Easily Get Wyze Cam Into Any App // Wyze Docker Bridge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Today we will look at how to set up the Wyze Docker Bridge. This Docker container will allow you to output the video stream from MOST Wyze Cams and put it into RTSP, RTMP, or HLS. Meaning you can put your video into almost any application or NVR! The best part is it can be run right from Home Assistant.
So check out my easy to follow walkthrough on installation, configuration, and adding to Home Assistant.

This video was fantastic. I am so thrilled I can setup my cams without flashing the firmware... Worked perfectly!
Worked great! Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. I got my three Wyze cams running perfectly.
Very nice! Glad it helped.
Thanks so much for the recommendation to watch your video on the Wyze docker bridge. I don't have Home Assistant but after watching that and more of your in-depth videos on Home Assistant I'm going to use it along with the Wyze docker bridge. I really appreciate the time and effort you take making these videos and sharing your knowledge!
This video is awesome. I am so thrilled I can now setup my cams without flashing the firmware after multiple fails!
I am so happy it helped!!!
This worked perfectly! Thanks for the video.!!
this was just what i was looking for, many thanks
You are welcome.
I've been using a Wyze Bridge Docker container for 6 months now and it's rock solid with my 4 cameras. Before that I used the TinyCam solution on an old Android phone and it was super flakey. Great video.
I have had it for quite a while as well. But with some of the new features it is so easy to use. Glad you liked it!
I have it in a standalone docker container, pulling from the cloud so I'm going to set it up directly in HA and pull the feed locally. Thanks for the video.
Finally something that works for my Wyze chicken coop camera. Thanks dude. I’m having trouble doing the generic camera integration. I’m not home to mess with it locally, the shows up on the docker part. Thanks again for the awesome video.
Update: I was using my nabu casa address for the generic cam. I went back and watched the video again, and I need to use my HA IP address not the camera IP.
Yep. It is all internal. Good catch! Glad it helps. I love this project, the dev did a great job.
Thanks for this, helped me a lot, and YES I did get it working.
This was a game-changer. While I don't necessarily have an NVR now, this was something I really wanted to have in my HA instance. Being able to view Wyze cams like Ring, in HA, makes for a great almost-security-system.
Thanks!
Awesome! So glad the video was helpful. I am actually working on setting up some Wyze Cams in a Reolink NVR and setting up Frigate on my server. I'm just struggling to find a place to install the Google Coral chip.
@@ThisSmartHouse Wow! Sounds like you've got much more 💵💵💵💵💵 your spouse allows you to spend on your HA install than me. 😊
I've only got a 2,400 sqft house, a Ring doorbell and 4 Wyze cameras. What's your overall setup like?
Ha! The only reason I have so much cool stuff is because I had to start this RUclips channel to pay for it. 🤣🤣
My wife would kill me if I paid for everything out of pocket.
Right now my camera setup I'm transitioning away from my ring stuff to Wyze, Reolink, and Eufy. But those are the brands I work with heavily so I get a lot of different things from them.
If my neighbors didn't know I did RUclips they probably think I'm a weirdo for how many cameras I have around my house.
That intro!!!! Love it
I am glad you liked it (and noticed it). I had the video done on Monday but I wanted to do something fun for the intro. It took me about a day to learn how to do that level of motion tracking with mocha. It was fun and a new skill!
Great video! Enabling the RECORD_ALL option in the bridge also saves the video streams in 60sec segments to /media/wyze/cam-name which can be accessed through HA's Media/Local Media menu.
Thanks for the info!
Is there a way to limit the amount of storage used, and have it record over again?
@@johnqpublic9074 I don't think so, not without using a separate app.
How do you enable the recording function within the bridge? I don't see any settings in the config tab.
Great Job!!! Thanks!
Thank you! This is awesome. Wish I would have known this before flashing to the rtsp lol
You can use it with the flashed rtsp firmware. You'll just be behind on any new features.
@@ThisSmartHouse I did that already before I found this. I even put that openip firmware on a couple v2 cams. I couldn’t get my battery outdoor cam to work, which is how I found you. This is better than flashing them to rtsp firmware or OpinIP
Please make a follow up video on how to use MQTT and motion detection using this docker on Home Assistant. Thank you!!!
