It's Incredible how far you've come from humble beginnings from an old house to a built from the ground up smarthome. It's Incredible ❤🏡

For the NFC switchplate tags, you could set the screws vertical for switches with a tag, and tighten them to horizontal for switch plates without an NFC tag. Doesn’t help you remember what each NFC tag does, but it’s a very unobtrusive way to identify where they are.

I had the same cold water issue in my home. Game changer was having a recirculation pump installed which keeps warm water flowing through the pipes. I connected the pump to a smart plug and have automated it with Home Assistant to only run when we're home and during times we are likely to use the shower or faucets. Highly recommend for water savings 👌

Love the vids. Keep it up!!! ❤️

This video made me feel like I'm living in 1970

Great job. I don't know how you find all of the time in the day to not only manage a family of 5, but also your smart home infrastructure. Well done.

[melissah]

Absolutely incredible. I just bought my first house and finally put in some smart switches. Such a game changer!! Can't wait to make more customizations and really make it my own.

[Norentis]

Was thinking of integrating smart technology to my future home that I am planning on building. Never thought the options are this vast. I came for the ideas, I stayed for your awesome and entertaining way you present your video. Simply a nice guy. Thanks for the ideas and a wonderful video.

Get so many ideas from the tours people record. The Everything Presence One sensor kit seems perfect for multiple projects I have in mind. The foot level lighting in the bathroom and under the bed is perfect for my father when he needs to get up in the middle of the night. He forgets to turn on the light and stumbles into the bathroom. A lot of the things I'm contemplating are focused on making things easier for my dad, who suffers from dementia. So far just using some aqara buttons to let him announce where he needs assistance.

Yes OMMGG, I am so excited to see more content of yours. The whole smart home tour is the best series of yours. Thanks for being the smart home solver 😀

Since moving and getting into HA you now have a real Smart Home and not a bunch of gadgets. Looking good!

[SumanDebnathProfessional]

You're my go to person to check for smarthome ideas. I just started. Have a bunch of bulbs, sensors, light strips, plugs, and buttons. This is so fun. I always wanted to make my home smart when I was a kid, and I'm finally living that dream now. Everything is so cool.

[jamesmonahan]

I thought I had a lot of items in my home but you take the cake. Thank you for sharing, it helps to inspire me to try different things to make life a little better and more enjoyable.

[myHomeKithome]

Absolutely incredible! I really like the vibration sensor on the piano and the NFC tag that pauses doorbell notifications. I need to step it up!

[drjablow]

Reed, use a luminance sensor to control the shades. I use one, if over 500 lux close the shade. I use a helper to disable the automation if I’m going in/out.

[yhgmwtw]

That button for the robot vacuum to clean specifically that room is awesome! I'm going to steal that.

[richardq]

Dude your home is something to aspire for. Currently in my first home however whenever i decide to build my own home i am definitely going all out with a smart home and literally everything you have is what i would do!

[movingloz]

Omg 😮 you’re a legend. Hitting the cabinet and having that vibration sensor turn things on is awesome. Fonzie from Happy Days sorta stuff. I luv it. Haha.

[davidunderwood]

Hi Reed. I’ve been watching your home automation videos for a long time now. Loved this one - I just bought a house in east Mesa and am excited to try some of the same things you’ve implemented in your house. Can you let me know what contractor you used for the outdoor screen setup? It looks like they did a great job and I love how enclosed they were able to make your patio. Thank you!
