Yet another useful and informative video, Brian. You're putting in a lot of research/effort into this and is shows. I have one comment about multiple hubs. You can use a hub and a handful of sensors to monitor for normal motion in your parents' home or a home that you're watching for a traveling friend or the home of a friend living alone and recovering from surgery or an illness. I think you could set the hub up at your house and go ahead and pair the sensors you'll be using and then be able to quickly set them up somewhere else and just switch the hub to their WiFi. There are a lot of possibilities, But we still have a big duplicates problem with Alexa and that takes managing. Thanks again, Brian.
I'm not sure which video it was but you did show a motion sensor triggered the nest hubs to show video from the door ahead of the doorbell being pressed. I don't see on how to do that myself and wondered if you might be able to provide some insight on where to look to get that to function. I am also in Canada and I'm not sure if that's why I am not seeing the ability because something has not been enabled.

@@AutomateYourLife thank you so much for answering back as quickly as you did. I must have seen it incorrectly cuz I know I have not watched that video yet and I thought it was within one of the other videos. Hopefully one day that ability will be added as I would feel it's quite handy. Keep up the great work with the videos
I need to specifically purchase a Zigbee wall light switch + outlet. I found one from the BSEED brand but I don't know if it is compatible with SmartThings. It just says it works with Smartlife and Tuya. How can I know that?
If you have devices on native apps (ie Tuya, Kasa) and linked with SmartThings, and SmartThings skill 3nabled in Alexa, is there any benefit to having the native app skill enabled in Alexa?
Can I just be annoyed with Samsung SmartThings! You have a really great video you did a really good job teaching. I just want to be annoyed with Samsung SmartThings.😆 by the way is anybody told you you're good kid okay now I'm not upset annoyed at Samsung SmartThings. You have taught me well! If I decide to make some changes I may have to include them. You still are a really good kid. BTW where can hide secret lights.. don't they give their something away when you actually use them. LOL super job keep up the good work
@@AutomateYourLife I believe I went back looked I probably would not be annoyed I think it was the same start I got with Google. I didn't have your good explanation keep me in the right direction.
Brian, I'm not sure I followed you when you disabled groups in Google home. How are you grouping them? Through rooms? Then how are you disabling the rooms? Thanks!
Yeah I wasn't super clear there. There's a few options but I did make it sound a bit too easy. Stick it in a room and change the name of the room to something random or stick it in a room to see the job you have left. I also tend to move them to new locations/homes in the app to gain some separation
Do you have any advice for someone that has been desperately trying to connect the switchbot mini hub to my erro pro router with 3 other repeaters that gives a strong signal all around the house. I have turned off the 5gh antenna and checked the usual suspects like not putting in the right password…tried emailing switchbot tech support nothing seems to work. I have many connected smart devices that work flawlessly….this switchbot mini hub has been a real challenge for me.
Hey Jerry - I'd try dropping a bunch of stuff off your network. It really shouldn't be a problem at all to get that connected so if you're having trouble like this, it's probably not worth much more than that. Then just get SwitchBot to send you a replacement, which I think they'd do. But ya, drop a BUNCH off...just turn all your other stuff off and reboot your eeros and then let's see.

Good ideas there Hugh! You're always coming up with those ways to get out and help someone else, and I love that. Thanks sir!
This another videos are always great. You have a depth of information that helps a lot.

Glad you like them! Thanks!

Sorry Jeremy, that was an Echo Show and that was here: ua-cam.com/video/a59SLU3JVQw/v-deo.html

It's in this video, in a few ways Juan

Sometimes it's a little quicker, because you're not having to go through 2 cloud services (SmartThings, vendor)

You can be annoyed with them if you want! I'm all for it! :)

@@AutomateYourLife yeah, that's what I do, move it to another home.
Cleverer than a velociraptor at Oxford University aren't you Bri

How do I get the things off
Not sure what you're asking
The actual state of things (is on or is off) is always wrong in smartthings ! That pisses me off a lot.
That might happen with a few services but shouldn't happen all the time. Something is off about that if that's happening to you lots
@@AutomateYourLife well even kasa is wrong most of the times ! Just hue is allwsys wright.
Can you please provide the direct link for the list of what Smartlife/Tuya devices work with Aeotec/SmartThings
Yep! Sorry! aeotec.com/smartthings/compatibility/ and www.smartthings.com/products-list
It's in the description of the video now too.
I couldn't hear anything after ab 5 minutes its like the volume went muted lol
Hey Sonya - I think that's on your side! I checked the video and everything is good on this side.
Works for me.. just completed the whole video