Wow this works great! One question... I'm worried about CPU performance impact (running a RP4/8GB). Is there a way to not include ALL of the cameras on your Wyze account? I have 8 cameras but really only want 3-4 inside HA. Thanks!
Really good video. Is there a way wyze cam integration directions with blue iris can be added here.
It should be pretty easy. You just need to add the RTSP streams to your BlueIris. I will see if I can make a short about it. Good idea.
so i only have the doorbell camera at the moment... setup was fairly simple by following your video... however.... the doorbell image comes in at 90 degrees to the left.... i also notice i'm using a newer version than you are.. the doc does say how to change the rotation..... but maybe i'm not understanding... how exactly do you implement that so the camera would be rotated to the right 90 degrees which would make it upright in portait mode...?
Is there a way to resize the cam's cards on the dashboard ? Thank you.
Great video, and very timely! I just received an email notice from Wyze that they will be making 2FA mandatory in the near future. I recalled having just seen this video that referred to how to set up 2FA for the bridge so I came back for a quick refresh. A big help!
I have a couple of questions:
Do I have to update the verification code in the /config/wyze-bridge/mfa_token.txt file every time I log into my Wyze account and get a new code?
Why does the bridge need to access the Wyze servers if it is operating in LAN mode?
Thanks.
Glad you like the video!
1. I don't think you have to update it each time. Once you use the code it exchanges an OAUTH key that the bridge will keep using. You might have to update it periodically.
2. Because the fallback method is for it to pull a stream from the cloud if it cannot intercept the local stream. I assume I also needs it to find the source of the stream on your local network.
Very cool! Im hoping to setup this either on 'Home Assistant' (I' haven't tried that program yet) or something else via my PI 4. I would like it to run it as a NAS and record Wyze cam video but, idk if the PI cpu could handle all of that. lol. Docker seemed to run good though on it.
Been really enjoying your channel, great video. I have been following Wyze Bridge for a long time as well. I have wanted to Integrate it with Frigate. Is that on your list of videos? I for some reason can't get the docker to run.
So happy you enjoy the channel! I have been meaning to look at Frigate, but haven't had a chance. Which doctor container are you having issues with? The wyse one?
@@ThisSmartHouse its the Frigate container. I have been looking for alternatives to Blue Iris, ideally containerized. Really want motion detection with AI ideally. All the videos I am watching make the setup seem easy but I am just missing something. The log is saying I am missing a config file, but I am at a loss.
This is exactly what I have been looking for to consolidate the proprietary Wyze streams into a standard RTSP server for connecting off-the-shelf viewer apps. My problem is that I got as far as installing Docker for Windows and adding the mrlt8 container, but running it has thrown all types of errors that I am lost to resolve. I have no experience with Linux or containers. Is there an ELI5 somewhere with baby steps for getting the container to work in Docker for Windows?
Great video! I was able to get the video to stream but I'm not getting any audio. I did click "Enable Audio For All Cameras". Is this normal behavior or am I missing something?
Is this still the best way to integrate wise cameras with home assistant?
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you! That is my first super thanks!
If you run docker + this conversion tool on a home PC, how much CPU and RAM is it actually going to use up? seems like it might not be a good choice on a home PC where resources are already taxed.
can you make a video showing h ow to doe the docker version of adding in the wayz bridge onto home assistant?
Great video, thank you. Worked for me.
Is there a way to feed these Wyze feeds to Homekit?
That's great! I am not a HomeKit person (Android) but a quick search looks like there is a project to convert RTSP cameras to HomeKit secure: www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/qmpoku/homekit_secure_video_for_any_rtsp_camera_via/
@@ThisSmartHouse Yes, thanks! I discovered this after I commented here.
Looks like this changed with the June release. anyway that you can refresh?
Hi, one Q, the Wyze cam have a motion sensor, how can I configure to use it?😊
Any advice on adding the camera to blue iris. I am unsure what settings are needed and have not been able to get my camera to stream in blue iris after several different configuration changes.
Does the RTSP stream not work?
