If me or my wife farts bad enough, I have automation via methane and sound recognition to flash all LIFX lights red for 5 secs. as a warning, the blower fan turns on for 5 minutes to circulate air. More of a novelty.

I'd really like to see an indepth video on the Sofa Baton. I've been looking for something to replace the Logitech Harmony stuff and I just haven't found much that can touch it.

Big Hue fan - after trying a variety of different smart bulbs that never worked 100% of the time - the Hue's are rock solid and don't disappoint!

Wow I feel special in that I had something before Reed did! :) I picked up a couple of the ThirdReality night lights a little while ago, and I think they're a great addition to a HomeAssistant setup. At night time, tying them in with the bed presence sensors built into our bed (SleepNumber) I can have these kick on if we get out of bed while it's overnight and dark to light the way. During the daytime, I use them as a visual indicator of activity over at my elderly mother's home through a slightly more sophisticated HA -> HA webhook setup. If Mom is up and moving around, the light in our house goes on green so that we can see that she's active and not laying in bed.

Added bonus - as you said, they're a Zigbee repeater so it can help your mesh network too. All in all, price/value ratio is solid on that one.

I’m from STL, and there’s a local business owner that makes Posie Pots. She’s a Boeing engineer, and figured out how to make plant pots that keep excess water for when the plants need it. Get Aly one for Christmas!

[dsolomon]

I bought the less expensive SofaBaton and it’s not great. Is the more expensive one significantly better?

[ducuBAR]

The problem with the Roborock vacuum is it uses dust bags. I have the Roborock S7+ with a dust bin that is bag less. I would upgrade but do not want the extra maintenance to change dust bags and search online to buy

[anpc]

Can the plant sensor do the bluetooth tracking for room presence detection, thatd be convenient and good way to put away and handle plants

[Diallo]

I like the variety in this one! Also the small humorous clips are appreciated!

I got a starter kit for phillips hue. Had the hub and 4 bulbs. That was my first purchase and I got it on a super good sale. It was a blessing and a curse. Those have been super solid and not a single issue. It also made me realize how good they are and how expensive they are.

[pixlpionier]

Do you use your Hue lights with the Hue bridge or do you connect them directly to Home Assistant over Zigbee?

[nerdcave]

Great list! Have you ever messed with any smart devices to monitor plumbing issues? Leaks, pipe bursts, floods.

[akikotori]

Wow thanks for this video! Super informative and actually inspirational. Now I have a few home automation projects I can work on. Really exciting stuff!

[danieltanguay]

Always so interesting, fun and great sound ! Thank you for this one !

[valramos]

You had me at the universal remote. Will it work with cable box? (For aging parents)

[hayleyharrison]

Curious if you ever considered the hue colorful downlights? I have them and they’re great

[ender]

How’d you actually buy the pressure mat? And how much was it?

[terryharrigan]

Thanks. Got a few Philips sensors. Waiting on Inovelli presence switches but delayed to March 2025. Did not want to worry about plugging in anything like the Aqara presence sensors and your video reminded me of the Philips sensor I had at my old house. Also, plurged and got 3 of the mats. Been wanting to play with pressure sensors and seemed like a good choice as I did not want to "roll" my own ;)
