This is only the beginning to get you in the right direction! Let me know what you want to learn more details about below. One thing I forgot to say is that many of these smart products are referred to as IOT (internet of things) devices. There are thousands of products you can choose from so make sure they will connect the way you want before you buy them!
What about a smart home for grandparents
The only reason i've been hesitant about going smart is not understanding all the intricate details and how they link. Thank you so much for this explanation, you rock!
thanks, that really helped. What I want to know more about are sensors like if you have a short entrance/hallway to automatically turn lights on or to automatically turn the lights on/off in the bathroom (bonus if it can not turn itself on in daylight).
I can look and get specifications on the internet but if you already know the available products and/or real life usage experience, setting up etc that would be helpful.
Tech With Brett thank for sharing
@mrtvicovekThanks, there is however a change of plans since I've been fired and moving to a different apartment this year. So I'll be waiting to purchase smart stuff for about a year.
hopefully by that time prices will come down a bit since I'll be ordering them internationally anyway...
changing the speed to 1.5 helped watch this video :)
Thankyou, it’s taken me 2 days to watch this video. I Get to Half way and I fall asleep... twice now.
Thanks hahaha
Lika a absolute SAVAGE!
I watched with 2x
A genuinely awesome video that absolutely nails both displaying the huge range of smart home options but distilling them down to be understandable for new adopters, having something like this at the start of my smart home journey would have saved me hours of research & more than a little money!
Hi and Greetings from the UK, I have just started with this technology, and being a 73 year old retired electrician, with mobility problems, I found your video both instructive and informative, I can do most installation work the physical part but I have to get my son and grandson to do the programming part. Many thanks for sharing it, I use the Amazon devices where ever around the house, it does make my life easier.
Kindest regards
Thank You -- So very helpful for an old guy who never knew where to get started. I intend to control a smart plug with my cell phone while away from home. Going with Hue for now.
thank you - very few people can explain things without being massively in favour of one type over another. It is very helpful to understand what is out there
Best video for begginers! I was looking for an explanation like this for days. Thanks! A hug from Brazil!
Very very informative!!!
This was one of the most informative videos I’ve seen on setting up smart home devices. I really like the step by step and knowing why I need it.
Huge respect for breaking this down the way you did without siding like you're belittling people. 👍🏿
Thanks for the video. Finally a video that actually explains setting up a smart home!
Moved out of my parents house 2 weeks ago. Got a chrome cast from someone who got a 4K one and I got a nest mini on black Friday. Now watching this. Wallet is crying.
This was awesome Brett! Thank you-very helpful. Your videos convinced me to go the Google Assistant + Nest route and I’ve been pondering how to keep growing my smart home. I think lights are up next for me-planning a video per category?
Great video! Should mention if you have ring alarm or ADT, they can work with your smart home! Only moved into a smart home 2 months ago and in love with the concept. Feels very modern
Regarding smart switches along with smart lights, naming conventions can be very helpful. That is naming them similarly simplifies the commands This makes it so whenever I request the bedroom lights both the switch and the lights are turned on with one command.
any resource you can share that shows how to achieve this?
Thanks for the video! Tons of useful information! I'm just getting started to change mine into a smart home little by little and this explains a lot , thank you .
Great Brett!! Thanks for your job and for sharing it with us. A hug from Spain.
thank you so much for this. it helped me a lot as I'm about to start building my smart home.
Thanks Brett
Just starting my Smart Home...very informative!
I have over 50 smart home products in my house and this video still interested me, and there are still things that I learned. You presented this perfectly for people who are new to smart homes.
Looks like you beat my collection! I am still learning things every day so I'm glad this could help.
Good job/video. Thanks. Your explanations were clear
Hi Brett, just been watching your video. One of the things I am interested in with Smart Home is segregation of networks i.e. separate device and computer networks for example. How do you think your model would integrate in this case?
Cheers
Will
Not all hero's wear capes!!
You helped me so much, thanks for the vid
I would have never thought it was this simple! Wow great and simple explanation on this subject! I can now easily hook up 100s of devices because of this video. Thank you sir!
It's not that simple especially when it stops working.
The best video about SH ever! Thx so much
You are welcome!
Well done. I think you covered everything. I didn't even know there were Cortana compatible devices out there.
Thank you so much I've learned a lot I will be implementing some of these idea into my dream house I'm building
Awesome job. Thank you for putting this together
This is the best introduction to smart home I have ever seen 👍
Great overview without diving into the weeds...added to my saved list for future reference. Thanks!