How do I get RTSP feeds working? I am trying to get my 6 V3 cams and 2 Pans to work with RTSP as internet goes down often in the part of the world I live in. Nothing happens when I click on the RTSP under the Video Streams but the RTSP Snapshot works fine? I take it I am missing a step in my setup?
Is there a way to have it turn them all on/off at set time of day? I'd like to have all the inside cameras off when I'm home.
Is this a viable solution if I only intend to use battery power and primarily for motion?
Sucks outdoor battery wize cams are not supported.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you have recommendations on what app works with this for basic motion detection? I don't care about AI right now
A couple that come to mind are Motion (Linux) and BlueIris (Windows). I have used both and most recently BlueIris as an NVR.
Hi
do you have video on how to get video from Wyze Cam directly into Blue Iris or you have to go via HA first?
I do not but you just need to copy the RTSP url for the camera and paste it into blue iris. You don't need to go through HA, just have it pull the video from the bridge.
Great video. Although when I attempted to start the Wyze Bridge Docker it never started. I got a log error: [FATAL tini (7)] exec flask failed: Exec format error. Any ideas? I tried looking it up on Homeassistant's website but found nothing. Thanks! Paul
Hi Paul,
That looks like a docker error. Have you tried running the "Hello World" container to make sure your docker environment is working? hub.docker.com/_/hello-world
@@ThisSmartHouse Thanks for your quick reply. I hadn't run the "Hello World" container. I clicked on your link, signed up for an acct. I ran the command line "docker run hello-world" in my home assistant terminal which appeared to work well. But when I tried to start the Wyze Bridge Docker it didn't start. I got the same error. I am clueless. Thanks, Paul
hey man huge fan of your Wyzecam v3 content. quick question. Im unable to flash the official RTSP firmware even though Wyze claims they havent blocked the ability to flash custom firmware. so im leaning towards docker bridge, ive heard of the wyze-mini-hacks project as well. do you have any experience with the mini hacks? im not sure which offers better quality for RTSP. just curious if you have tried it and what you thought about it.
Glad you enjoy the videos!! I haven't heard of that project but I will check it out.
Just for clarification is it best to run home assistant from within docker or to run docker in home assistant? I'd appreciate a clarification pus a review of the pros and cons ...thanks
For most users I would recommend running HAOS on either a dedicated virtual machine or hardware. Then you can install the portainer community add-on and install any docker containers within Home Assistant.
This will let you use add-ons from home assistant and have the flexibility of installing additional docker containers like homebridge.
I feel like this is maximum flexibility with a minimum learning curve.
I am still SOOL, as Wyse is identical in every ay to the Roku cameras, doorbells, floodlights, etc. that you get at Wally's. Any way to do this with the Roku equivalents. I bought the Doorbell ant THEN found out about HA, Love HA for my lightbulbs (FEIT from wally's and some Geeni ones that I can use through Tuya. My cameras are not found. Oh well, as I said SOOL.
I need help,LOL! I have been trying to get my wyze V3 to work. I have watched your straight forward video 5 times and I cannot get the image or stream to pull up. I am not paying for the Wyze subscription, I think I had heard this might be an issue?? I can get a snapshot image but it is from 3 days ago and it will not update. I have been able to produce an image but through scrypted and transfer the rtsp url to generic camera and it works through a card but I can't get docker wyze bridge to work. Any thoughts or chats you can refer me too? Thanks
Hey there, great video. I got everything set up until I tried to integrate the generic camera. It keeps "timing out". I checked http link for the still image in the browser and it works. The rtsp link I copied directly from the camera in web ui. I left the username and password empty (no 2fa). Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey! I used to work for VMware :D
Awesome. I have been a long time user. Got this shirt at a VMUG. I still wear the shirt I bought back at VMWorld 05.
Ha Ha VMware Shirt. Love VMware and virtualisation.
Hi How can I add my Wyze floodlight 3 camera to my fire stick
Does it work with new Wyze OG? New update 4/22/23. ???
Thanks for the video. Very straightforward. I keep getting an authentication error and can’t even get the cameras detected. I’ve tried the API key method (I don’t have 2FA) and I have a simple alphanumeric password.
Is the bridge giving you the error or home assistant?
