My pleasure, glad to hear it helped you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I've got another #5minutefRYEday coming up next. Orphan Barrel Scarlet Shade! Thanks for watching!!

@@zgordon86 no idea, sorry. Never owned one of the chimes.

I chose chromecast because chromecast audio was discontinued...

You're only "tied to Google" in so much as you need to use the Google home app to configure them, after that they are locally addressable and don't rely on the cloud. This is no different than many other products, such as kasa switches. In the video, I demonstrate exactly what you describe. I have 1 chromecast that plays to all zones at once, and I also have individual chromecasts per zone for different music in different rooms. I'm glad you liked the video, though! Thanks for watching!

Not a bad idea, but I think it's a bit lengthy, no?

@@JosephDawson not all of them....

I tried setting up Z-Wave on my Aug-SL03 Pro and failed repeatedly. So... Not so much.

You'll probably be interested in my next video then - why is local control so important!

@@fasthowto in that case I can’t wait. I’m on the fence to buy two more eufy locks for my last two exterior doors. Without spoiling should I wait or should I buy and expect that I can use them down the road 😂😂.

@@Masrimadden flip a coin, I guess? I didn't even try hard and came up with half a dozen examples of products that have either lost functionality, or no longer function at all, because the manufacturers either abandoned them or made changes. If it were me, I'd buy something you can control locally.

Awesome! Let me know how it works out for you! Thanks for watching!

You are most welcome, thanks for watching!

My pleasure, I'm glad this worked for you!! Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

I think your caps lock key might be broken.

@@seanys you know what the entire world wants to see? That is extremely useful information. Do you offer that as a service, or do you just run around randomly dropping little nuggets of gold like a modern-day superhero?

@@justinbell5771 sweet, glad to hear it!! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I've had that take 2 minutes to complete, I've had it take 20. No idea why the variation.

I don't understand the question?

That's actually a pretty great idea for a device that will be out of sight. I may just adopt that, if you don't mind. :) Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the suggestion! That does have a nice ring to it, I'll add it to the list of possibilities. Thanks for watching! :)

@@fasthowto anytime 😊 like the size of your videos

​@@MartinHiggs84thank you! 😊

I showed the devices and discussed them in the video (August/Yale locks). As mentioned, my next video will be about adding them to HA. Thanks for watching!

I use a Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer to monitor the temperature of my chest freezer in the garage. I have automation set to alert me if the temperature exceeds a set threshold.

Yep, that's a GREAT use case for these little things! Be sure to report back once you get them and set them up, I'm always interested to hear real-world feedback. Thanks for watching!!

Things did not work for me as shown in your video. I plugged the Atom Lite to my PC via USB and was able to flash it and configure the wireless network successfully, however, it never showed up in the ESPHome dashboard. I was able to add the Atom Lite manually as an ESPHome integration by using it's IP address. Once added, it immediately connected to my Govee temperature sensor and have been rock solid since. I suspect this is because the way my Home Assistant and network is configured. Here is my setup in case you're interested: I run the Home Assistant OS as a VM in a Proxmox Virtual Environment. Proxmox is the host OS on a dedicated mini PC. I use TP-Link Omada gear and my network is segregated using VLANs for added security and ease of management. I have dedicated VLANs and wireless networks for my network devices (router, switches, access points), PCs, wireless clients and wireless IoT devices.

Sounds to me like things worked exactly as they were supposed to. If you are knowledgeable enough to configure a complicated network, you're probably knowledgeable enough to understand broadcast domains and mDNS and why you have to manually add devices... ;) Glad to hear you figured it out and that they are working for you though!!

Not sure.. I just grabbed one out of my cable pile, and it's not marked.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've added that to the potential list. :) Yeah, I've read the person detection can be finicky as well. I suspect it's much like everything else, where the devil is in the details (config). I've already found some configuration specifics that I needed to set for my August locks with just the regular BT that I covered in this video. I'll get into those in the next one. If and when I do the BLE presence detection, I'll do the same thing I always do - fight with it until I'm happy with it, and then make a video, or scrap the whole thing and never speak of it again. LOL

If that's what you wish for, you don't understand the purpose of home assistant. You're better off using Alexa or Google home.

