I defeated my Alexa ads by changing my location to Australia. That keeps me in English language but I think they're privacy protections are better so no ads on the screen. 👍
@@atlas7680 where are you located? I like RUclipsr turned off EVERYTHING and still get ads. That's how Amazon makes money off providing the service. Remember you either pay for the product or you are the product.
I completely agree, if nothing else get water leak sensors! I thought I’d never need it but my furnace starting leaking the other day and we were able to catch it almost immediately before any major damage happened
Reed. So I'm a HomeKit user but the tablet control panel is amazing. How about a short series taking us un-informed step by step from buying the tablet to having it up and running in our home - just like you showed it here? I mean, total baby steps. Great stuff
Thanks for the tip! I’m adding the sticky: true field to the Android notification and it doesn’t seem like it’s doing anything. The channel: alarm_stream makes a difference on my phone if it’s in do not disturb mode but if it’s not then the notification just comes across like normal 🤷♂️
@@SmartHomeSolver it might also be the persistent flag that I'm thinking of. I know that between sticky and persistent one means it doesn't go away when you tap on it and one means that it can't be dismissed but I don't remember which one is which. I think it also needs to have a tag, otherwise there's no way to clear it remotely. On Android you can also use the channel to make those notifications higher priority so they don't get buried like the example you showed in this video. Overall I remember the notifications being pretty picky but it's been a while since I played with them. Best to just experiment with all the different features from the docs for a while to figure out how they work though.
@@SmartHomeSolver Shouldn't you be able to use any channel name and then go to Home assistant notification setting son your phone and configure notifications for that channel? You could have `channel: "Important"` and configure it on your phone to override DND, Pop on screen, to not minimize and even have a different soud.
For your dishwasher door issue, you know it's just a simple spring adjusment. Just pull out the unit and on the side you will find spring with usually different holes position to adjust the tension. As for the lights, difinitely team warm here... ;)
Don't leave us hanging on the calendar video!! I just set up my kitchen dashboard yesterday and then saw you posted this video today. Would love to get some inspiration from your .yaml for the atomic calendar!
My lights gradually change color throughout the day, from warm white in the morning to cool white in the middle of the day, back to warm white in the evening. I also have a script for opening and closing windows based on temperature, absolute humidity, humidex, air quality, and weather conditions, which recommends opening or closing the windows when necessary. Additionally, when all windows are closed, the air purifier, dehumidifier, and thermostat will activate as needed.
I appreciate that not only did you show HA connected devices and solutions, but also great completely disconnected things that are still automating a process!
The “dinner is ready” automation is KEY! Been dreaming of something like that for years! It still isn’t the “hijack all screens” move that I wish I could have… but very good nonetheless!
I was angry about the ads on the Echo Show as well, but I found out that the ads can be disabled by changing the language in settings to English (Canada).
This isn't really a solution but our stove and microwave are wifi enabled LG appliances and they can be linked to turn on the microwave's vent fan and light when the stovetop is on. It's the best.
I love that automation for telling if the dishes are clean or not. Our dishwasher doesn’t have anything to tell you if it’s clean or not. But it does have a timer display. We just tell people if the timer is blinking it’s clean. The problem is when people accidentally turn it off
I do the same automation you do with your dishwasher for my ebike to know when it finished charging, I also use the power metering to determine if the bike has fully charged to turn off the outlet so the battery doesn't overcharge
Thanks to one of your videos we bought a CO2 sensor for our bedroom and figured out we often times sleep in a room with very high CO2 values (2.000-3.000). Bought one for our kids room immediately. Best solution for us (besides opening windows) was to leave the room‘s door open.
This video makes me happy! Smart homes and smart kitchens are a perfect match. And let's be real, the kitchen is where you can totally go overboard and over kill. 😂😊
You NEED to get CleanAirKits, especially in AZ, or some air purifier that can stay in its “on” power state. Use a smart plug to automate when both indoor and outdoor air quality is bad, or have it on a timer to be on in general. Make sure to use Merv 13 filters if you do this!
