Nice vid. I never see someone doing remoted lights and i rlly like it 👏
Thank you very much! The remote lights were a lot of fun to put together, especially the multiple switches part!
@@BrickMachines1 My favourite was the very complex looking smart sink.
Maybe you could also do something to control your TV?
Pretty cool! The one practical thing that's always an issue I see with these types of machines is that in reality, they're not very useful if there's some manual input such as turning the EV3 brick on or off. To make these useful, they should be hardwired to house power, and there could also be an option to turn them off remotely (such as building a separate unit that turns the machine off). However, they get too bulky and get in the way of things. As a concept however, they are neat.
I'd suggest making an automated curtain/rolling shutter/blinds opener/closer, and perhaps a machine that folds clothes - pants, shirts, socks, etc.
Thank you! With the sleep timer set to infinite they never turn off, and they have external power supplied via a wall outlet or they can alternatively run on batteries if that is preferred. So these devices don't need any interaction to keep running 👍 Oh a clothing folding robot would be sick! Nice idea!
@@BrickMachines1 It could work, but I think you should do the curtains or blinds ones first, since A) they're easier to make and B) they're more useful.
This really is the most underrated youtube channel i’ve ever seen
Thank you so much! It means a ton! What part did you like best?
SO true
@@BrickMachines1 everything
@@mightyroboty thanks so much!
@@kirbyeatsaburger thank you!
Door lock was definitely the coolest. No doubt.
Maybe do some sort of Smart TV thing out of LEGO. So like the EV3 would use the TV remote to change channels or turn the TV on, but you wouldn’t have to be in the same room to use it. Basically like a remote extension using the EV3 hubs.
Also, I LITERALLY JUST THOUGHT ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS THE DAY BEFORE YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO!!! but hey at least I can build another thingy I thought of
Thank you, the door lock was a ton of fun to do! Oh nice, the Smart TV idea is an awesome one! And I think there's an easy-ish way to send IR signals from an emitter connected to the EV3, so maybe it wouldn't even need the remote... 🤔
WOW, no way! It's crazy how that happens sometimes. 😂 Thanks as always for your comments. They're much appreciated!
@@BrickMachines1 Hmm… maybe… 🤔
Thanks for the videos!
No problem! I love making the robots and the videos, and I'm super glad you enjoy watching them.
I Liked The Door one The best Because i love locks and keys 🔒🔑🔓🔑
I don't need to worry about my mum yelling about me not closing the lights after I go to the bathroom
This is WAAY cheaper then buying a monthly or yearly Smart Home subscription, minus the fact that you have to buy the items needed if you don't have them.
I expected this build to be sketchy and impractical but it ended up being the exact opposte!. You have a portable remote controller and also can still control everything manually! Awesome!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Plz make instructions for these gadgets, your 100% working Minecraft Lego series, etc. Thanks!
P. S. : This is the best Lego channel EVER!!!
You know when you love Lego so much you live off it
4:29 Impressive door lock
Thank you!
This is smart
Great!
Thank you so much! Did you have a favorite gadget?
I bet one day this guys house is just going to be made from Lego gadgets
lol yeah that'd be amazing haha
What I like about this is the interface. You can control everything with one hub! (through bluetooth?)
Amazing work!
Thanks, that's one of my favorite parts too! You got it, every smart gadget acts as a bluetooth server, and the main controller acts as a client and connects to each server as necessary to send commands. Which gadget was your favorite?
@@BrickMachines1 Aha I see! I liked the door lock, but I would love to see a robot set the table!
Thanks! Yeah I hope to get that table-setting robot cranked out soon 👍 It'd be pretty useful 😉
this was so underrated
This is awesome.
Creative builds! I'd like to see a smart gadget that holds my book and turns the pages at my command.
Thank you! Wow, what a fantastic idea! 👍 It would be tricky to turn just one page and not several at once, but I'm sure it could be done, and to build challenging robots! Which gagdet was your favorite?
