I've been trying to find a solution so that we can have smart lights in our new home for a few months. I bought an IKEA Jetstrom smart ceiling light, found a local electrician to help me get it powered and then... Failed

In this solo episode, I share an update on what's happening in my smart home. Wifi 7 is great, smart lights are causing me some headaches and I got a few new toys to play with too. Learn more about Automated Home here.

Smart home expert David Webster joins me to talk about smart window treatments. This conversation is beginner-friendly, but David also does a good job of explaining some more advanced concepts in an easy-to-understand wa

Powershades VP Jason Turner joins me for a chat about smart shades and some innovative ideas they're implementing for their clients across the US. You can check them out at powershades.com. Check out my next conversation

We recently moved into a smaller place and as expected, some parts of our smart home went smoothly, while other pieces broke. This is a quick update on things, some plans for the future and a short funny story. Learn mor

I had this conversation with David Webster recently after someone posted on the Automated Home forums asking for feedback on a proposed smart home build for his 6,000-square-foot home. David understands this stuff more t

David Webster joins me again to talk about smart lighting considerations. David is a smart home expert and electrical technician, so he understands things at a very deep level. As someone who is NOT an electrical enginee

I feel like I've climbed a mountain (well, perhaps a small hill) because I finally figured out the issue with not being able to immediately re-trigger the flow to turn the lights on when motion is detected outside our fr

David and I discuss the good and the bad of Homey Pro, what we each think about Home Assistant and David talks about how AI could make smart homes way better very soon. ***Apologies for the out-of-sync audio*** This conv

I probably should have waited to buy some of these during Black Friday, but I picked up some cool new products for my smart home recently. I'll be unboxing these products and getting them setup and going over the coming

I had the pleasure of catching up with David Webster recently to get into the nitty gritty of why it's not necessary to split up your home wifi into separate 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks. David has A LOT of knowledge about s

Thanks to Tim for the comment on my last Youtube video which helped me to get my Aqara lights connected and online in Homey. That was a big help. I was able to get some Homey "flows" going with the motion sensor and thos

I just created a 2.4GHz wifi network in my home and chaos ensued. What I thought was a piece of cake ended up becoming a disaster and now I guess I'm looking down the barrel of a bunch of factory resets and re-adding dev

My hopes of turning my dining room table into one giant "light switch" didn't work out when I learned that the Aqara vibration sensor isn't as sensitive as it would need to be for that idea to work. ...sigh... Oh well, I

I ask why I can't enjoy the full-feature capability of my new Aqara light bulb. Is it a business decision or do I just not understand it? I discuss some recent wins, and some failures and talk about upcoming plans. Get m

Today I got stranded in a shopping mall because of some rain and ended up buying a couple of Aqara products that should work with my Homey Pro. I talk about an Amazon routine that my wife absolutely hated and vetoed in a

Do you think the Sonos CEO should resign or be fired? Lots of people are angry about the app update that rolled out nearly 3 months ago and the CEO of the company has finally issued an apology and shared a timeline for f