Great summary for beginners, been searching for a while! Thanks a lot.
Excellent. So much info out there but this one was exactly the basic info that I needed to get started. Thanks
Brett does the Samsung appliances fridge with LCD screen work with smart hubs?
Awesome explication. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your clear explanation of the relationship of these devices. Great video!
Best video I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the content!
Great video that really simplified smart home products! I just subscribed to your TH-cam Channel!
Appreciate such a complicated situation very easy
Good information to know while in the building process. Thank you.
Great video Man, Thanks so much.
Hey brett, your video was very helpful.
So i have a samsung Galaxy and i want to create my home into a smart home and have it be compatible with my phone.. what device do you recommend me looking into?
You explain very well. Thank you for all the info.
Thank you so much on this video, it really helps and gave me an idea how to start my smart home.
Dude! I subscribed so fast. I'm just beginning to build my smart home with philips hue, google home hub and nest doorbell/thermostat. I'll definitely be coming back to your channel to understand samsung smarthings to control it all as well as chromecast to make it easier to cut the cord👌🏽
This was the best smart home vid I've seen so far. Subscribed.
Very easy to follow. Thanks.
Great research! Thank you
Thanks for this heart
Wow! I didn't expect it to be that easy 😁 definetly something everyone needs today
Very helpful video,Thanks Brett!
Awesome video. Very instructive. Thank you!
This was so useful thank you, subscribed
Great vid!!!! Is the sengled propritary or is it zigbee? Thanks
Just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the overview as I am building a new house and trying to decide platform to choose. One area of major concern is how to set up firewall to keep home network safe. A video on that would be very helpful. If you've done one already please provide the link.
Thank you Brett, you are Lord of Schmart Homes!
By far the clearest and most complete explanation on this subject!
Have fun, especially when the power goes out and you have to set it all up all over again.
love this thank you brotha!
Nice video, learnt a few things today.. if I go with the smart switch option, do these need to be connected to the hub or straight to the Wifi or both?
Hello! Brett!
Can you tell me more about lighting controllers?
Regards!
Thank you. Very thorough.
very informative. however I would had loved to see real world examples how you really connect and setup the various things to for example to Smartthings, google home, Allexa etc.
Wow! Thanks for such detailed information! Made smart homing more sense to me!
Thansk for this amazing video, Im just starting and this helps a lot, can you please advise of another hub that works outside the US? The samsung things is not supported in Panama Cit :(
Finally the video I've been looking for
Great and detail explained. Thanks
very clear man. Good job!
Thank you this helps me a ton. I'm starting a business and this is very valuable knowledge.
Thank you for this information. I am quite invested in Insteon with a hub. I have a large area that is covered. It seams that Insteon is becoming left behind with technology. You think Insteon is a good backbone, with a more advanced controllers?
Thank you
Amazing video full of useful information. Helped a lot. Thank you.
Great video really helped explain the pieces. We got zWave dimmers, but do not have a hub. Looks like we really put the cart before the horse. Excellent speed and descriptions. Thanks.
i love your videos i watch them all day to learn about it
Thank you!
Really great video thanks mate
Excellent video - Personally I plan to get a couple Google Nest Mini devices to create music and make phone calls - do I need additional hardware to make them work or is Google Home app on my iPhone sufficient?
great content! this is always confusing all these options we have available to make our homes smart. now, can you suggest or may be you already have a video on how to control all these devices from one device, like tablet (dashboard)? Thank you!
Quick question about when you explained the light switch, and how if the switch is off you cannot control the light with voice control. My question is that if the light is cut off by voice and the switch is on does that still drain the electric energy or does it not?!?!
Cheers Brett..your a legend !
Takes one to know one!
Great video! Very helpful.
After my smart home reached over 40 zwave & zigbee devices, i had to move my smartthings hub to the middle floor to stop devices from dropping off the network.
I think device connections had to make too many "hops" from device to device, from the basement to the top floor.
Something to keep in mind....
Inteon home automation devices work way better than z-wave and zigbee because each device is a repeater
@@Arouni The trouble with Insteon, which is good as far as reliability, is it is proprietary. You have to buy Insteon branded devices. Smart Things and the like will use devices from mulitple brands and manufacturers.
Z-Wave and Zigbee have been 99.9% reliable for me so far, but I don't use Smart Things. I have built my own solution around Open Z-Wave and Python based Zigbee stacks.