Where can I get the supervised version of Home assistant ??? Every program I get for my NAS or Linux system its the unsupervised.
tells me port 5000 in use. What port should i use instaed ?
Hey there I was looking for the link you had on the screen but it states it's not working anymore. Is it down for good?
Which one? This one? tshouse.link/wyzebridge
Some of my older links have occasional issues. Just try it again. Or I can give you the full link.
Thank you sir. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you as well!
I cannot get the cameras to work on rtsp. Am I doing something wrong?
This works great when on home network, do the camera's become not available when you are outside your home? My setup is with Nabu Casa, and when I am at home the connection is on the local network, and everything seems to work great. But when I come off the home network when I am at work, the camera's become unavailable.. the stream spins and spins... and on my IOs device it says Media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed, or because the format is not supported.
Everything works the same when away. Home assistant is accessing the cameras locally. But then it will serve you the stream when you are away.
Could it be a bandwidth issue? Your upload speeds?
@@ThisSmartHouse It’s the weirdest thing, if I am not at home, and I try to use the IU, I get nothing on 5G or another Wi-Fi. But the Camera I setup using the Generic Camera RTSP Stream as shown works perfectly! I’ll keep playing around!
For some reason my v3 pros don't stream very reliably to the HA interface but work fine in the Wyze app :(
I have the same experience. I think it is wifi strength. There are a ton of devices in my 2.4ghz range.
What happens if the internet connection drops? I’m looking for a inexpensive, mostly offline option for my van. I have internet, but depending on where I am, it can drop out and I’d still want the cams to work locally.
These cameras are trash without internet connection. RTSP consistently drops out every minute or so and takes another minute to get back online, which I am sure Wyze does by design.
I definitely tell people not to use these as exclusively RTSP cameras. These are great if you want to use the app primarily, but then occasionally view via RTSP.
Do you happen to know how to rotate an image 90 degrees? The doorbell cam is on its side for me.
Nevermind, found it under hidden options
You think that would be a common setting to change. 🤷
@@ThisSmartHouse right? Or just make it automatic if it's the default for it to be on the side
Hello. Nice video. I'm running HA on a Virtual Box VM. I have the Docker Wyze Bridge installed and running. I opened the Web UI and all my cameras were detected. I need to rotate the door bell cameras. I don't know how to implement the configuration. I'm new to all this...
🏠 Home Assistant - Use CAM_OPTIONS and add a new entry for each camera:
- CAM_NAME: Cam Name
AUDIO: true
- CAM_NAME: other cam
AUDIO: true
Here is the setting for rotation: github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge#rotate-video
To set these in the Home Assistant add-on, you just go to Add-ons > Wyze Docker Bridge > Configuration (tab). Then scroll down to the text box and paste the settings in there. Hit save right under it.
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
Great video!! so i installed mine right on my Home Assistant instance using the addon. now everytime it updates i get an error when i try to update it. something about too many calls? if i keep trying over the next few days, it eventually updates. anyone else having this issue?
Have you checked the issues tab on the GitHub? I usually search there when I get a weird issue.
@ThisSmartHouse yes and I even opened an issue and he said because I am running on HA instead of a docker using compose he wasn't sure how to help
whenever i try to save the generic camera setup i get "timeout while loading url" for the stream source and for the still image. any ideas?
What version of HA are you on?
The cards themselves don't update, correct? I have to click on the cards to open the stream to get a live view. Any way to make the cards update periodically? I assumed this was a frequency, but guess not?
You mean the image thumbnail? You have to change a setting, see here: github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge/wiki/Advanced-Option#snapshotstill-images
Set it to something like SNAPSHOT=RTSP30. You set this on tht config tab for the addon if uding home assistant.
@@ThisSmartHouse Thanks. So is there a way to get a live stream on the Dashboard without clicking to open the stream? I see my cameras but they all say "Idle". When I click on them, I get the live stream.
You want video playing live on the dashboard? Might try this: www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/w27dz8/live_play_cameras_cards_on_dashboard/
@@ThisSmartHouse Found the answer there. Can edit card and change to live. Thanks!