@@BrickMachines1 I liked the one that turned on multiple lights the best. Yeah, you're right, challenging to turn just one page at a time!
I love that one too--it's probably my favorite 😊 Thanks for the comment! I'm always up for a challenge 😉
Maybe it would work best to have the books on an iPad or a Kindle, and then have a way to have the robot turn the pages by swiping left and right. I was in the hospital once in a bed next to a woman that had a bad accident and was a quadriplegic. I thought it would be great to be able to have a way for her to be able to read a book on her own. It could be set up by someone else and then she could control it through either voice or some other method. Just some thoughts… (… Or Cindy could even use it, if she’s in bed and doesn’t want to reach her hand up to swipe right and left! 😀😴)
Oh awesome idea! That would be much simpler than what I was thinking. It wouldn't be too difficult to rig something up to be controlled by voice only. Nice thinking!
This channel should be way more popular.
i cant believe his house is lego compatible, such as simply the screws on his light switch
Wow!!!!!!
I want a Lego machine that can make dinner all by himself in the leg of a mould
These are very cool! I’m so glad to hear you’re using your own voice to narrate the videos. It’s much more pleasant to my ears and understandable than the robot voices.
Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the book page turner! Good luck. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Did you have a favorite gadget? I think it is easier for the people who watch these videos to feel more connected to me when I use my own voice, so I think it's a good change that will stick around. 👍 Yes, that book page turner would be tricky but fun to tackle!
I like hearing you talk about your thought process as you are working through the solutions, and the way you toss out the parts that just didn’t work right! Makes me feel like I’m right there with you as you’re working through the solution. Great job! Fun to watch.
I definitely like the idea of the dog feeder and throwing the ball for the dog. I love dogs, but I’m afraid these gadgets might make me lazy, so I better get up and go walk my dog now! Keep up the fun videos. I’m enjoying them.
Thank you! I've started to like that approach too, to share the process of finding a working solution!
Right?! I think those gadgets would be so great, but I'd need to not get lazy too. 😂
i'd love to see automated austrailan light switches.
This guy is like lego tony stark.
I want my light switch to be automated
Yes, automated lights are so cool!
I forgot how to make a automated light switches I want help
Door opener for the dog
Very useful
Noce work.
This is so cool!
Thanks so much! Between the light switches, door locks, and sink, did you have a favorite gadget?
@@BrickMachines1 I really like the sink one, because your sink wouldn't get soap and water all over the handles because you never need to even need to touch them👍
That is a really nice feature! I love that too haha 👍 Thank you for the comment, as always!
My favourite gadget was the automatic door we’re going I can’t believe you can make it, but I meant the locker with Lego
Automatic video game player!
Let’s just hope they don’t get possessed 😅😂
lol yeah hopefully not!
I do not have an EV3 robot yet so I am going to get one one day
That would be awesome! They're a ton of fun to use!
Make even more
Once again, excellent builds with excellent presentation.
Are you using Micropython to code the bricks?
Also, do you have any specific resources to share on how bricks can communicate with each other?
For the video performance, my only reccomendation would be to use background music to easily get your viewers in the right mood.
Thank you for the comment and the insight! Yes, MicroPython is used to program all the controllers. Here's a link to the documentation on communication: pybricks.com/ev3-micropython/messaging.html
Thanks for the tip! I've experimented with music on some videos and not on others. People seem to like it better without, but I'd like to try some more and see if that changes. Personally I like music in the background too! Which smart gadget was your favorite?
@@BrickMachines1 Probably the light switch but only for the creative construction with the screws/bolts :)
Yeah that was a fun discovery! 👍 Thanks!
AWESOME
Can I have a robot that cooks dinner for me?
That's an awesome idea for the next round of smart home gadgets! Nice thinking!
Do you think you could help make a tutorial for an automated lego door lock for a door that doesn't have a lock on it?
