Happy Saturday everyone! Theo is 23 days old today, and we are 23 days happier… and more knackered. Massive thanks to everyone that helped me make this video. Please check out their channels at the links in the description and subscribe to them! 😁
Congratulations to the new dad (and Nisha)! Don't worry, makeup is a great way of concealing the massive bags under your eyes that you'll acquire over the next few months 😂 I liked them so much I grew then twice 👀😏 And now one of them is obsessed with Mr Socky!
Congratulations Brother! My daughter almost 15. It's a long arduous, stressful, rewarding, amazing and beautiful journey. And worth everything you put into it. Enjoy my man.
I only have one piece of advice: Cherish every moment. Before you know it, they'll be *leaving* university. Childhood is always measured by a series of steps - first crawl, word, steps, day at school etc. Ignore the 'goals' - just live in & cherish every moment.
Awesome!! Kids + home automation is the best. My favorite automation is a routine to mess with my children when they try to sneak back out after bedtime to watch movies or jump back onto tech. If a motion sensor detects a creeper in the living room, after bedtime, it cranks the lights to 100%, makes an announcement saying goto bed, turns all the lights in the house off (spooky), and then powers down the various tech in the room repeatedly in short intervals for the next hour. TV, fire stick, soundbar, network switch/wifi AP, XBox, etc all power off at different intervals (5-15 minutes). Disrupting what they are doing in the most annoying way possible. Kids are tech comfortable, but they certainly are not tech savy. They could easily just pull the TP-Link power strips out and plug everything in directly, but none of my 3 (5, 7, 16) have figured it out yet. The oldest eventually gave up and just started reading books instead.
What a lovely idea for a video. Great co-contributors with genuinely useful ideas for a happy techie family. I’ve gone all warm and fuzzy and am off to get more LED strips. 🥰
If I didn’t know I was a geek already, this video has just confirmed it. I subscribe to and watch regularly every single one of these creators….. and my life is better (although poorer) for it….. from a self accepted geek.
Finally made some time to sit down and watch this. This was a *great* video boys, well done. Kudos for rallying around Paul for his paternity as well, that's awesome. Side note, I thoroughly enjoyed this collab! I would definitely enjoy watching more of these.
I really enjoyed this video. Collaborating with the others and sharing their ideas, it shows you are all in this together. Awesome video and great ideas. Well done!
The first routine I ever created was for night feeds. It would turn the lamp on where my partner fed our son and start playing a playlist of stuff that he enjoyed listening to. Barely worth being called a routine, it's still the only home automation thing that my partner has ever appreciated.
Congratulations Paul! Wishing you all the best! Love how the community comes together to support another and I already follow all of them so it is no surprise. Highly recommend checking out each to help give you new thoughts and ideals for your smart home
I'll tell you my favorite home automation even though it's kind of dumb I took an Aquara leak detector and put it on the back of a smart coffee maker after extending the leak detectors ground points into the water chamber. This allows my morning routine to only turn on the coffee maker if I've loaded it with water and coffee the night before. So if the coffee maker water detector says it's wet it goes on but if it doesn't then it doesn't go on for the morning. Small things like this that makes me happy that I do smart home stuff.
That was soooooo awesome, some great tips in there. I've been following most of those other channels too in my "rabbit hole" HA journey thats all of 6 weeks old lol Yay.....more channels to check out 🎉
I was thinking, once again, this morning that I need to think of a way to house a door sensor for our gate, to stop the kids leaving it open for the dog to run free if he wants to 🤦🏻♂️ Any idea what boxes Shane has used for his?? 5:03 Also, congrats on not having a normal adult life for the foreseeable, both of you!! You will love it 🙄🤣 seriously, it is a special club to be in 😊
Congratulations to you and Neesha on baby boy Theo!!! Love the support from the home tech community. Dad’s helping Dads. ❤ I’ve got some new adds to my watch list now as well. P.S. Home Tech Dads help Paul with links to your Channels the poor bugger is Knackered!!!
You know, at the end of the 4 weeks, you can do a video showing you and Nisha's sleeplessness, would be SO entertaining! Congratulations Paul on fatherhood, so glad you had a mini-me!
I use my home assistant to count the duration of the teeth brushing with a RGB light in the bath room that change color every 30s and turn green at the 4th minute for "Kids" Thank you for the video
Three things: First off, MASSIVE congrats on the kid. Can't wait to see him added to the "bearded husband and wife" bit. Second: Any idea where Shane got the water proof cases for the Aqara sensors? I am wanting to put a temp sensor outside but am currently trying to figure out the best way to weatherproof it. Lastly: How the HUE (using them as a swear) is Louis just going to nonchalantly drop "using scales under the bed" and not provide more info. He KNOWS that the one thing the smart home industry is missing is bed sensors! Lol
Ms. Rachel is a great teacher for the kids. i put her to my baby girl since she was a few month old when I found her and she learner to communicate with us early. she learn to speak early and she reads and comprehend what she read since shes 3 . look her up and examine if she is good for your kid. you can also use her like "white noise" like I did when she was a baby. congrats and enjoy fatherhood
Where did you buy that white desk from? I would love something like that, if you can supply an affiliate link and I will purchase one straight away. I have been looking for stuff like that for ages, but never any luck, and I am now in love with your desk.
Love this video and creators working together in general. If you do another one I’d be happy to contribute from my modest little channel. I’ve got some particularly great kid related automations coming you might appreciate 😉
