I have 2 one is for bed time with my youngest we just had him the roku remote and he presses the home button which turns on an over head set of stairs lights and then also turns on a strip of LEDS running WLED which flows in a motion going up to bed. The other one I have also from my youngest so he can know when someone has come home. and all that does is flash a my lifx bulb green when I come home or blue when my wife comes home. its cute and my son often will run to the window to wave at who ever just came home
Once my clothes washing machine is done washing, and the weather is sunny, my smart speaker will remind me to put the clothes on the drying line. Seems daft, but is very handy for both me and the wife.
Certainly my wife’s favourite automation it the one that detects if she has left work and if she has driven through a point in her journey which is the same time that is required to make a mug of tea for her. It lets me know and I make it for when the door opens!
I know you didn't want "obvious" automations, but this is one is a little bit different. I got a Zigbee Lux sensor from eBay. It has to be fed through a sensor filter using the Simple Moving Average time window to smooth it out a bit. I have an input_number from 0 to 100, which is the master brightness for the whole house. The slider is then moved with an automation that reacts to changes in the outside Lux level. This way - if it suddenly gets really cloudy outside, the lights in the house can behave like it is night time, and if it brightens up again, they will switch off again. This is the Jinja code I am using to calculate the Master %. {% set val = trigger.to_state.state|int %} {% set min_in = 1 %} {% set max_in = 3000 %} {% set max_out = 100 %} {% set min_out = 1 %} {% set out = (101 - (max_out + (min_out - max_out) * (1 - ((val - min_in) / (max_in - min_in))))) %} {% if out < min_out %}{% set out = min_out %}{% endif %} {% if out > max_out %} {% set out = max_out %}{% endif %} {{ out|int }} I then have input_number sliders for each room with dimmable lights, that calculates it's own brightness level based on the master slider. Here is the living room as an example: {% set min = 15 %} {% set max = 82 %} {% set b = (trigger.to_state.state|int) -(100 - max) %} {% if b = max %} {% set v = max %} {% else %} {% set v = b %} {% endif %} {{ v }}
i'd love a part 2 :) , i really like the automation when i go to bed as wel although i just use my phones charging state to detect it since i don't have a bad occupancy sensor yet 😢
Nice picks! My favorite things to add: - Exterior lights on dusk and time clock - Xmas lights on time of day and calendar schedule - Garage door open and close button (rather than a single button like you have on the wall or car). Needs a feedback closure sensor - Garage door contacts (man doors and overhead doors) and motion combo to manage the lights in the garage. One I want to figure out someday when I have time is to have a PIP to all TVs on doorbell cam action, but i think this might be a pain based on HDMI and licensing, but I have not spent time deep diving on this yet.
You are the best Lewis! loved your bed automation idea! I have a similar one but it gets triggered with a wall push button (attached to a shelly i3) next to the bed. I would love a part 2, 3 , and more! greetings from a big fan from Italy!
Just watched this video and while this may be very very simple its my first one. it's also very convenient for our home. We plug our phones in another room so that our kids are not grabbing at the phone while its charging and pull it off the charger. I have setup an automation that when the phone reaches 100% on the charger it will then send a TTS to the living room speaker stating "Dex phone is charged" or my wifes name. Simple yet has become very useful for us.
You basically create a Lovelace view with a full screen camera card, then when the button is you tell fully kiosk to switch to that view, it's really simple!
here is what i have implemented and found useful (other than the common ones): -cast to my nest hub a voice warning when my phone battery gets below 20% and when my phone is fully charged -cast to my nest hub a live feed when someone is at front of my door
Hey. Thanks for the material. I’m really enjoying it as I set up home assistant. I’m looking for a sensor that will tell me the volume and temperature of water in our old school hot water tank in the airing cupboard. We turned down the water heating and can’t yet find the right balance so we run out of water. I’m hoping to find a stick on strip type thermometer but the solution could be 3 separate small thermometers that are inserted into the tank insulation. Combined with some maths and practical tests it should be very doable. I just haven’t yet found an example of it being done before
My favorite used everyday automation is a long press on the switch near my bed, which activates the 'turn off all lights, go to bed' scene. Simple, quick, no computer or UI needed, just long press. 2nd favorite is a double click on the shower light switch, which flashes my young sons lights and tells him its time for his shower.
Hi I am new to Home Assistant, I have a wall-mounted tablet, and trying to work out how to auto-recharge the unit say when the battery level drops to 40% and switch off at 95%, any help would be much appreciated
I have the First Alert Z-Wave Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Alarm. Running Home Assistant with automations set up in Node-RED. Alarm goes off, all lights turn on to red. Will also send notification to my phone. Another automation watches power levels for battery-powered devices.
Awesome. I'm wondering how the movie automation works. Ik have a Chromecast and i van detect when it's playing. But you say you can detect wether it is a movie. I wilde love to know how, since this is something i want aswell. Thx in advance
I'm taking care of an elderly parent with dementia. I have a motion sensor on the floor pointed right where she would be if she gets out of bed or falls out of bed. If the motion sensor is triggered in a certain time frame, then it is functionally a bed occupancy detector.
Hi Lewis, 5 nices automation, my favourite is Doorbell on the wall mounted Tablet, which brand of doorbell you use? I use à Ezviz DB1, i didnt succeed to find how to catch bell button.
wow... you are the endboss of home automation :D I even failed at those Aqara motion detectors and HASS to make it work properly and left my SmartHome dumb as it was.
Really enjoy every single one of your videos, it makes me want to simply get back to the Home Assistant WEB UI to do more stuff ahhaha Btw, what video doorbell do you use? Can you have two way audio through Home Assistant?
For the alarm I use HACS Alarmo custom integration. It’s very complete, well documented with nice ui. I’ve made a script for blinking red light when the alarm is triggered and Google home to say that the police has been called With automations and presence detection I put the alarm on armed mode when nobody is home and with an diy made tag reader (same that home assistant blog) I just scan a nfc tag when I’m home to disarm and shut off my cameras :p
Have managed to set up REST and MQTT with my wallpanel. The Camera acts as a Motion Sensor through MQTT, then pushing REST commands to fully kiosk browser. E.G. If the wallpanel isn't on the home page and no motion detected for two minutes, load the home page... might come in handy for yours.
Is it possible to do one on vehicle telemetry and home assistant with a sprinkle of grafana? Would love to oil change alerts based on fuel consumption instead of distance travelled
about that last one with the bed: did you take into account that someone might get sick and stay in bed during the day? would be a good idea to create a mode for that.
Thanks! There is a smart pressure pad that you can put under the mattress from a company called Withings. You need 2 though for each side and they aren't cheap. There may be other alternatives