A Lego roomba
Can you make a lego machine that can pass the butter
The lock door
2055: i built a human working heart using only lego
Sir God bless you..
Thank you! God bless you too!
-Mom, i want a new smarthome
-But we already have a smarthome
-SHIT I FORGOT
This is like mission impossible technology. Locked doors? No problem! Just hack into the ev3 and unlock it
Lol yes! I love your description of this 👍☺️
We need an automated paper towel dispenser to go with the automated sink
That's a good idea!
Omg, I love that! I, myself, was thinking about building a remote control Lego robot that shuts the door in my room for me because my parents always leave it open. Would be pretty easy I think with some rubber wheels. However, I don’t own the evo Lego technic set :( so maybe you can make my wish come true? And is there an option to control all of your smartphone with an app installed of a Lego controller?
Thank you Luca! That is a really great idea! I think that would be an awesome addition to the list of smart home gadgets. 👍 You're right, it wouldn't be too difficult to get a robot to close the door! It depends on which controller you use, but I know for sure you can use your smartphone to control a EV3 with an app. Nice idea! What kinds of LEGO themes do you like to build with?
Bro you deserve way more Subscribe. More People need to see your vids
Thank you! I hope to grow my channel quickly! Which LEGO Smart Home Gadget did you like best?
Amazing but I just have one question how do you get all those Mindstorms with each of the being about $4-500 each (CAD)
A smart gadget that turns on your console
Great idea!
You're smart
cool! i dont even kbow how to use python
If you're looking for a bit simpler/cheaper solution I made EV3 compatible controller for DC loads like relays/electric valves/bulbs etc. Allows you to control up to 8 different things using one sensor port (more with I2C splitter) and probaly costs quite a bit less.
Oh that is awesome! I would love to take a look at that! For any gadgets dealing with electrical components, using relays is definitely a much better option over mechanically doing the action that a human would normally do. Nice idea! What is your EV3-compatible DC load controller called?
@@BrickMachines1 no name, at least not yet. I'm happy to drop you all the details, but I can't add any photos to comments. Would you mind sharing email or something?
Thanks for sending the details! I'm excited to look into it!
Automate getting into bed
Make a Lego machine that builds Lego machines
Thats so cooool!!! Ur a genious
Why didn’t I watch this when l Heard of your channel??? This is so cool!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Light bcuz i can finally run away from the monster inside my house 😅
How many ev3 u got
I have three right now, so I can't make my whole house smart yet, but maybe someday! Which gadget did you like best?
@@BrickMachines1 wow each ev3 brick is about 100-600$ so u got a lot of money to spend
I love your videos so much! You’re awesome
Bro will be on Mars before everyone else
If you manually toggle the position of either a switch or a door lock to the opposite position that is stored in the device how does it handle that to not lock a locked door or turn on a light that's on.
Good job
Thank you!
BRO HOW DID U MAKE THOSE THESE ARE SO COOL MAN HOW DID U MAKE THOSE I LOVE IT❤
ALL
Link to the video please and I love the video
Could you make a automatic door opener/closer
This is for the bed/couch potatoes. If you already have the automatic locking robot you should make an automatic closing door robot! so if you don’t want to get up cause your too lazy you can use the door closer and then the
door locker! So you should make an Automatic Door Closer!
A robot for butter that occasionally asks what's it's purpose is and gets said when you tell it that it retrieves the butter for you 😂
Damn love the commitment. Just don’t let an official electrician see you taking the cover screws out or they won’t be happy and will likely find some sort of builders code violation (which I’m sure there’s one about depth.
This is the best form of laziness!😂
its lik if tony stark only used legos XD
Make a video of a tennis ball thrower but Lego with that be cool break machines cool cool I really like tennis
Can you make a Minecraft mob with cogs and saddle?
