    I've been building my smart home for the past year; now the only missing piece seems to be the Switchbot to automate my old school devices with buttons that need to be pressed. Thanks for the video! So cool!

  • @Jannick-mp7bf
    @Jannick-mp7bf 3 роки тому +12

    Two words: Home Assistant. Since you have a lot different hubs and apps. In my opinion, Home Assistant would be an amazing option to hook everything together into one system and app. Plus it is focused on keeping everything local. So that’s a major advantage as regards your privacy

    Can you please tell me the concealed strip you showed for hiding the lan wires? I have been looking for something to conceal the speaker wires running from my receiver to my speakers along with the HDMI wire

    Nice setup! Have you thought about integrating everything into one hub?

      @@felixkruip It really depends on how much time you want to invest and how much controll you would like to have.
      Smartthings: Is cloudbased - access from anywhere but slow/ not as secure; works with a lot of different devices; big company so probably around for a while; easy to use
      -> tl;dr sleek, easy, think apple
      Home automation: Is local, but cloud integration exists (Pay or a lot of work)- local stuff works even when the Wifi is down fast/secure; works with a lot, for some a community solution is needed; you can automat almost everything the way you want to; very difficult to use some coding required, updates can break stuff easily.
      ->tl;dr customizable, secure, think building and coding your phone
      Hubitat: Is local with cloud options; some powerful automations exist; not super easy to use some tinkering required for more advanced stuff; ugly-ish user interface
      ->tl;dr between the other two, think android
      Thats just a rough breakedown but i hope it helps!