You can make an echo skill very easy and it will load a web page. Then you can use Home Assistant to reload the page every 30 mins to keep the screen saver from going. You’ll end up with the same thing as your google device without trashing the echo
Hey Reed, had a similar clock problem with my parents' oven. Turns out, it needed to be connected to the home network to get accurate time updates. Seems like they removed the high-reliability clocks from them in favor of Wi-fi. If your microwave has no wi-fi feature then obviously disregard.
@@SmartHomeSolver If you use something like a Unifi router you could put it on an isolated subnet and only give it a couple Kb/s of bandwidth; I prefer to do that for network items I don't trust at all. I can't imagine why a microwave would ever need wifi and tying the clock to it is super scummy.
I've got one of those automated stirs.....LOVE IT, it works great for something like risotta which demands constant stirring. The gadget can stir while I deal with other parts of the recipe. I also like 'Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver' as a non tech option to greatly extend the life of vegetables.
You might have your wall oven circuit checked. Some clocks run off the frequency of the power input. A fast clock could mean issues through that circuit. Just bought a home and am smarting it out. Thank you for all you info
Did the same with fire tablet and the wireless charger. Perfect to act as a portable tablet and the wireless charger is acting as a very nice stand. Only drawbacks: Size of the screen compared to the Echo and the lack of speaker compared to the pixel stand but I can live without it. :)
For iPhone users, the reminders app has a built in list type just for groceries, and when you add items to it it even categorizes them based on the isle they are typically found on in a store. If you move an item like “cheez-its” from the deli section to the snacks section, it will remember that for the future. Really easy to share reminder lists, and a big plus is that Siri is fast with adding items and doesn’t talk your ear off as punishment lol. Oh you can even add multiple items with one command.
All great stuff! Have you looked into changing the leds on the innovelli switches yet? I use them like you use your motion sensor for notifications and it is super helpful. If they are all red, the alarm is set, so we know to disarm before letting the dog out :).
My kids broke my dishwasher door too, and I also like to open to air dry, but I have a narrow galley kitchen. One of my kids holds the world record for flipping over the dishwasher, which is why it is broken lol. The solution I found to allowing it to air dry safely, is to put a piece of paracord with a hook on each end. Most dishwashers have a latch door closure it can hook onto, or slip a large loop around the whole door and use a carabiner or hook to secure it to the latch. It allows dishes to dry with the door ajar to your desired opening and limits circus acts in the kitchen lol
I got recommended the Jaspr air filter, apparently its really good. Its expensive but could be better about the air quality than simply notifying you. I would love a review of this product from you
One little trick for the smart bulb vs smart switch. Buy a Lutron pico remote and the wall plate adapter (and hard wire your bulbs). You can then detect when the buttons are pushed on the remote and trigger the bulbs in Home Assistant. Benefit, you can use an automation that can not only turn the light on and off but you can also change the luminosity or color… ;-)
If you place a temp/humidity sensor in the extractor hood you can detect if someone is cooking. For my week meal plan if use Mealie with a Home Assistant api integration to show the whole week planning and a photo from Mealie with todays meal.
Glad that u finally made a solo video on ur kitchen, I can't imagine a smart home without a special kitchen. If you agree with me a kitchen is the only place in a smart home that that you can over kill. I mean way not😊😂
I'm team adaptive lighting, apple home has their version, but I use the home assistant variant, with some tweaking you can have some really good adaptive lights in the home to help you have that perfect day/night lightning.
My wife and I bought a GE Smart Oven. It's been really nice and lazy, I mean convenient, to preheat the oven when we're driving home from work or simply sitting on the couch watching football. The wifi connected clock is a plus. 😜
Clock Reset - This may or may not work with your microwave, but I set up a very simple dumb clock reset for three clocks in our house. If the batteries are removed, the clocks reset to the same time (12 pm in this case) every time the power is cycled. So I added a smart plug and turn off the power for about 15 seconds ending at 12 pm every day. This means the clocks are always very accurate and I don't have to reset them after a power outage or for Daylight Saving Time. The down side is that I may have to endure up to a day of incorrect time if a power outage is soon after the reset. Two of the clocks annoyingly beeped every time the power came back on, so I opened them up and carefully scratched a gap in the circuit leading to the beeper on the printed circuit board. Since we did not need the alarms in these clocks, the beeping problem was solved.