The google devices integrate easily. My aqara stuff just pops up. The kasa and govee integration needs work. I have google home and alexa already.

Then use that.

@@fasthowto touchy ain't ya fella! Lol

​​​@@hepatitisjaynot at all. You're just complaining about irrelevant nonsense. Instead of complaining, go watch a video that's relevant to you, and enjoy it.

All the ones mentioned in this video do. I can't speak for any of the new ones since I haven't bought any in a couple years.

No, the solution in the video works, you've messed something else up. The virtual cable isn't stereo or mono, it just "is". Since you've not really given much information to go on, I'm going to assume that listening to most things plays back in stereo, so you have a problem with your source - which is outside the scope of this video (not to mention I'm certainly no expert with this thing). Best of luck, hope you are able to get it sorted!

@@fasthowto Just few hours after my post, i got it working! Thank you so much for the video! It has been really helpful!!! <3 I changed to mono in OBS and now it works on both sides!

@@TuanTran-kn3cc Sweet, glad to hear it!!! Enjoy! :)

@@fasthowto you have no idea, i have this apollo for like 3 years laying around because i couldn't really make it work properly out of the box! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

OMG I would have lost my mind. For what these things cost, there's NO WAY I'd leave it sit around for 3 years. LOL

Glad you like the video; thanks for watching!!

Thanks! I have no issues with them on my network, no, but - I use ubiquiti network gear, and have 6 APs, so there's plenty of wireless to go around. I'm planning to make a video about my network soon. Thanks for watching!

@@fasthowto Ah! Great. I’m in the process of building a Unifi system. Will definitely look for that video.

@@ZZFilm check out some of the other ubiquiti videos I've already done, like automating your firewall rules and automating changing your guest wifi password - including adding a QR code to the dashboard for guests to easily hop on your network.

@@fasthowto Thanks 🙏

Has nothing to do with streaming

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Since I have no idea what tutorial you followed, AND I somewhat famously hate apple devices, I'm afraid I have nothing to offer you in terms of help. Hopefully you're able to get it sorted!

@@fasthowto Yes thank goodness after almost 2 weeks of trying I was finally able to get things back up and running on a VMWare virtual machine container on my MacBook, It was super weird when I tried to restore from a backup it just sat at the restoring spinning status window and ran for over 10 hours without completing so I canceled the restore from backup and reattempted with the next oldest backup and it worked in less than 30 min. I was able to get everything back working as it was before I started messing with the remote server access configuration. I have since just nixed my efforts on the remote access and I'm sticking with Nabu Casa for now. Anyone can seriously mess up/destroy there HA by just trying to add a couple of nicety things to HA. And then boom its crashed and won't load you can't access it at all, and then struggle to get it back up and running as before.

I did make a video about how to configure DuckDNS and LetsEncrypt, and it does work. If this is still something you're trying to get sorted, maybe give it a watch? Definitely do keep in mind, though, that this has nothing to do with macs or UTM, since I run HA bare-metal on a NUC (although the video does also work for HAOS VMs as well as RPis as well - not sure about containers).

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

hey, did you figure this out? I’m having the same problem

@@MsOmgnowai2 I did not figure it out using the virtual machine but when I loaded it onto a cheap elite desk mini PC it did work. Still learning how to use it but I was able to connect

lol i just had the ssame question, got the VM installed home assistant opens in the VM but when i enter the IP nothing comes up in my browser

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you found the video useful, and thanks for watching!

Hopefully you watched more of my videos. I switched the software I was using for screen recording, and I've also been using an app that puts a yellow circle around the mouse cursor to make it easier to follow. Let me know what you think! :) Thanks for watching!

As I said in the video, I have no apple devices so I don't know. According to the docs it should work though?

What was?

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Hey, that's not half bad!! Lol

DEFINITELY far easier to understand, I agree. Choose does have it's applications, but 99% of the time the exact same thing can be accomplished through creative use of If..Then. :) Thanks for watching!

I have no idea what an A50+ is.