I bought a new camera, added the camera to my account with Wyze and it is not just showing up in Wyze bridge. What do I need to do to add the camera? Wyse Cam Pan v3 (it was on sale, I should have got the regular one, this thing tracks everything moving!!!) I did restart the bridge, nothing in the logs says it sees the other camera. Thanks
The Wyze Pan v3 is supported. Did you set up the API key (this is a new option)? Is the camera and the bridge on the same network?
You can turn off the motion tracking. It is a bit much, I agree.
@@ThisSmartHouse cameras and bridge are on same network, I searched how to create an API key and there is one, but I don't know what to do with the key. LOL Should I delete that original key and create a new one?
I am using the cameras to monitor 3D printers and want it on Home Assistant, and I am new to home assistant.
I edited the Yaml file in Wyze bridge and added the API ID and Key, it changed to orange so I guess that means it's working, and after that on the web UI there is now a spot for them, I deleted and created a new key, the one camera shows up, but not the other, BTW they are showing up on the phone app. If I find out what I am doing wrong I will let you know, meanwhile if you think of something, please let me know. Thanks,
@@ThisSmartHouse The solution was easy, we both should have thought of if, especially you. LOL
SOLUTION within the plug in settings I logged out of my Wyze account and back in, the way I did it was change my username to something wrong, saved, then changed the username to the right user name, logged in and all the cameras showed up. I couldn't find how to log out.
Anyhow if anyone else has that issue when it's all working and you buy another camera., just log out of the Wyze account and back in! Thanks again for the help on all of this
I set mine up and it was not booting the service. Did a system restart and it works now :)
That is strange. But you know the first question we ask in IT, Have you restarted?
@@ThisSmartHouse oh 100%! It just never comes to mind when I’m trying to fix MY problems! 😂
Wyze Bridge is great though! Thanks for the video
I am glad you got it sorted! It is really powerful and makes the Wyze cameras that much better.
Any way to stream to VLC on any system?
Just copy and paste the RTSP link into VLC and you should be able to watch the stream. You can find the RTSP stream in the web app for the Wyze Bridge, under each camera.
Is it possible to connect wyze camera without the wyze account?
No. You need the account in order to use the docker bridge.
I need the basic beginner version of this setup
What are you struggling with?
What OS does this run on? What does docker mean?
Docker is a software that lets you run containers on your computer. Think of them as mini virtual machines that run one program. This way you can set up software quickly without having conflicts.
Docker can run on any OS. There is docker desktop on Mac and Windows. But most commonly it is ran on Linux.
any idea how to rotate doorbell camera so its the correct rotation?
You just need to add the option to rotate: github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge#rotate-video
@@ThisSmartHouse im so lost where i need to add it
Are you using the home assistant add on? It is in the configuration tab in the add on.

How strong is your wi-fi? I know it puts a bit of a strain when streaming continuously.
@@ThisSmartHouse i have unifi ap so is seem to by ok
My webui won’t pull any RTSP link. It just doesn’t exist. Can’t clink, can’t copy, nothing. So then I can’t get Generic Camera to connect to anything.

Now I have to see about getting all the goodies working to make these cameras better than using that dreadful Wyze app. Thanks again!
@@kojam1 Can you share how you added Wyze API in the config file? Which config file and what do the config entries look like? The docs mention /config/wyze-bridge/mfa_token.txt but that file doesn't exist yet since I haven't started the add-on because I need this stuff setup first. 😄
What's the Web Ui link?
The default port is 5000 on the WebUI. So it should be x.x.x.x:5000, where x.x.x.x is the IP of your docker host.
I need some help in deleting the docker file. I have has some ghost of wyze bridge still showing up on my MQTT broker. I have deleted the Wyze Docker Bridge Add on
If there are left over records in your MQTT broker then those items probably had the retain flag turned on. I would suggest installing MQTT explorer and connecting to your broker. You can easily delete the left over items from there.
@@ThisSmartHouse Thanks for the quick reply ,my MQTT Broker listing port still show the WYZE traffic {Message 1106 received on wyzebridge/doorbell/motion_tagging at 10:52 PM:}. I have not downloaded MQTT explorer but i don;t think this will fix this ghosr.
Well, I have to eat Crowe. It made it go away still learning MQTT broker. Need to find out more about retaining flags.
