00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,319
I spent the better part of two years renovating my house into the ultimate

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,880
Tech house and while the super fast 10 gig networking ball and Wi-Fi and custom

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:18,119
theater room are freaking awesome there's a couple of things

4
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:19,680
that didn't exactly go according to plan

5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:24,279
you see it wouldn't be much of an ultimate Tech house if it wasn't smart

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,960
and as a father of three the first thing that came to mind was automatic lights

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:36,879
so like any sane person would I installed over 100 GE Jasco smart motion

8
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:41,520
switches only to discover that they were so buggy that they've rendered my entire

9
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:46,800
Z-Wave smart home network pretty much inoperable not very smart which maybe

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:53,719
wouldn't be so bad if even the dumb functionality like the integrated motion

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,879
sensors worked freaking half decent come

12
00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:01,879
on hello luckily for me inavi another Smart

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,439
Switch company heard my cries and decided to design a Smart Switch that

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,080
would solve all of my problems using millimeter wave technology which can

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,439
detect people even when they aren't moving after raising nearly half a

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:21,320
million dollars on Indiegogo and spending many painful months on R&D I

17
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,720
finally have one in my hands and today sponsored by homie and their homie Pro

18
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,320
Smart Hub we're going to start fresh and we're going to try these out and

19
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:33,720
hopefully see the beginning of the end of my smart at home troubles I really

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,479
hope these work because I don't think my marriage is going to survive another

21
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,520
pool party with the lights turning off every 5 minutes it won't before we get

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,240
too deep into the Cool Tech in these let's talk about the problems that inavi

23
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,439
was trying to solve you guys already saw that the motion sensors are anything but

24
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:54,759
senstive but there's a lot more for starters if you have a three-way switch

25
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,079
so that's two switches controlling the same fixture you can only have a motion

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:02,640
sensor on one of them and then a dummy on the other side which for stairs can

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,039
be a downright safety issue because it'll automatically turn the lights on

28
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:10,080
when you're going one way but not the other this one drives me crazy I like to

29
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,760
have the lights off when I go to bed but I want the motion sensors active in case

30
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:19,800
I need to get up but by the time I can get away from them they activate again

31
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:25,560
and you can't reconfigure that this one's been a real be in my Bonnet my old

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:27,760
switches will only fade on and fade off

33
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,840
which can be quite hard on Smart bulbs and other non- dimmable fixtures

34
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,280
not that they behave much better with dimable bulbs and you can see what I

35
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:42,840
mean here in the gaming room this is one of the ones that still works the worst

36
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:49,120
part though is that they've gummed up my zwave network so much that I can't even

37
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,400
adopt the last 20% or so of the switches

38
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:56,319
and I'm even having issues with non Jasco devices like my baliy wave blinds

39
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,840
the blinds have been a particularly sore spot for me because the switches are way

40
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:04,879
up here and I'm well vertically challenged it's not like I want to

41
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,239
replace my switches we managed to get Jasco to release the firmware for this

42
00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:12,680
product which wasn't previously available Unfortunately they never

43
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:17,040
updated it to fix any of this stuff and when I reached out to a Z-Wave wizard

44
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:23,680
who offered to help me they basically said wow I've never

45
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,680
seen anything this bad

46
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:33,519
before In fairness to Jasco part of the problem is I have so many devices

47
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:38,519
but like it's a smart home that's the idea and besides no amount of firmware

48
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,080
updates is going to fix that infrared motion sensing it's kind of last

49
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:48,680
millennium's technology let's talk about homie and first these new inabi switches

50
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,439
inavi was actually one of the Front Runners when we were sampling options

51
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,519
for the house and they would have been my first choice they've got a sick LED

52
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,760
bar that can help finding switches in the dark show the dimming level and even

53
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,280
be programmed to display alerts and stuff like that they worked flawlessly

54
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:11,560
on our testing the only problem is they didn't have a motion dimmer or any kind

55
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:14,720
of presence detector at the time but now

56
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,160
they do despite many delays this is a

57
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:25,759
complicated product and they wanted to make this work it's finally here let's

58
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,759
try it oh shoot I need a stubby uh LTD

59
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,440
store.com well the switch Works what

60
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,360
that's good so much more responsive well it works like a normal switch which is