I need to get an automated cat feeder to put next to my bed. I will fill it with M&M’s and set it to trigger every evening from 7pm to 11pm every 15 minutes. Then when the tv is turned off automagically (wow that was in the iPhones dictionary) I know I might as well go to sleep because no more M&M’s for me. I wonder if there is a cat feeder with 2 bins. One for my evening meds. 🧐
Paul, one other thing I have to ask. Does everyone in the UK pronounce router as rooter? As opposed to R-Out-er here in the US? You don’t say ooter for the word outer, so why rooter?
Paul, I have four of those night lights at time 5:39, but what is that light at 5:40? I love the way it looks and I want it. Shane, please chime in as well. Thank you. Love this video.
I could be wrong but it looks like an old aqara plug in Zigbee hub. They had one that you could plug straight into a socket and it had a light ring and a siren
Good video but you forgot a critical step in the home assistant rabbit hole chain. Somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd rabbit hole you climb into a new rabbit hole that doesn't match anything you have had in your rabbit hole and then realize that the documentation for that rabbit hole is for a rabbit hole that was updated 2 years ago and moved to a completely different rabbit hole that you need to go find on your own or be shouted at by people on that home assistant forums because you got lost.
Du er super sej Fille 💪 Jeg forstår udemærket, at man kan blive ramt af følelser, når man opdager at ens ansigt pludselig er indsunket omkring læberne 😷 og undskyld…. men det er godt nok svært ikke at trække på smilebåndet, når man hører måden du taler på 🤭
Robot nannies, we need robot nannies! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just press the flick button and baby would be fed and nappy changed? In all seriousness though you’re going to be a great dad and you’ll need the breaks. Take your time, we’ll still be here for you when you’re ready for more banter
Now you'll have to do an app to get yourself ready for those wonderful four A.M. feeds and daiper changes and don't fall asleep while you're feeding the little one.................................teehee...........................................
Congratulations on becoming parents, and may your days be full of sleepless nights and full of worry. I can speak from experience. I know what's coming your way so for give me for laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have no idea who these people are. Stop introducing me to new people! They are unvetted. They might invite themselves around to mine, eat all my toast (yes, I buy pre-made toast) and pet my cat the wrong way! If I wanted facts, I wouldn't be be here. I am here for a grown man acting like a child. So don't do it again until next time! I have never used so many exclamation marks in 1 post!
Congratulations! Please consider including women in your videos. There are plenty of great female tech RUclipsrs - there's really no good reason for this to be all male in this day and age.
Gladly 😁 and thanks for pointing that out, but I don’t have any personal connection with any lady smart home RUclipsrs. Do you know of any so I can reach out to them?
@@paulhibbert I don't know if you can see my subscriptions (tell me if not). There's lots of great female tech nerds on there. Not exclusively smart home, but it's amongst the tech they cover. RUclips is generally very lacking when it comes to female and non-white creators, so it would be lovely if bigger creators could help shift that.
I fully agree with you on all points but unfortunately this is very much a smart home video, and the RUclips smart home creator sector seems to be entirely a boys club. 😔 that’s not through choice I promise. I’ve become friends with these guys organically. I know of literally no female led smart home RUclips channels. This space is sorely lacking a female presence! There used to be a channel hosted by ladies but it was unfortunately as focused on their anatomy as it was on the products. If you’re interested in starting a channel let me know and I shall check your videos out! 😊
Will consider everything as long as it's not HA based because this platform is tinkerer paradise, security joke and normal user suffering since it was created. So i rather ignore all "revelations" of HA influencers.
@@luigicaracho1637 ... right up until they discover something that it can do that they can't do (or is incredibly involved and finicky) with other platforms. Speaking of "other platforms," I used HA as a command/control system which leverages Hubitat as an easy and reliable system to add just about anything to. I've just added a Matter/Thread hub (Aqara),
This video condensed my normal morning RUclips routine quite a bit. A few ideas to consider - eventually, your baby will become a toddler and very mobile. You might want to think of some smart routines (and some non-smart solutions!) to try to toddler-proof your home. Going back in time to my first kid, we had baby gates, cabinet locks, soft plastic corners installed on tables/counters with sharp corners, and many other things I'm sure my old age has made me forget. As I am typing, I just had an idea for a smart diaper - detect code brown (sometimes green) or code yellow....contacting Procter & Gamble now.
Happy Saturday and, once again, congratulations on meeting the requirements for paternity leave. I look forward to the time when the one you "snuck past the goalie" shows up in the videos as opposed to mini-Me (which is still a good gag regardless.) It's good to have friends who can help out when needed (and provide idea worth stealing at other times.) BTW, I enjoyed the interplay between Smart Home people (the merch bit made me laugh) as well as the general silliness (like everythingsmarthome's "unicorn farming workshop and haggis chasing world championships")
Great automations. Would love to hear your thoughts on what you should plan if building a new uk home that you want to make smart. What cables/hubs/switches etc should I plan for?
Wonder how much time all you guys spend baby sitting the automations. I gave up and waiting to see if AI makes it all more reliable. Congratulations on the baby. Buckle up my friend because you are about to enter the 4th dimension where time loses all meaning.
Happy Saturday everyone! Theo is 23 days old today, and we are 23 days happier… and more knackered. Massive thanks to everyone that helped me make this video. Please check out their channels at the links in the description and subscribe to them! 😁