MQTT does take some getting used to. Anything that has retain will stay in the database. But you can delete the entry with Explorer.
ugh i just bought the nabu casa subscription now my camera IP's changed and they dont work :|
Those shouldn't impact each other. So you're saying the bridge can no longer see the camera?
I'm a super non-techy and I just have Wyze camera's. Can I still use this?
If you are using home assistant, yes it is very easy to set up. Especially with the new webui. If you wanted to set it up outside of Home Assistant via docker, then it is more involved. Let me know if you run into trouble.
@@ThisSmartHouseThank you for your reply. I don't have home assistant. I just have the Wyze camera's. Actually, I just ordered 2 and will have 1 month free for the subscription. I would love to have a way to discontinue that.
You can install a micro SD card and the camera will record 24/7. You can access that video via the app.
@@ThisSmartHouse Thank you again. I bought the cards but know that if they steal the camera, the cards go with them. I was hoping these could be used with just the camera.
That is true. You can set up Wyze Bridge in Docker. This can run on Windows.
7:11 Animorphs.
CAn i do this without home assistant?
Yes you can. You can run it as a docker container or on a Linux box. Then it would just output the video stream as an rtsp stream.
@@ThisSmartHouse thank you
My cameras keep disconnecting over and over, any idea
Do you have strong Wi-Fi?
@@ThisSmartHouse very strong. But they all disconnect at the same time..
They all disconnect and reconnect at the same time, usually between 10-25 seconds
Not working for me. I see others are having problems saving the config. I hope it gets resolved soon.
Is there a bug in the latest version?
Background music is very hard for hearing impaired people.
Yes, I've gotten that feedback from a couple people and have pretty much eliminated it from all future videos. Thank you for the comment!

No this will run on docker on any system including Windows. github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge
@@ThisSmartHouse SEEMS 'Hugely Complicated'... if not using home assistant, what are you using?
I started by running it on a raspberry Pi with docker but then I moved it to Home Assistant. I don't think you will regret trying home assistant. I do have a video on how to set it up on a Pi.
@@ThisSmartHouse THANK YOU...all I want is 3-4 'outside cameras' that will be viewable from one place.
Yeah. That is the dream. I think I have 5 different camera vendors in my house and that is all I want as well.
What device are you running My Home Assistant on?
I still am running my main home assistant instance on a raspberry pi 4. I do have a thin client that I'm in the process of transferring everything over to. It's the same thin client I featured in that video.
Thank you!
But it’s not really “live” is it?!
Depending on the speed of the device running the bridge it's pretty close to live. That's why I typically leave the on-screen display of the time on my cameras so I can always check and see if there's any desync. I know the thumbnails only update periodically.
OK please dont think I'm Stupid... Can I run this on my computer at home or No... I'm sorry you dont talk about that to much.. I have 25 V3's and 2 V3 Pros and 1 V3 Cam Pan...... I also use Wyze Light bulbs and 2 other Color Bulbs wifi...
Not a stupid question. You can run docker in Windows. Then you would set up the docker container in the same way. This would let you get RTSP for the cameras. If you want to control the bulbs then you need the Home Assistant addon.
helpI ???? lost
What seems to be the problem?
You talk too fast and don't leave content on screen long enough to easily follow.
There is a wonderful feature called speed control and rewind...
THIS VIDEO IS OUT OF DATE. PLEASE REMOVE
Why is out of date? The install process is still correct and the software is mainly the same. The only real change is the addition of the API key.
@@ThisSmartHouse exactly.
That isn't out of date because you don't have to use the API key. It is just the better solution.
@@ThisSmartHouse I don't see where you explain how to get passed the api authentication screen in the ui.
Why is the music so LOAD over you voice. Learn how to mix audio correctly, Save time and dont usr music why do U needed it????????????
This video is almost a year old. I have taken a lot of (more constructive) feedback and removed the background music.
amazing, totally worked for me.
note for you guys who have your Home Assistant set up with a duckdns address: when adding the cameras to the lovelace dashboard, it only worked for me when using the IP address format (e.g., rtsp://192.168.0.255:8554/driveway-camera).
thanks again @this smart house