Great to see you calling amazon out for the disgusting bait and switch practices. I had the same issue as you, so i got rid of my echo show device, replaced it with a pixel tablet, and have promised myself to never buy another amazon device. I still use the voice assistants for now, but in the longer term I'd like to replace them. I understand that the devices are cheap, but they are not upfront about the fact that these essentially tacky advertisement billboards for your home.
Very nice, i would like to rebuild the Dashboard like yours for our Kitchen. Please make a Tutorial for it. Im Searching for such a long time and now i think your solution fits best. THX
Warm for the pendant lights. Cool white is great for bright as day lighting, perfect for cooking but there is nothing romantic about cool white lights.
On android (at least) you can assign different channels for notifications, so they do not fall into single pile. You can even assign important notifications different sounds
I'm putting zooz switches (z-wave) for my whole house with Wiz bulbs and downlights. Smart lights will be always powered, light switches trigger scenes depending on the time. Unifi devices providing excellent IOT network Home Assistant ensuring local control
I am definitely a warm light person specifically around 2700. My mom doesn't really care and will when changing out light bulb when it dies will just usually just pick a random one from the loose light bulb box. I can usually tell when two lights and not the same and will fix it because it bothers me. Non matching light bulb color temperature and brightness bothers me more then warm vs cool. They don't have to be matching light bulb brands or anything just as long as the lumens and color temperature matches. If I am at home and it's not a 2700k light bulb in any I will change it and go to the store to get more if needed.
U can order dishwasher friction pads to keep the door from falling when you open it. Same thing happened to me and I have the same dishwasher u have. Easy inexpensive fix.
For lights: Warm white, but not 2200K or similar, that is way too warm. 3000K to 4000K is where it's at. 4000K if you use them during day, 3500K if it's more during evening (before sunset), and 3000K if you mostly use them after sunset. You could go lower, but if you need to use 2200K bulb during the day at all, it looks crap.
I liked the concept of Showing Food Prep for Today and Tomorrow and Wanted to know more about it . Can you please share the code here to do analysis more and implement for myself
Those "cheap" USB-C devices I've found the issue is usually that the 2.0 standard on type-C is not followed properly, or maybe there is multiple methods, but a REAL 3.1+ cable works 100% of the time.
From the looks of your microwave/oven I have the same or similar model with the same issue. It has a setting where you can have it get the time from WiFi instead of manually setting it and it fixed the fast clock.
If your air gradient is correct at the time of recording, your indoor co2 levels were 1000ppm. That’s borderline on “turn on ventilation” and drowsiness levels.
1:25 i have esphome ESP32 device with 3$ DF9-40 pressure sensor underneath the washing machine leg, so that i don't have to press that green button myself :P it took some time to make it perfect via smoothing, derivative sensors, since when someone walks around the washing machine it can sway. Or try finding one with more pressure instead of 0-20kg that i have. Maybe that will make more difference :)
Great video Reed! That Shelfy fridge device is really interesting. I can't seem to find any information on whether or not it is able to be integrated into Home Assistant or not. Have you been able to?
I wasn't able to watch the video yet, but I use a light that is as close to natural daylight as possible, i bought new ledstrips for the kitchen exclusively for the kitchen. Warm white lights mess with the colors of food a bit, and I'm around cold white lights enough at work.
I've been procrastinating on doing that because it's not straightforward. In The Netherlands it's common to have "whole house" (in reality it's usually just kitchen, toilet and bathroom) ventilation box that always run at a slow speed - and you can crank it up when cooking/showering/etc. You can get either wired rotary control (from what I can see on wiring schematics it's just phase being sent via different pin) or typical EU plug and wireless controller. Since this box was replaced a while before I got into home automation (I think back then something like "Mr. House" written in Perl was the way to go) I took the wireless option. Works fine for manually switching it on in the kitchen. Not so great for So now instead of simply controlling 3 relays to select the higher speeds - I need to figure out how to record/replay the RF remote signals, and whatever logic it's using to pair up remote and box after power outage.