I need to make one of these for my wife so that she can warm up her shower before she gets there. Mine is close to the water heater but hers is not.😊
That's a great idea! And a good use of a smart home gadget 👍
I think it would be cool if you made a timing module that automatically locks a door (say your front door) after you leave or after a certain amount of time like 5 minutes. Maybe you can also add a simple system to disengage the automatic lock so when you’re bringing groceries in the house and have to make multiple trips then you don’t have to unlock the door 50 times.
Woah, that'd be cool! Especially the idea to automatically unlock the door (and maybe even open it) when you're bringing in groceries!
@@BrickMachines1 Maybe you could use a light sensor near the doorknob to trigger this, since your hand will reduce the light level.
Wait isn’t there a robot piece that can detect sound that something makes? Cant you use that for the lights
I have a question but first very cool video! This channel deserves at least 800k subs. My question is do you know a website/store that sells Legos for a decent price?
Do an oven preheater
What about a door closing itself without anyone pushing it
Ur vids are amazing u need more Views
A bot to get my technology for me 😂😅
Every thing
Haha thank you! This was a very fun video to make, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
THANKS ALSO IM VERY NEW TO THE CHANNEL
Welcome to the channel then! So glad you're here!
I don’t even have any ev3s! I really want some
These gadgets are so cool you inspired me to make some with my nxt although I will have to control them with my computer since I don’t have two nxt. Can I control the nxt with my iPhone?
Thank you so much! Yes, I know there are ways to control the EV3 with an iPhone, and I'm sure you can with the NXT too, but I haven't done it before. Which gadget was your favorite one?
My favorite gadget was the hand washer. If you find a way to control a nxt with a i phone I’d love to see you make a video on it. Thanks :)
Thanks I love that one too! Yeah I'm certain there's a way to do it...maybe there will be a project where I will have to figure it out. I use NXTs over EV3s sometimes because they have different pros and cons, so I wouldn't be surprised if that need comes up at some point. Do you build with NXTs a lot, or is there a project you're working on?
The only thing I really built were the standard instructions it comes with such as the robot the color sorter and I built a Rubiks cube solver. I think I could make some gadgets like yours if I could connect them to my phone to control them.
Nice, a Rubik's cube solver would be awesome and challenging! Oh yeah, you could totally make some gadgets! What would you "gadgetize" at your house?
What happend to the lightswitch programm, if someone change it from on to off manualy does the Programm recognize it and gives an feedback?
Are you going to do a vidio for the other gadgets?
how many ev3s do you have and how much did that cost and do you actully use it or is it torn apart after the vid
Thanks for the comment! I have a few EV3s and NXTs which let's me keep the builds together for a while, but eventually I do take them apart. It's a good question and I'm glad you asked! But that's partly what I like LEGO for...getting to create something new from the same parts 👍 Did you have a favorite gadget in this video?
@@BrickMachines1 i found the simple light switch the best
Nice, I'm glad you liked that one 🙂 Much appreciation for the comments!
@@BrickMachines1 thanks but maby not make a extra menu just for on/off just use the side to side buttons
Ah, nice suggestion! I was wondering if there were too many levels of menu...oh yeah I remember why I did that. For the next gadgets, like a thermostat or something, I wanted to have like "Temp Up" and "Temp Down" so eventually not everything will just be On and Off. Still you're right, it would be simpler right now to take that level of the menu off! Awesome idea!
why are you dont use ir sensors for handwashing machine?
Door lock
At 3:30 the robot is hiding as an light switch
Use this to spook someone
I would like a device that folds my clothes for me.
Oh that's such a good idea! I'd like that too 😉
WHERE DO YOU GET THAT STUFF PLEASE TELL ME!
Noone knows 😂
I NEED AN AUTOMATIC TOILET 🚽 FLUSHER PLZ
good idea for the locks till the ev3 runs out of battery...
Yeah, that one specifically is tricky but still external power can be routed through a hinge of the door and it can be plugged in at all times!
@@BrickMachines1 beware of power shorts lol
lock
Like five night at freddy
do you actually use these or are they just for the video,because to actually buy those things is way more expensive