I'm curious your thoughts on automation exceptions and proactively planning around situations where you want to disable an automation. For example, when we have a guest staying over (or maybe someone watching kids while we go out) I have to go and disable most location based automations (auto arming alarm, turning off all lights/heat) and disable some automations like setting a "good night" scene which would kill lights in the guest bedroom. Best I've thought is to have a boolean helper "guest here" which I can toggle on and add as a condition in automations. Would you do it differently?
What do you have on your blinds to open and close them? I have very similar style and hoping this isn't a custom solution. Edit: Found the card to this, thanks!

How did you pull of the Android TV integration? I can't seem to find any integration that provides the type of information you showed in the video? BTW: Great video
Another is the auto open and auto close esp chip in the car psuedo garage door fob substitute. Car ignition switch turns on the chip it connects to your wifi and updates the last will and testament in mqtt causing the garage door to open. When the chip is out of range or powered off when the car ignition is turned off the garage closes.
The bed sensor can detect when 'one or more' people are in your bed, 'eh? 😅 In all seriousness though, great video with great ideas! We have a 'movie night' scene that we trigger by voice control rather than specific content and time of day, but I like your idea for triggers and may have to borrow that idea from you. I do also want to set up person detection, and perhaps eventually specific person facial recognition with deepstack. I haven't decided how I feel about this yet, but I could have an automation to unlock the front door if the following conditions are met: my face is in the doorbell camera, my phone is at 'home' via GPS, and my phone is connected to my home wifi network (or the same conditions for any other family member). I will probably want to add a few more conditions to this list for security, but the idea is a door that unlocks itself when you come home.
Love your videos and ideas! I trigger my bedtime routine (turns off all lights on first floor as we go upstairs, stops the music/TV etc) through saying 'good night' to alexa. This turns a bedtime boolean on which in turn starts a nodered flow. The boolean is turned off by a motion sensor in the morning when I walk downstairs, I get a weather forecast for the day from alexa, music starts, lights turn on if it is too dark outside. I have my background music always on through Sonos (unless I watch TV) . It is automated to play a time-of-a-day based playlist or station (or Christmas music in December). E.g. For the station/playlist I want to be randomly played in the morning I just add 'morning' to the playlist name in he Sonos app. I use nodered most of my automations.

If you got one for other reasons sure
Love your videos and ideas! I trigger my bedtime routine (turns off all lights on first floor as we go upstairs, stops the music/TV etc) through saying 'good night' to alexa. This turns a bedtime boolean on which in turn starts a nodered flow. The boolean is turned off by a motion sensor in the morning when I walk downstairs, I get a weather forecast for the day from alexa, music starts, lights turn on if it is too dark outside. I have my background music always on through Sonos (unless I watch TV) . It is automated to play a time-of-a-day based playlist or station (or Christmas music in December). E.g. For the station/playlist I want to be randomly played in the morning I just add 'morning' to the playlist name in he Sonos app. I use nodered most of my automations.
That is awesome, seems very well thought out!
please please do a movie watching scenes automation video

Best home automation is no home automation, it only makes people more lazy and way to expensive to maintain over the years.
Why have an ambi light when watching a movie defeats the purpose ffs
Umm...what?