With anything wireless, it depends on the situation. Location, interference and the like. Insteon has the advantage of using both wireless and power line technology, which in some situations will make it more reliable.
Does all this stuff save on Electricity? Or is it constant power?
Wow great explanation and video, Thanks! I am just getting started and did not know which way to go. I do have one question. I have a smart TV a Vizio do I need an adapter to connect it to either Google or Echo?
Do you know which model it is? The newer ones should have Chromecast Built In so you can Cast certain things from your Google Home. For the Echo you would need to pick up a Fire TV.
You had me at Modem
56k all the way!
Ironically that is what you don't need. You could built a smart home without the internet
Less application's. Yes please. Unf they don't always seem available.
I have a wyze cube linked to the Google. Wish it and the other devices could direct connect.
Any recommendation for a fan/light controller?
Very good video Thank you very
Much
i am renovating my bathrooms and want to build a smart home, with steam shower, toto's toilet, heating floor and lighting. Thank you for the lesson. I can't wait to explore the products. There are so many of them and it can be confusing. Thanks.
Excellent video, thanks for putting this together. The biggest question is, hub or no hub (direct to wifi). I have 2 GH minis, 2 GH’s, 1 Chromecast, and 1 Chromecast audio. I also have a couple of wifi smart sockets with lighting being the next logical step. Before starting with the lighting, really need to know, should I chose a hub or not?
Brett Great Video. I have a few dumb questions. I have two homes (Beach, and Primary Home,125 miles away). I have an Alexa at both places and the Alexa dot at the beach home is linked into my primary home. It does allow me to drop into other amazon devices at my primary home. I also just purchased a samsung smart things 3rd gen for my primary home. Would i be able to voice control my alexa to smart devices at the beach home or visa versa?
Lovely channel.....a quick question though, in my quest to learn more about home automation, I read a book that talked about X10 modules , is this method of home automation outdated.....can u briefly touch the subject
Hey Brett 2 ?'s for you perhaps you can advise me about? I have a Vizio tv 2013(1080P), with a Denon AVR 2014. The Denon does not have ARC and CEC but bought a part that automatically turns it into ARC and CEC so have it plugged into the ARC of Vizio. My issue is that I only have the Denon hooked to Vizio tv and have Chromecast(1080P), DVD, and Roku all HDMI'd to Denon. I also have Google Home mini. Voice control working pretty well, but some of it not so much. I switch inputs through Denon for the Chromecast which is in a media player HDMI port, DVD in the DVD port, and Roku in the gaming port(this is a 4K port and Roku is also but since tv is not doesn't matter), but wondering if since I want the voice control to work for not only the Chromecast but also Roku if instead of switching inputs I keep it on the Chromecast input at all times for proper voice control of Roku also any thoughts??? Also, should it switch to proper input by itself once I tell it to for ex. ask it to go to Roku which is in the gaming port?
i wish you'd make a video of brand specific equip
Great introduction video. I like how you made it for dummies like me.
You know you have difficulties when you bought "Automation for Dummies" when you should have bought "Automation for Complete Idiots". 😅
Thank you this was very helpful
5 star rating for this video mate! Keep it up :)
Good job sir 👍🏼 I have installed smart lights. But now I fully understand how it all works. Thank you
Great video. Thanks.
I have an echo show 8 in lounge, 5 in bedroom and a dot in kitchen so far. May move them around or add some . I have smart things app on my phone for the TV and have a baby cam connected to it via its app. Do I need to get a zigbee box as I'm thinking of getting bulbs throughout the house and maybe some other things too eventually?
Thank u, i have trying with the smart lamp first
Hey Brett
Thanks for the informative Vids you provide,
Just want to know your thoughts on 'Shelly 1' as I think it is a cheaper way of controlling a group of lights (eg: LED downlights, etc) and as far as I can tell they are easy to install too. Got 4 on order now :)
Is there any smart device for intrusion alarm system? I don't what that arm disarm key remote.
Good video Brett , yes , all the ai products can make your head spin a bit wondering what goes with what , thanks for clearing that up mate !
All the best and i hope Santa brings you a good prezzy ;) .
I hope so!
Does the show 2 let you control other devices than just lights? Im looking to buy Amazon Alexa product and want to control more than just my lights. I do have internet with both 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. Was wondering what you would recommend to start out with.
Good Video! Lots of Information! I'm trying to build a smart home in the Philippines for both my personal home and rental properties. I would like your recommendations for bests products, hubs,apps..ie with the best compatibility across the board...thanks in advance!