(apart from the bald guy that kept interrupting with dad jokes)

Congratulations to the new dad (and Nisha)! Don't worry, makeup is a great way of concealing the massive bags under your eyes that you'll acquire over the next few months 😂 I liked them so much I grew then twice 👀😏
And now one of them is obsessed with Mr Socky!
Congratulations Brother! My daughter almost 15. It's a long arduous, stressful, rewarding, amazing and beautiful journey. And worth everything you put into it. Enjoy my man.

Congratulations 🎉 welcome to parenthood. It will give you the highest highs and the lowest lows. Fingers crossed for more highs than lows.
Congrats dude. It's Saturday morning and I slept until 8:30... You'll get to feel that feeling again in approximately 10-11 years.
Haha, thanks Rob, and thanks for joining me for the video! Xxx
More like 13 years .. youngest didn't stop getting up early until teenager
Congrats Paul! Having kids is the best thing ever. I'm sure Mr. Socky will tell your son great bedtime stories.
Thanks Reed! Mr Socky junior is sure to feature soon 😂 xxx
Congrats again Paul! Welcome to dad life!
Thanks for letting me be a part of your video! 😊
Any time dude, thank YOU for being a part of it! Xxx
Paul is so deep in rabbit holes, he's starting a new channel called Hole Assistant 😂
Congratulations to you both on your new arrival! 🎉
Que the Karen, "there's filth again!"
As always, thank you my friend! Xxx
Congratulations Paul! Good to see the community pitching in to help.

I absolutely love the comradery within the home automation youtubers
Is it weird that I followed everyone featured in this video? Lol 😂😂😂 congrats Paul 🎉
Most people would call that stalking 😜🤣

What a morning. All my favourite smart home posse. Thanks mate for organising this!
It’s thanks to them for being so kind as to help me out! Or in Brian’s case to help me oot
Crazy great assembly of my best YT automaters! Thanks for putting it together and help to stretch the imagination!
Stu's magic buttons and their scenes are amazing. I will definitely ripoff that idea. 😅 Great video guys.
I really enjoyed this video. Collaborating with the others and sharing their ideas, it shows you are all in this together. Awesome video and great ideas. Well done!
Congrats again! Nice to see the other guys pitch in a hand! It takes a village!
The coolest bunch of home automators in the world!!
The first routine I ever created was for night feeds. It would turn the lamp on where my partner fed our son and start playing a playlist of stuff that he enjoyed listening to. Barely worth being called a routine, it's still the only home automation thing that my partner has ever appreciated.

Congratulations Paul and Neesha. The little guy will never know what a light switch is in your house.
Theo says “A light switch is something that if you turn it off - gets you 15 mins on the naughty step…” - 😂
Cool. Should do more of these guys. Good to see some colabs going on

Yes. Saturday morning and hang out with my mate Paul.
Dammit, I posted too early only to hear you are not here. Have a fantastic time off.
I’m still here, watching from the side lines! 😁
Congrats to you and Nisha on your new arrival. You will get time to sleep through the night again soon!
Congratulations! Dad life is the best, I've been adding baby related automations and there are some insightful ones here. Thanks all!
Congratulations Paul. I hope you’ve invested in a scaletrix set for your son. Happy racing mate.
That was soooooo awesome, some great tips in there. I've been following most of those other channels too in my "rabbit hole" HA journey thats all of 6 weeks old lol
Yay.....more channels to check out 🎉
Congratulations guys!
Best wishes to you all. Welcome to parenthood 🎉🎉 Been watching your videos a few years now. Keep up the good work.
Seriously enjoyed that. Laughed so much. This is why I love Paul and Friends automations and laughter.
Thanks as always my friend!

Anyone have suggestions for smart home weather stations? Rain fall, wind, temp, humidity, etc?

Congratulations guys, is there a way of getting blink doorbell notifications on a google tv also Alexa enabled without using home assistant?
You definitely are it.
But incredibly nice of the other guys to do this for you
They’re the best!
At 12:48 is the face all smart home addicts pull when showing off a routine. It's the same as saying ”please work as you should” lol
I want to see how often kids use the automations setup by their parents.
One of your best videos!
Love this video and creators working together in general. If you do another one I’d be happy to contribute from my modest little channel.

Is Stu of Stusreviews related to Jeremy Clarkson ???
Congrats on becoming a dad!
So I just realized Paul that you are going to need a battery powered waterproof moisture sensor that you can put in the diaper to signal a red alert.
My vote goes to Stu for being easy to implement, hard to break and effective.
Robot nannies, we need robot nannies! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just press the flick button and baby would be fed and nappy changed?
