I have SimpliSafe paid subscription service for alarm and door sensor. It is also on my HA dashboard, can Akron works with SimpliSafe sensors?
Is there an easy way to have the mp3 play on multiple Alexa targets? My script kept getting a syntax error when trying to set-up a target: entity_id - alexa1 - alexa2 script
THANK YOU! Been searching for this for months
Yes, could you please have a tutorial to build this unit into my X1C I would like complete tutorial to install this unit for the extended. I am just getting into 3-D printing and I need to have a white. I’m older and I really need the light so I can see.
Do you first need to connect your Reolink cameras to the Reolink app? or can we add them directly to Home Assistant?

Ola amigo otimo video, eu ja tinha um NSpanel com ESPHome e acabei de comprar mais um, acontece que na hora de configurar o blueprint esse novo NSpanel não aparece, ele esta online e tudo mais, mas não aparece na para confiura. A unica coisa de diferente que notei é que na tela do painel aparece o simbolo do HA em vermelho.
This is great, now all i need is a way go generatea realisic jarvis.and a very 200s female computer voice
Hacs is basically the best thing since HA
Unfortunately does not seem to be working on Bookworm, with a pi zero 2w and generic pi cam
Configurationnnnn
why could we not use wled and a standard esp?
Helpful video so thank you for that! I have to ask: is there no letter “g” in your language?
I would love to see more videos about useful upgrades for the X1!
is this up to date?
Hi Mark if you add it to local tuya do you still be able to control it from the app when is not at home ? Do you have any video upgrading sonoff devices with tuya app (firmware)... My ideia was to get some of my tuya devices and extract firmware and than flash in the sonoff devices) I just not found easy way to doing it and also maybe some devices firmware not go to be compatible I pressume? would be possible put tuya app on the Smart Scene Wall Switch Sonoff NSPanel ? thank you
How do you make sure the chain rotates properly? I tried all of the adapters and all of them end up in a tangled mess
First
Thanks. Great reference info.
Great guide. Additionally I've had to uncheck "Pre-Enroll Keys" during VM creation.
Holy fuck your uptalk is chronic my boy. Really raising the pitch of all your sentences at the end there uncontrollably.
would be nice if they sold gears
Hi, bit late to the party lol, followed every step but on step 4 I am getting "/etc/xdg/openbox/autostart no such file or directory" What am I doing wrong?
as ruter
can i use with ewelink app after flashing
got 3 cameras reolink connected by POE into my reolink nvr. I cant get to connect them to my home assistant, any help please
Thanks for a good movie that I have followed 100% But when I click on the HACS icon on the left side, I still see the 4 round icons where I, among other things, can choose add-on, I just get the HACS icon - Repository Name. It's like it won't start. HACS version 1.34 and HA 2024.6.2
Thanks for the review Mark! You mentioned that you need an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 Hub, and I think you showed the Aqara Smart Home Zentrale M2, which is around 60 euros in Amazon. I've found another option, the Aqara Hub E1, which costs around 30 euros. Would the latter be enough for the purpose of controlling several Aqara Roller Drivers with Alexa?
Where can i buy this
love that smile, i bet that Tuya doesn't... :D
Looks great - thanks for the video.... how did you print on the plastic cards? I've got a laser printer, but that's not going to do it! I guess I could print on paper and stick it on!!!! ;-)
Thanks! I've got this working fine when I switch the echo to English. Once I revert it back to my mother tongue Dutch, nothing is said by Alexa / echo. I guess the TTS isn't ready for other languages, maybe switching to a different TTS service might help?
can you turn the volume of the speaker up and down as normal? I have a M5Stack ECO and the speaker is so small its useless.
how did you configure the alarm? Is this an actual device? I want to setup my sonos speakers as the siren. I am new to HA so I am struggling. Great video!
Do you need MQTT for Room Assistant or is there another way to connect them?
I'm 3 videos in and still don't know how Room Assistant works. Is it only Bluetooth? The website said some other detection was possible. My kids don't carry phones around, but I still want lights to activate. How does a Raspberry Pi see you without Bluetooth? These are the questions that weren't answered watching this video series.
Hi, I’m thinking of getting Aqara wired light switches, but I’m confused on the wiring as on some videos the mention decoupled etc. my current normal switch turns on hall and landing light but I’m going for a 2 switch and 2 ikea bulbs so one switch turns hall and the other the landing. Any ideas on how I would wire the switches
5:09 how do i setup the double and long press actions, only single shows up in automation
Same problem, did you fix it somehow?
@@alexgirbescu3123 no, all i can find is that its only the wireless switches that can do it, which is odd because h1 can be converted to wirelss switch mode
I've just added more sensors and went to grab the keys. The extraction tool only gave me a 5 character key for one device. The 6th character of that key was a comma so I think the extractor tool omits everything after the comma. Not a show stopper as I found the key manually in the xml. Just a note in case anyone else has this issue and is puzzled why one key is shorter than the rest.
I'm curious is it possible to replace with an rpi based board, with an m.2 socket and a Google coral tpu?
Hi Mark, are you going to redo this install video given the changes in the Tuya site now make working through this befuddling?
Hey I don't comment too often on videos but this saved my tail! I can't confirm for the rest of you guys reading the comments of this does work on 800 Zwave usb stick zeus (ZST39 LR) Keep up the good work with these videos it's helping us newbies learn home assistant!
Its not working. :( I installed Alexa Media Player, setting up 2SV, which was successfull, i see that the App is enrolled in amazon. After this step the app is opening locally to login to amazon (like in your video about 3:55), typed in the keys succssfully (login and pass is ok) but when i hit Sign-in, after a few seconds it throws me an "500 Internal Server Error". Tried in Edge, Chrome, Opera, same results. Possible that the app does not work anymore with Amazon?
It's a shame they choose to not populate the u.fl connector for the external zigbee antenna in the final version. I can't immagine it would've costed more than a couple of cents to keep it. At least they kept the pads so it's easy to add one. The small antenna on the module, oriented flat to the ground like the device and without a PCB cutout around it can't do miracles.
Still waiting for mine.. 8 months and counting..
yes, would like local hub and control and hooking up to outdoor sirens
I never used Home Assistant and I don't want to buy a Hub, can you use the product without a physical hub?
Amazon Review says it's now Matter compatible. Maybe you already have a Matter hub?
Nope I don't :/ can I install Home Assistant on a virtual machine and use it to configure the Smart Blind?
I have a rpi5 and followed every step, tried twice but keeps failing. It keep saying something about failing to connect to X server
Would be nice to have a video on how you can control the ir features of a hub mini to control devices.
Great job Thank you I dont have the list off sensors, how can solve?