Love your content! Question: Have run across a graphic (GUI) layout of the whole house that shows your devices with status within HomeAssistant similar to what SmartThings has in their latest release? As for Warm or Cool lighting; Cool for doing tasks, Warm for mood/conversation.
OK I need to step up my dashboard game. But its a daunting mission. Can you point me into any guides to start building that "dishwasher button"? I think once I get that one down the rest would be variations of that with some tweaking.
cool automation. Love it! There is something I like to ask you for Outdoor Smart Door Sensor, what do you Use for that? Thank you in advance! I am Using Homey Pro & Apple Hub for my hub

I have my Echo Shows in night mode all day long. That only displays the clock and only an ad if I on the rare occasion use a voice command
If your air gradient is correct at the time of recording, your indoor co2 levels were 1000ppm. That’s borderline on “turn on ventilation” and drowsiness levels.
TEAM WARM BABY!
Noooo!
Hi! What theme are you using for your dashboard? It looks very nice!
Warm light for where high pedestrians congregate.. cool lights for utility rooms
1:25 i have esphome ESP32 device with 3$ DF9-40 pressure sensor underneath the washing machine leg, so that i don't have to press that green button myself :P it took some time to make it perfect via smoothing, derivative sensors, since when someone walks around the washing machine it can sway. Or try finding one with more pressure instead of 0-20kg that i have. Maybe that will make more difference :)
Great video Reed! That Shelfy fridge device is really interesting. I can't seem to find any information on whether or not it is able to be integrated into Home Assistant or not. Have you been able to?
Hate to say it Reed, but Aly is 100% right about that bulb temperature!
Complains about Amazon ads, then litters video with ads. Nailed it!
Warm lights for sure
I wasn't able to watch the video yet, but I use a light that is as close to natural daylight as possible, i bought new ledstrips for the kitchen exclusively for the kitchen.
Warm white lights mess with the colors of food a bit, and I'm around cold white lights enough at work.
You should definitely automate the vent fan. Ours automatically turn on when we’re cooking.
I've been procrastinating on doing that because it's not straightforward.
In The Netherlands it's common to have "whole house" (in reality it's usually just kitchen, toilet and bathroom) ventilation box that always run at a slow speed - and you can crank it up when cooking/showering/etc. You can get either wired rotary control (from what I can see on wiring schematics it's just phase being sent via different pin) or typical EU plug and wireless controller.
Since this box was replaced a while before I got into home automation (I think back then something like "Mr. House" written in Perl was the way to go) I took the wireless option. Works fine for manually switching it on in the kitchen. Not so great for
So now instead of simply controlling 3 relays to select the higher speeds - I need to figure out how to record/replay the RF remote signals, and whatever logic it's using to pair up remote and box after power outage.
Team WARM, for sure,
So how did you get the timers and music working? (did I miss it in the video?)
Freaking awesome! Uhh the last three seconds?!? lol😅
Love your content! Question: Have run across a graphic (GUI) layout of the whole house that shows your devices with status within HomeAssistant similar to what SmartThings has in their latest release? As for Warm or Cool lighting; Cool for doing tasks, Warm for mood/conversation.
cool light
Team warm, it's classy and....warm.
15:47 candy dispenCer ? 🤭
NO, COOL LIGHTS 1000%
Ordered a shirt!
That’s so cool 12:45
OK I need to step up my dashboard game. But its a daunting mission. Can you point me into any guides to start building that "dishwasher button"? I think once I get that one down the rest would be variations of that with some tweaking.
Warm lights for sure, I want to feel like I am at home, not in an office or a hospital.
Which protocol is more reliable like wifi, zigbee, matter or bluetooth and which you use more.
cool automation. Love it! There is something I like to ask you for Outdoor Smart Door Sensor, what do you Use for that? Thank you in advance! I am Using Homey Pro & Apple Hub for my hub
