Good stuff. Need to upgrade all my switches in the new house.
Looks good bro. 🤝🏾
Thank you 🤝
Good stuff. I'd like to learn more about your home assistant routines. Just not sure how to start with it at my home.
Thank you for watching. Not sure if you’ve seen this video but I’ve found it to be a helpful overview of how I set everything up. But I haven’t gone in depth on all of my HA routines.

I'd use presence detectors rather than motion sensors. Love the use of the vibration sensor on the tap - really novel thought there.
I should put my everything presence in the kitchen! This is a good reminder. And thank you!
@@FutureSmartHome you might want to take a look at my blog. I've done a fair bit, including automating my coffee machine. Started when I lived in San Jose and have restarted living in the UK. practicalhomekit.blogspot.com
I’ll give it a look, thanks for sharing!
Can you go into detail on those NFC tags? I’m buying a house and that peaked my interest. Also the vibration sensor on the sink hose is genius!
Just pinned a comment with a whole video on the NFC tags & my maintenance setup.
@@FutureSmartHome you and your channel are great, so insightful even if your solutions don’t work great for my scenarios
Thank you for the kind words! I hope I can keep it up!
I wish the dishwasher didn’t have delay start so I could automate it!😂
You *might* be able to pick up on the current that changes when you turn it on. Not sure. Would be worth putting a power meter on it and seeing. If you can detect it you could lower the threshold
I love your Dishwasher notification. I don't see any of the sensor readings for my Aqara Plug in the device info in Home Assistant. It is integrated through my Aqara M2 hub using matter. How do I see those sensors?
Thank you! Hmmm, I have mine integrated through ZHA not the Aqara hub. I’m wondering if that is not configuring them correctly for home assistant. Might need to do some googling on that. It should show up the same way mine did.
@@FutureSmartHome So I finally acted on the comment you made about integrating the Aqara Outlet through ZHA by adding a Zigbee dongle to my setup (still a 6 month HA newbie). Re-intgrated the outlet through ZHA and am now creating the automations. Because my lifestyle is different than yours (we are empty nesters) and we don't run the dishwasher as often, my automations will need to be more geared toward when the dishwasher finishes: "did you run the dishwasher? Is it clean or dirty?" 😄THANK YOU again for this inspiring video!
@johnhubbard3879 awesome John! So glad to hear it!
On what hardware do you run Home Assistant?
Old Mac mini I had. Full tour here if you’re interested! The Brains of My Smart Home (with Costs!)

Why do you need the dishwasher on switch? Why can't you just directly trigger the automation when the power consumption is above 50 W for 30 seconds?
Not sure I totally understand the question. But maybe this clears it up: The dishwasher is on the smart switch to measure the power consumption, it isn’t a “smart” dishwasher so the switch’s power consumption is how I know I ran the dishwasher. Is that what you were asking about?
@@FutureSmartHome no. The Smart plug sensing a power consumption of above 50W turns on the dishwasher on switch. Then the switch being on for 30 seconds triggers the automation. Why can't you just directly set it so that the power consumption of the smart plug being above 50W for 30 seconds triggers the automation?
@@Techlifeandmore ah, I see what you mean. Yes you could totally simplify to just report on the threshold sensor being on for > 30 seconds and not need to flip an additional Boolean. I like just being able to query that Boolean in other automations.
From my own experience, you should add water leak sensors under the sink and dishwasher. Other places for them are the laundry room and bathrooms.
Totally fair point, I actually have a whole home water leak sensor but should’ve mentioned that!
@@FutureSmartHome I had the drain line from the washing machine clog so when the washing machine emptied it went on the floor of the laundry room. A whole home leak sensor would not notice this problem. I also had the hose break on the washing machine which your whole home leak sensor would have caught.
@vegaswayne247 great points! Will have to put one up there.
Great update! Are you interested in trying out our newest pool water monitor?
Please let me know your email if you're interested!
Glad you liked it! I don’t have a pool but thanks for the offer!
