I 100% agree with you. My home automations and shortcuts works seamlessly together and meeting not just my needs but the family needs. I see a smart home as one that works automatically without you having to touch anything
same feeling here. sometimes fiddle around with new tech and troubleshoot stuff at home is a bit too much , and having a reliable time based automation that will always work is really satisfy then
Great video Delyn! I know that feeling haha. Sometimes I need to just step back and let it be. Stoked for your future videos. Would love to stay up to date with how you're updating your setup in your home and would love to know what you're looking forward to in the smart home space.
This resonates with me. For me, constantly changing automations or always upgrading devices even when current ones are working fine defeats the purpose of home automation, which ultimately should be all about one over-arching theme: set it and forget it. When considering home automation, I ask myself one question: is there anything I do repetitively at home that I prefer not to do and would like to happen automatically (for example, turning lights on and off, setting my thermostat, opening and closing window coverings, locking and unlocking my front door, etc)? If the answer is yes, I obtain the necessary smart device or devices (budget permitting), set them up, and then create the automation(s). Usually I have to make a few adjustments in subsequent days, but once I have everything just how I want it, I'm done and only put in any additional time or effort to fix any unforseen malfunctions or unwanted behavior, or to reset or replace a device that has become unreliable. Home routines for most people don't change much over long periods, so once a person has a complete list of the repetitive tasks that are performed at home (cooking dinner, family time in the living room, putting kids to bed, waking up and getting ready, etc) then it's possible to create a complete list of corresponding automations, that, once set up, shouldn't need any further attention until they (inevitably on occassion) malfunction. This is what I have done with my smart home, and I am fully satisfied.
Very true. The whole point is to make your life MORE convenient, not less convenient by constantly adding mental load! great perspective and thanks for the support!
I'm almost at that point with my smart home. There are some things I still want to do, but I'm at a point where I'm in no rush to do them. Our smart home as it is currently, works, and it works well for all of us.
I think these days, it’s easier and more affordable than it’s ever been to set up a smart home. My hope on this channel is to bring value by showcasing how easy it is with tutorials, tips and tricks to build one! Matter is one major step in the right direction (if it ever works properly)

Exactly! Then something breaks and there I am again tweaking 😂

Love that. That’s the whole point! Ease and luxury
Good luck on the weekly challenge. Good content
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Weekly videos are tough to keep up with but that does seem like a good way to grow
It’s gonna be a challenge but hoping it pushes me creatively to make content that is enjoyable in the long run!
Nice video :)
Thank you!
🤔 Not everyone can just set up a smart home. Hopefully matter smart devices will solve that problem for 2024
