skip 4:46 to the part where he says "lets jump into it"

3:00 "reduce your environmental footprint". Thanks for the video. May I add a quick thought here by saying that using a cloud-based AI isn't really going to reduce your environmental footprint. Your bill yes maybe, but the environmental footprint, I am not so sure.

so do you need to have a server running home assistant on 24/7?

Hi great video explained a lot - I have been using Home kit for years and am very happy with running it in conjunction with Aqara Eve and Meross products. I purchased Home assistant only to allow additional devices into my home and for better automations However I want to keep running Apple Home as my main Controller so am unsure how to go about only using it in this way Any advice appreciated

Great video and everything you tell us is true, but there is a pitfall in your logic. What happens if you have an accident and are for a long time in hospital, or worth if you die ? Your wife will be lost if HA breaks and stops working. For Apple HomeKit, it's easy to find help but HA is another beast.

If I have already moved my Home assistant devices into Homekit and need to add another plug/Socket do I need to follow this same process?

Thank you! Very helpful!

you didn't explain how to get home assistant. do I buy a green?

If I want to build a Home Assistant and Homebridge on the same computer, what computer do you recommend? A Mac mini with VMs, but on the CPU and memory side? Or a PC with Windows 10?

Been wanting to add HA, but I’m not super techy. Maybe 2025 I can figure it out, plan on switching internet providers anyway. Hopefully it’s not too difficult to add the devices I already have in HK.

Too bad. Tempest is not usable on 52' (Netherlands) also not for sale in Europe

Its funny that i just set up a similar notification thing in HA and run into the same little annoying things like the weird output variable name.. Great video man, I just subscribed. keep it up!

Guys. I have a Homey Pro. I thought it would be awesome to use something that "talks" with everything. It felt more free. Now... i dont know anymore. Maybe HomeKit and HomeAssistant is better and more easy to use?

Hmm i tried that first Homeassistant and Homekit together, too bad most of the devices that are "converted" does not work in Apple Home, Also tried the other site devices from Home to home assistant, then i got a QR code which does nothing. For now i use Homebridge (with Sonoff zigbee stick/antenna) that works but for power plugs only on / off, no power reporting. I have also Thinka, Zwave bridge, and then some zwave power plugs will report kwh.

On HomeKit, it says people is off how do I turn it on? Unifi AI Pro cameras.

how to add wyze v3 to homebridge ?

Hello. Can you tell us how you interact with the Hoogle Home device? Could I use it as a proxy for voice input/output to simplychat with ChatGPT, with HA as the backend server? T

No luck setting this up. I have HA running in virtual box , have opened up the relevant ports on my firewall, but my iPhone won’t connect to the bridge.

LOVE this Automation. Thank you for this wonderful Idea. I have copied your work and have benefitted greatly. Spousal acceptance factor of this automation is expected eventually. :)

OpenAI weather update automations should really become a script since it has no triggers

Nice Videos, love to see more in the future. Just one question . On which device are u running Home Assistant? Thx

Do you need any extra hardware for this to work with Home Assistant Green?

It's an awesome video, thank you for that. It seems, the cost highly depends on the language. I called the API a few times using Hungarian language. Although the requests were pretty simple, huge amount of context tokens was used. Calling API 2 times using Hungarian language costs 0.01 USD. I'll send a few Hungarian books for OpenAI to learn my mother tongue a bit better.😂

i have a door sensor on my man cave door to turn on the "set the stage" scene. my man cave is a wizard themed pub so i use lots of lights (flame effects, colours, fairy lights etc) and even talking pumpkins. i also have a practical scene where all the lights are turned right up to 100% and bright white so i can do crafts or see to play my guitar better. talking of my guitar, another door sensor on the guitar hook and headstock turns my amp on and off depending on if my guitar is on the wall or not. this allows me to use it like an acoustic guitar but still be electric. then another aqara button on the door allows me to press the exit button to turn off the man cave lights and the moving portrait. checking the time of day allows me to turn on the outside light for long enough to lock up and turn on the kitchen light afterwards too so i can see my way back into the house.

Awesome and really exciting opportunities for integrating into my home. Love it.

