Does this setup require a zigbee dongle (like one from Sonoff) if you have a mini PC?

Their pricing schedule is just ridiculous. €6,50 would already be more than $6,50. Why should I pay €7,50 which equates to about $8, just for living in Europe. As long as they don't fix this dishonest pricing. No thank you.

Hi, I have Alexa, but I prefer Assist as a voice assistant, it's my native language. Do you know how I can access Assist using Alexa's microphone?

I think you just made my mind up. After spending an hour researching domains and their costs, then researching port forwarding (which I don't seem to be able to do with my router and service provider), I've come to the realisation that Home Assistant Cloud would be best for my low level of ability and also support the service that's given me so much control over my EV, heating and so much else. Thanks for the information.

Good video, I think the unknown factor is whether the big three are obliged to share information to certain agencies etc.. if said agencies have issue with certain peoples political views or beliefs they could be a target. The old argument if you have nothing to hide there is nothing to worry about.. the worrying question is who decides what should be said or thought.

I don't like my phone being on my home Wi-Fi, because I live in a rural area that's limited to 3-5mbps, so even at home I keep my phone on 4G or 5G So this remote access solution could help even while I'm at home???

thanks for this vidio i have issue when add devices on alexa app it apears as light even if it is cover or media player

Hi Im Mallix from SuperBOX, an US android tv box brand into this business for >5yrs. We've just rolled out new product namely S6 ultra. It would be great if you can do a honest review video for the device to your audience, may I know how to contact and send offer to you? Thank you

I'll pay for it simply to support the fie folks that support HA.

9:20 you say m3 hub will let you connect non aqara devices, but doesn't the M2 also do that? I'm confused it say Zigbee on the box.. so what's the difference? I'm thinking of buying the home assistant but I don't own a computer is that required? I was looking at the GREEN version

Just made my wife very happy, Hates Smart home but having it on Alexa helps a lot..

So, do you put the actual brightness percentage in place of "payload" or somewhere else?

beautiful nails mate 😆 jk, great video really useful!

Where is the google dribve backup link you were going to include in the description ?

Thanks for this! Since a Home Assistant device is going to be online basically all the time, won't it continually request extensions to its IP lease? So, even with dymanic addressing won't it keep the same IP as long as the device isn't disconnected for 8 days and another device joins to take the IP?

i bought an ir blaster for a dollar on aliexpress lmfao cuz starter sale or some shit

Thank you very much, I installed z2mqtt devices in the easiest way Is there another way?

Thanks a lot! Finally the honest perspective of somebody who can take the perspective of an amateur who wants a life rather than a home assistant.

Well said.

How do you setup de App to auto switch to cloud? Cant find it anywhere :(

What if "Call Service" is not coming up? When I look for call service I only get "action". Thanks

Thanks, I will definitely use this information later on

IMO home assistant cloud is worth it for most people. It's substantially easier to set up and manage, as many others have said supports the HA developers, and is relatively affordable. The only situation I say otherwise is if the monthly fee is too high or if you just want the experience of setting up a self-managed solution. Not to mention if you don't know what you're doing you could really expose your network.

hi can one use the same setup to send a message to alexa example, send "hello world" to a single dot or to all dots. ??

Aqara Hub M3 support Matter. Does that mean that all devices that also support Matter can connect and be used with the hub?

Great Video I do have a question as I have not yet implemented either this method or the Node Red option you have a video on. So I have disconnected all my Hue Lights from the Hub bridge and have paired them directly into Alexa via Zigbee. If I use the emulated hue that you have shown here, will it duplicate all my hue bulbs (potentially different names but the same device)?

3:37 *sigh* regarding the pronunciation of "router" . I've noticed my younger colleagues also use the American pronunciation of "router" too.

Thank you! I've been looking for this to control by zigbee/z-wave devices.

Hi Brilliant description. I have been using this for a while now, with no issues. However I added 3 entities, Fan High Fan Medium and Fan Low. These 3 entities are not being broadcast by HA and as such are not detected by Alexa. I have looked for the config/.storage/emulated_hue.ids file with Terminal and it does not exist. Any help would be gratefully received. See Config below: # Emulated Hue. emulated_hue: type: alexa host_ip: 192.168.11.71 listen_port: 80 expose_by_default: false entities: switch.garden: name: "garden" hidden: false switch.kitchenlight_switch: name: "kitchen lights" hidden: false input_boolean.fan_medium: name: "Fan Medium" hidden: false input_boolean.fan_high: name: "Fan High" hidden: false input_boolean.alexabool: name: "trigger" hidden: false input_boolean.fan_low: name: "Fan Low" hidden: false input_boolean.lighten: name: "lighten" hidden: false input_boolean.kitchen_pause: name: "kitchen pause" hidden: false input_boolean.boost_heating: name: "Boost Heating" hidden: false input_boolean.boost_hot_water: name: "Boost Water" hidden: false

it is not bidirectional to see the status of the air conditioner and take advantage of automations

Hey, it's not working on my zigbee devices.

How does this work if you have ditched your philips hue hub?

can you use home assistant as a zigbee hub with an added zigbee dongle ?

I read through the documentation but i can not get locks to work. Any help or advice?

Well done, can you please give us more options for universal smart hubs that can support Zigbee and thread? Thanks

Nice video. What universal smart hubs do you recommend to install nowadays, something that supports Zigbee and thread?

THANKS!! Watched others but this is by far the easiest setup to follow and got my systems linked! Subscribed.

paying for nabu casa too. supports home assistant and basically works flawless. Especially useful if e.g you want to integrate multiple hue bridges and get them controlled with google assistant.

as a noob, i found file editor is really useful tip

I got it working. Alexa has discovered the ZigBee devices I have. However, it can only turn on the lights. When I tell it to turn off, it says "the light is not responding and to check the power supply". Has anyone else had this happen?

Homey is out of the line expensive. There is new one ISG by linknlink. Has Home assistant and their own operating for simple management. Has a display tablet. Can use home assistant when ready or not.

Yolink is another freq. LoRa Only one that works at distance. Inexpensive . And have lots of different devices. Freezer alarms, contact sensor, outdoor motion for driveway, exterior plugs, inside plugs.

Wow! This was so informative! I'm thinking I'll get a aqara m3

But can we show the state of ac on home assistant if i push on for example ?

What if I don't have the remote for my device?😅

Wow! I battled with 2 other videos and could not get Alexa to discover the devices. Yours worked first time. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial but I encountered an issue. Alexa found the devices I exposed, but when I wanted to turn on/off, it just says server unresponsive.

So I want the opposite I think. I have a device in Alexa that I want to expose in HomeKit. Will this work?

Great tutorial, the scripting menu has changed a bit since this was created, but the concept is the same

Excellent explanation, major kudo's for putting the copy/pastes in the description. Thanks!
