My hopes of turning my dining room table into one giant "light switch" didn't work out when I learned that the Aqara vibration sensor isn't as sensitive as it would need to be for that idea to work.
...sigh...
Oh well, I'm sure I'll find another idea for that vibration sensor eventually.
Also, why is Alexa going crazy today?!

Automated Home Show - My smart home is back on track
play

10/07/24 • 25 min

Last update was a total disaster, but I've fixed most things and in many cases, things are better than before.
There are still a few issues, but it seems much more manageable than a couple of weeks ago.
I got an Aqara motion sensor, set up an Annke camera for baby monitoring, setup the Sonos voice assistant that I didn't even know existed and just had my first Govee product delivered.

play

09/23/24 • 15 min

I just created a 2.4GHz wifi network in my home and chaos ensued.
What I thought was a piece of cake ended up becoming a disaster and now I guess I'm looking down the barrel of a bunch of factory resets and re-adding devices.
Seriously, this was not what I had planned for my Sunday.

Automated Home Show - Homey should add this functionality
play

10/12/24 • 17 min

Thanks to Tim for the comment on my last Youtube video which helped me to get my Aqara lights connected and online in Homey. That was a big help.
I was able to get some Homey "flows" going with the motion sensor and those Aqara lights, but there are a couple of things that I'm not thrilled about.
1. The range of the P1 motion sensor isn't great, and
2. Why won't Homey let flows re-start before they're finished? That makes no sense to me