You really really need to stop using devices in your automations as that’s going to give you a world of pain when a device fails and you need to replace it. Start using entities and state. Reason is every device has a id and if you use device it will use that devices id in your automations and if you use lots of automatons with that device and fails and you replace it with even the same device it will have a new id and will brake all your automations and you will have to spend hours fixing them. By using entities and state you are using names of the devices so when you build your automations using the names and a device brakes and you replace it all you do is rename it the same name and all your automations that use that device will still work. Be careful I nearly fell into that trap and will be a nightmare for you.

Great video mate 👍🏻 Subscribed. I need some help please… I’ve just bought some native HomeKit home automation products that are a mix of WiFi and Thread for their wireless connections and some of the Thread products are also Matter certified. I haven’t got a Home Assistant bridge setup or anything yet but keen to at a later date if it means I can then purchase cheaper home automation products and integrate them into a HomeKit setup through Home Assistant for a family setup with all Apple devices. Can I begin to setup the products I’ve bought and create HomeKit scenes and then migrate these over at a later date once I include a HA bridge? What issues may I face with the mix of WiFi and Thread devices and also how does Matter affect things or not when it all mixes with HA? I do have an Apple TV 4K which I assume will allow my Thread devices to get connected. Have not tried anything as of yet.

Great video with one question which I think I know the answer (which I won't be happy about). If HomeKit has been up and running before setting Home Assistant, do I have to remove everything from my existing Home?

You're sending all your home assistant JSON to chatgpt though. Who knows who might be getting ahold of that one day.. What's even better is self hosting ollama. People have trained local lightweight AI models just for homeassistant.

For the dashboard, you can use a Conditional panel so it only displays items that require maintenance and not anything that’s already been maintained recently.

What is the depth of your sofa table?

Can you share the how you done the Lux automation please

How can you delete the devices again?

Great video. Thank you. Any idea where the Lutron Caseta Wireless Scene Keypads can be found? The house switch color is almond. They don't seem to be on the Lutron Castea website, Amazon or eBay. Any thoughts on the Leviton 4 button scene controller if the Lutron is not available?

You sir have got yourself a new subscriber

How much water does AI require to process your prompt per month? It's estimated to be 500mL per 5-50 prompts. Datacenters use a lot for cooling.

$0/month sounds better to me.

"Chat open the door" "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"

"You should add devices to home assistant, not Homekit" - I have just installed Home Assistant for the first time. I currently use Homekit. Does this mean that I should be removing my entire home from Homekit, then add them to Home Assistant, and then expose them to Homekit? Will the thread network still work if its done this way?

Great work i am very inspired by your video is it possible that the agent_id after a update of HA is not a number now but Plain text ?

Great video which totally inspired me to build something like this myself. . Thank you so much!! . I experienced that the templating part didn't work so well for me though.. For instance It kept saying it couldn't retrieve weather forecasts from the exposed entities. But when i switched to chatgpt-4o it made everything 10 times easier! The assistant didnt even need any templating nor did i give it information where to look things up. It instantly searched for weather entitties in my HA setup and told me the forecasts for the next couple of days.

be nice if you added links

this is so much difficoult for me to make it work! i only have a Lumi sensor outside but even changing the sensors you use in the video this is still not working! is it possible to send a message with chatgpt output?

Recently migrated my Home Assistant devices to a Zemismart hub and then linked these into HomeKit as the hub is HomeKit certified. Benefit was being able to shut down the computer hosting HA and avoid all the regular maintenance updates which need to managed. I used HomeKit Bridge and it worked fine but now have all services in the home running under HomeKit. Have Philips Hue as well as Aqara and all other devices are under Zemismart and connection to the hub is managed in Tuya.

120 gallons a day? What do you do with all of that water?

Great video , thanks. If you could share any code snippets would be also nice

You know. All these small expenses add up. That is $0.12 a year! You could buy a year worths of API calls for that!

as long as you dont use chatgpt to also let you control home assistant its quite cheap right... but if you have A LOT of entities then it will get expensive fast.. you really have to limit the amount of entities given to chatgpt, the "tokens" are what is expensive. its 5USD for 1 mio token... just by testing with 34 api requests i got 180.000 tokens.. which comes to 1Usd :)

Awesome work, keep it up!

I would try moving your home hubs to the very top of the rack for increased signal strength.
