For when you change the temp to preset: warm or preset: cool you could change the lights above the cabinets to change to a warmer or cooler white depending on the temp to let people know that the system has engaged in a change

The extensive Luna presence makes your videos so much better. Two paws up from me

[evansherlock]

Your videos make me want to keep working harder to get my setup even better. I have so many of your videos saved for future projects. Thank you!

When I have people over to the house, and we are handing out it gets warm. It would be cool to setup an automation that would detect more than X number of Bluetooth devices in an area and set Party Mode in the thermostat.

Very interesting, never thought about it being this complicated with wireless sensors. Our new build home is completely wired with KNX and presence detection is not that expensive with a lot of different sensors on the market. And here in Germany we have underfloor heating so the temperature is the same most of the time because it’s very slow to changes. Even if I’m not using any of the sensors or products from your videos - I love watching them and getting inspired for my own home and to build the automations with KNX 😃

HA has a proximity integration I hope to use someday for similar logic - automatic vacation mode and seeing that I'm coming home.

Reed is great and his content is priceless. Love all these HA guys. Keep up the righteously awesome work!!!!

I love the fact that somewhere in the UK Paul Hibbert is watching this video & making his head explode...Home assistant! Home assistant! Home

Another great video Reed. I have the Ecobee thermostat and love it. I do use the room sensors to keep the temp just right. Will go over to Reed's Smart Home to see how you setup yours to see if I can improve my setup. I did not think to use the presence sensors and I think I will make that my next project.

This was amazing lots of thoughtful scenes and automations great job guys

Could you setup a geofence around your house to turn on the AC when you get inside that fence?

[danielbaulig]

The Tesla Custom Integration allows you to read the navigation target and ETA from your Tesla. You can set it up so that when you navigate home and are less than X minutes away, that it will start cooling your home. I have it setup that way myself. Works great!

[MrJgibo]

Very cool idea. My situation is different. I would like my AC to turn on if my Powerwall is full and there is at least 3 extra kwh going to grid. And this is only during the days as I have a free nights electric plan.

[SmartHomeHASHTAGS]

Your videos are just so entertaining and I have to watch them even though thermostats aren't a smart device anyone uses in Australia.

[sallyharris]

I use geofencing on my thermostats. So it will turn the temperature up/down when I am 3 miles from my house. It would be awesome if I could do the room to room detection. I have Sensi Touch 2 thermostats. Have you ever used them?

[nerdcave]

I always wonder the net cost of turning the AC off for extended periods because wouldn't everything in the house warm up too (furniture, rugs, walls, etc), and therefore take a lot more energy to cool everything back down? I notice when my AC is off for long periods and I turn it back on, it runs for longer and more frequent cycles for several hours. Anyway, I could be totally misguided, just something I've been wondering about lately.

Interesting!! This system even can take care of our pets😃

[KleoHoondeboose]

Just finished the vid, thank you Reed for always demystifying the Rube Goldberg machine that is home automation at times and always doing it with style 🫡

[MMG]

Mega like! I dont have air conditioning so for me is unusefoul, but is super interesting what you can do, and I like so much that's a Channel with description and one for instructions. Really handy. Thanx for your work

[jims]

What are the mm wave sensors you have used? Did you say they are only $5 each? Please advise.
