Alexa says " Ok Google, Stream front door cam on TV 4" (or whatever smart tv I choose in my home). I have 6 Google mini speakers & 3 Echo Dots. 1 of each in my Attic side by side. Since my Attic is used solely for storage purposes , no foreign sound interference between the 2 smart speakers, which make this set up seamless and work quite well... PS I also do the same with my Neat Smart Lock👍🏿😁
My man loves ferris and I like it
Haha! What I need is something that stops the dog from barking so I can even talk to a person at the door through my doorbell camera.
What are you using to run all the rules?
is it possible to connect unifi door bell to the google home assistant with a screen?
2:53 what TV you are using? Android TV?
Ive got the newest ring pro, but the quality is trash compared to the eufy. But, the motion dection of the ring is spot on. I cant decide.
Would it be possible to do this with nest doorbell and smartthings
It's not straightforward, but you could have the doorbell turn on a virtual switch that is reset by the door opening. A Smarthings Routine can detect if the virtual switch has been left on too long and notify you.
I'm new to the smart home space...i feel stupid asking ..how does everyone get their lights to blink?
What doorbell was used in this video? Or can it be any wifi doorbell?
Wow your TV looks well nice, what brand and model is it?
That’s the 2021 Samsung Frame TV with the white bezel attachments
As someone who delivers packages as my job I would never think to look at the door bell for a screen and then take the time to read that screen, just please leave an notes on the delivery
Do you show how you do these commands and what systems you use?
I used Home Assistant for several of the automations, and I wrote out everything in this article: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
Reed, how satisfied or not are you with the UniFi doorbell?
I really like it. My only complaint is being able to talk to someone at the front door with the doorbell doesn't work well at all. If you check out my latest doorbell comparison I show what that looks like. Besides that it's an amazing doorbell.
Damn, all this is set with home assistant :( any way of doing the TV pop up notification with nest, smartthings, Alexa or Google home?
Do you need a fire stick to do the picture in picture on the tv with the doorbell
Think so
My nest doorbell just died, I’m invested into google and HomeKit ecosystem. What do you recommend to replace it with? Another google doorbell or something else, thanks
Well you can use Starling home hub to connect a nest doorbell to HomeKit, but imo you’d be better off finding a HomeKit secure video doorbell that works with Google Assistant too.
What is the thing that your echo dot sits on?
It's an Echo Dot battery base, so I can unplug it and bring it around the house: amzn.to/2UEZePg
Yup,beware of porch pirates ... 🤐 How to make my TV (SmartThings) alert me like that? 😲
Great ideas but how are you doing all this? Is this strictly on home assistant and alexa?
Mostly Home Assistant. I wrote down everything here: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
How did you create those automations?
I wrote an article with all the details on how to set them up. smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
are there any doorbells with face recognition which can trigger alexa routines?
So what’s the best way to automate with the UniFi Doorbell?
Is it possible to have my ring doorbell show a notification on my samsung tv?
can you make a video to how to set these up? :)
I wrote it all in this article so it’s easy to skim: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
@@SmartHomeSolver Sorry didn't even see that. Thank you for the link :)
I am here for the funny stuff today
Do you do this for a living? If you do, where are you located?
I’ve wanted to add the tv notifications on my Apple TV 4K with the nest hello, is there anyway to get these two to talk together
no because it's Apple
@@techguy348 I thought that now with the new apple language with apple Amazon and Google some what coming together it would be possible with HomeKit
You can do that through Home Assistant but it can be a little complicated if you’re just starting out with it.
@@cozmic8004 I’m always ready for a challenge and I love to code so for me it won’t be a bother
@@Alessandro20090313 yea it’s a really fun experience! Personally, I had no prior knowledge in coding or diy work but now I find myself making my own sensors and automations and I’m loving it.
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
It would also be helpfull if you could Tell us how to set everything up
I explain it all in this article: smarthomesolver.com/reviews/8-doorbell-automation-ideas/
@@SmartHomeSolver thank you for your help 🙂
how do I get this done step by step ?
It’s right there in the description.
lmao "time to panic"
Hope once MATTER is released Google home could do these?
Is it possible to have a button that activates a nest mini instead of saying hey google?
Amazon Echoes (without a display) have a function button you can press instead of saying the keyword.
👍
“And you don’t have you phone on you…”
What is this wizardry you speak of?
dang, i've got the Nest Hello and it seems like there's no easy way to connect automations to it....
Yea it’s pretty limited in terms of functionality in automations. What I did is integrate it to Home Assistant and gained some control over it. Although it’s still missing the person detection feature in HA so that sucks..
Wowie
First?
But like how do you do all these ??
Pinned comment links to the article I wrote explaining how to set them all up.
How in the world do you get Alexa to say all the hilarious phrases?? 😂
You can have her say preprogrammed responses to any prompt
@@saxdogg69 I've never even thought to do that. I'm also primarily a Google speaker user, Ive always much preferred the Google AI over Amazon.
@@shanepark16 yeah I like to leave little surprises for my wife and tell her to ask Alexa about stuff she always says to me lol 😂
