Advanced Smart Home Dashboards Made EASY

echo hub?

There is no "sideload" in Android. All app sources no matter if it is an app repo or APK file on USB stick or downloaded via browser are equal.

Great Stuff man! I hope to start up my home automation soon. Thanks!

why can't HA just give me a download button to click

Can something like hubitat connect my singled and lumary lights or do those stay connected through alexa and hubitat connects to alexa?

Aloha! Great and awesome video. Very knowledgeable to what I want to do for my home light situation. Love the dashboard on the tablet but I’m wondering if you can give me advice to HOW to make my current normal home light switch to digital like on the tablet??? You showed only a tablet plugged into a outlet. How would I convert my light switch to digital like how it controlled on the tablet. Thank you in advance.

thanks for sharing

Hello! What’s the table lamp you have behind you? (With the Phillips Hue (I guess) lamp)

Make sure you turn on Guided Access if you are using a iPad

I recently started doing my research on smart homes. And your videos are really interesting and engaging. Can't stop watching.

I don't know if you can help with this. I live in an apartment and I want to make it smart without removing or modifying any original things that comes with the apartment. E.g. switch, blind, and lights. I've been doing research on sensors to make my switch smart. But I'm kinda in the loop. I use Alexa echo 4th gen.. I'll appreciate if you can give me a solution. Thanks

What dashboard app you are using

Which cameras does the amazon fire tablet builtin dashboard support? I want to know if the Blink xt2 is supported because it is not supported on the amazon alexa app dashboard for live viewing but the ring camera is.

Best budget tablet to use?

What setup do you recommend for Airbnb rentals where you don't want anyone poking around the settings? I use Samsung smarthings and z-wave devices for sensors, etc. Also want to be able to have the video feed from my Dash to automatically display on the screen when someone rings the bell. Other functions to control lights, a Sonos player to play pre-defined music/playlists from Spotify, turn on z-wave devices around the home, etc. Thanks!

So is home assistant an app you download or a website? How do you begin for a first timer. After buying all my smart bulbs lights and everything, what do I need to get home assistant

What’s your opinion on power over Ethernet for lighting

I've started watching more and more of your videos now that I'm a homeowner. Great content!

Hello. Can you suggest any other ways to host the home assistant, because my budget is not enough to buy raspberry pi but i have ton of old pcs i could use, how could i install home assistant on one or what other device/service i could use

What's the use of this video? NONE?

can you make old tablet or phone to automatically start video from motion detection if camera and display is integrated with google home. chinise ptz hq camera shiwojia offer 32x zoom with 8mp or 10mp really good hq zoom auto tracking auto cruise. and will be great if I could use old tablet or old phone to directly display without buy expensive google hub or alexa eco show.

no no my ipad 😂

Could it work on Raspberry pi zero and touchscreen?

Great video. Yours is one of my fav channels. Also I like how you recommended Shane’s channel as well as my other favorite channel.

Has anyone used VR for eye therapy, and if so, what device and program is best?

I went to a private eye therapy place and they had a large touchscreen and I had to look at the center dot while the white background would hv other dots appear, I’d hv to tap them b4 they went away( like whack a mole) and it was great for my peripheral vision development!

I’m going to look at the price of a large touch screen and the price of V. R. Goggles along with how much each fame costs, to compare prices, but I think I need a script from an eye dr?
After watching this, I’m highly considering a large touchscreen. Ty!

I can't wait to see what you do with that tablet huge tablet. I think it's going to be an amazing home screen.

no homo but your voice is relaxing

Ok

Hey, I have been watching you for a while and just subbed because I want to see what you do with your new home.

My home is 88 years old and has come a long way since I bought it. I plan to sell it as a smart home when I finish rehabbing it soon. Before this happens I want to add at least one dashboard.


I can relate to the excitement you had when you got a function to show up on your dashboard and your wife was like "oh, how exciting". I recently added a smart switch on my furnace power so I can turn it off while I wash my filters without having to go in the basement. I love that I get notifications on my watch if the furnace has no power or heat tape on my water meter has not come on when the outside temperature dips below 33 degrees. The water meter is in an unheated space and to move it will cost hundreds of dollars so as of now it is automatically controlled and I don't have to worry if it will freeze and cost me more money to fix it. If I am curious about it when the outside temperature dips to 33 degrees, I just ask Alexa what the heat tape temperature is. Otherwise I get a push notification that the heat tape has come on right on my watch.

People who are on the outside do not understand that it is not just convenience, but necessity to be able to control so much that not only makes it easy on you to have smart devices. It saves your time and money to have the most efficient home. When I first got my home it cost $800 per month in energy during winter & now I spend 20% of similar homes in my area on energy. The value has increased by five times what I paid for it & have invested in to it. The fact that it is full on smart, will help sell it too ( I hope).

Hmm i was searching for an easy setup dashboard for Home Assistant, I thought sharptools and Action Tiles were but too bad they are for smartthings.

Question please, what is the best Dashboard to work with Home assistant?

Hi i have an android tablet, what will be the best app for managing my setup? (i have all my lights and switches connected to alexa with NO voice)

Can I use an Alexa ready Insignia TV as a dashboard with inhome visual intercom function?

Is smartthings working with Nest products??

Hi, is it possible to connect the Sonoff switches with the Philips Hue bridge??

Awesome!!

WallPanel app isn't working anymore for some reason; and is there an apple version of it?

Great ideas 👌🏽 will implement in my ecos

wallpanel or fully kiosk which one is better?

blah blah

How to download i cant find the App download link

I have an iPad (OR an old Kindle!) I'd LOVE to use for a home dashboard! I have a couple Google mini's in the house. The Echobee thermostat, which has Alexa. I have a couple Wyze cameras. I have some WEMO plugs, with lights plugged in. I have some Philips Hue smart bulbs/lights. Samsung smart TV. XBOX...THAT'S where everything stops for me. I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO GET EVERYTHING WORKING TOGETHER!! 🤣😂🤪😜 Just stumbled across your video. So I plan on watching a LOT more!
