My Ultimate Smart Home Tour 2024!!!

Close everything off no one needs to see in another home or space

Just gloss over the camera over your daughters bed…..

hey steve i was wondering if there was a way to code all the sensors and automatic lights to not turn on during certain days

Hello Steve, Impressive.. How about security? Is there a firewall to avoid outsiders to access all these?

Use computer to control energy use , aging control safety , lighting and telecommunication to all people away , family memory and scanner

Having cameras on the cloud in your kids room is crazy

Are these smart devices are hard wire or wireless. It's very cool. I want to add some smart devide on my home I'm renovation thanks

Ayo whys there multiple cameras in the kids rooms???

wait does your door bell just hang on there like that, what if someone just pull it out they can peep inside your home? won't there be safety issue, do you glue it in or something..

somehow I would feel extremely vulnerable to hacks and scammers. I am handicap and always thought about a smart home other than the security issues.

How is it a good idea to be able to get to your home by stealing your watch? 😉

24:01 Whats that?😂

Definitely to much for normal.. home

Useless

hank you so much

All this tech and security for what..? You’ve just exposed everything you’ve got including your entire family. Rethink it man! Not worth the views.

Why do you love Sony products?

You missed the Lectrofan on your bedside table. Fantastic device. I think it saved my marriage 🙂

I had Vivint 10 years ago and they were decent. Now you can DYI everything easily. At the time it was great but now a days I feel like it’s a waste of money. But hey some people drive expensive cars for no reason so do what is best for you.

Lost me at ring doorbell.

GREAT VIDEO 👏 WELL PUT TOGETHER

You dont need Wifi7 😂

Install security doors that way you can open your doors to people and talk to them through the security door, they have nice ones that don't look like security doors.

Why are you wearing shoes in the house?

White privilege

Nothing is controlled by phone. Everything is manual. Not ultimate smart

Time to get rid of that google nest thermostat
Not future proofing your smart home

It's 4 months old now

Doesnt even use a smart home controller like home-assistant?

Well done

Great video. 🎉❤

Nice setup! I just bought a home and move in next month and this is definitely gonna be a project for me and I’m excited! Thanks for some tips and ideas!

Really nice setup. I have a question and concern. My question is: are you using any centralized software like home assistant to manage all these devices. My concern is the wyze cams in the kids room. I’ve heavily invested in wyze cams since 2017 and still use them but their security is hot garbage. I would highly suggest taking them out of the kids room and switching to a local security camera like amcrest or ubiquiti. Also be careful with the brilliant light switches they’re in the process of going out of business and support has already been cut

Steve, this is great. Can you tell me about the camera mount you use on your metal fence that we see at 00:06 seconds into this video. the clamp setup? Thanks!

We need to get you an eight sleep in that smart bedroom

I’ve learned so much from this channel then Actual school

how did you get aqara and lutron to play together?

wow

I'm curious about your monthly electricity bill.😂

Omg luv the network setup you’ve got. Have to watch that vid next. lol.

Not much about saving energy.

The links – wow! That took some time too. Thanks.

Can you do a video on the Aquarium what’s inside of it? also what tank and size do you have?

Have you got/are you going to get electric window actuators?

Wow cool

I don't think it was wise to show the camera's that's in the bedroom because of certain people on the internet. I also hope those cameras are isolated on your network. People know where you live from seeing the location on the weather display and you showed your live outdoor camera feed, someone that is smart enough could easily track your house.
As It is you already have one creeper in your comments that you have failed to delete trying to get more footage of your kids.

If the sound in the bedroom at night is the problem, why not just pair your TV to Bluetooth headphones and watch the TV?

I love your videos and the idea of smart home . I have one issue that i really think you have an answer that i don't know .
I bought about 20 smart items (bulbs, switches, etc) my problem is that if i want to change different wifi company or even change the wifi i will have to reset 20 items one by one which is Very annoying. Am i doing something wrong ? Or is it because i buy from different companies (some i bought from ali expess )?
I want a selution where i change one and hopa all changed automatically. Thanks

My problem with the switches and displays around the house is that it's completely overkill and unnecessary if your thinking about what a true smart home stands for. When they advertised smart homes a long time ago the point was to control everything from your phone. That thing that you carry around with you all the time or if you lose your phone then your computer because you'll be able to log into your account from a node (computer/laptop) in the house or anywhere you have that device with you.

Automations are fine.

There is such a thing as too many cameras inside the house and too many speakers with microphones inside the house. These things can easily get hacked into and invade your privacy. Keeping cameras to a minimum in specific parts of the house or even just outside the house is more than enough. Alexa, google home etc is overated in my opinion because again control from one place your phone in your pocket. Why would you want multiple speakers with microphones in the house that can easily get hacked into? If you want speakers for music then get bluetooth speakers no microphone included and not attached to wifi. Even if someone taps into the bluetooth speaker you cant hear anything because no microphone.

Wireless charging around the house is fine.

RGB Lights are fine and set the mood at night. (I recommend lyfx or phillips hue for the best colors and contrast in colors)

Most importantly something that people don't talk about ever is firewall security, antivirus hardware, VPN software services, off the network servers for personal information, media storage, backups, UPS systems to have time to shut systems down properly in case of electrical outage.

Guest wifi quick access is another thing I don't hear people talk about. They just give out their main wifi access to anybody?! That's way too trusting!

This is how to go overboard with tech and achieve what exactly ?
You have buttons that replace physical buttons. You have cameras through the house including kids room — When you think your network is safe, you have 5 guys already in and watching every move.
You can print in the bedroom… who else sees this and thinks that this is something missing from their life ?
Blinders controlled by remote as we can't physically pull a cord to turn them on/off anymore.
Motion sensors for lights are ok at night when kids go to bathroom. Sensors in laundry room ? Flick a damn button on and off.. It's not that hard and you did this 40 years ago without breaking any finger.
There's more to judge, unnecessary tech, but i'll stop here