61
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:40,680
I'll never take for granted again but I couldn't help noticing that the motion sensing is not working it's not adopted

62
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,759
yet I don't know what the default behavior is and this firmware is like

63
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,639
very Alpha okay let's adopt it just testing to do that I could use my

64
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,080
existing home assistant instance and Z-Wave stick but the problem with that

65
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,120
idea is that I don't have these new inell switches yet I need to rely on

66
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,960
these Jasco ones for a while longer and if I unpair them and start fresh

67
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,639
it is going to be a nightmare so instead I'm turning to our sponsor homie and

68
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,160
we're going to be using the homie Pro to start over for the uninitiated zwave is

69
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:16,639
a wireless low energy smart home communication standard that operates in

70
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,639
the 900 MHz Bend which is great for me

71
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,400
because I need to not interfere with my already also kind of mangled 2.4 GHz

72
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Wi-Fi that's why I didn't want to go with zigg but the homie pro hub can do

73
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:33,960
both without issue so we could try zigg later for now um that was the physical

74
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:42,880
aspect of the setup so let's get it configured let's add a new homie homie

75
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,039
Pro mhm mhm found homie Pro hey look at

76
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,160
that changes color oh it supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi don't

77
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:54,800
take that for granted with smart home stuff okay set up my home how many Flo

78
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,360
does your home have a couple I'm setting up all the zones right now or at least

79
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:03,639
I'm trying that this is seriously like a pretty pretty clean interface well we're

80
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,520
set up the whole process took about 4 minutes now what while we could add that

81
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,639
switch as a generic Z-Wave device there is an inovi app just not officially it's

82
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,400
still kind of in development so I got to just manually add it typically when you

83
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:21,120
add one that has an app it'll pop up and be like you should use the app when you try to add it oh cool that doesn't work

84
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:25,960
yet everything's very Alpha by the way shout out to homie for being absolute

85
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:30,639
homies and working within AI to get this going for us they were literally fixing

86
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:34,680
things for me this morning actual Chads and what's the benefit of

87
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,639
an app it just gives you specific customization stuff and then we go back

88
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,759
to homie and in theory apps boom already

89
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:44,120
there sweet okay now we can add a device

90
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:48,360
now we can add a device we're going to have to go to the switch though let's do it did you add office yet yeah I mean

91
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:54,639
that's the only reason it took me like four or five minutes to do this is because adding on the rooms here we go

92
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:57,240
office and then connect device no belly

93
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,400
this is a smart present sensing dimmer I'm sure they'll have a catchier name

94
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,080
for it at some point yeah uh do I need to press the pair button three times

95
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:09,520
quickly and then do it again again yeah

96
00:07:08,039 --> 00:07:14,800
twice more I mean let do just do it again trust me your house is pretty

97
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:18,840
mangled in the 900 MHz range for whatever reason I think it's pretty

98
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,599
mangled in every range right now and I imagine that switch right next to it

99
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:27,080
it's probably not helping no probably not we might need to move the Hub over

100
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,039
here just to get it to comend you know

101
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,319
that makes sense once you've got a whole bunch of devices paired to it they'll

102
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,800
mesh up and that's not going to be a problem but just to make life simpler

103
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:40,520
for ourselves he told me not to get these GE switches and he takes every

104
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:44,360
possible opportunity to rub it I haven't said it today yeah not today I tried to

105
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,800
get you to get the in ones and have different motion sensors and I

106
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:51,440
understand why you didn't want to do that but also I wanted it all clean and

107
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:54,879
integrated if you could go back would you I think what I would have done is

108
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,440
just left regular switches until inavi developed these but then inavi might

109
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:06,479
have never developed these if I didn't make my video complaining that they didn't exist yeah so I would change

110
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:12,240
nothing you know what's inside there it's actually a raspy compute module

111
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,080
really yeah it's a cm4 oh cool yeah that

112
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,960
means it's good and should actually be really well supported yeah that's a good

113
00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:23,680
sign hey there we go hey look at that device completed

114
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,800
perfect continue setup we are in the office i' already picked that up and

115
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:31,159
then I guess we should just change this to like office switch like this whole

116
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:36,080
thing is so beta still that they only made like 50 of this version and we got

117
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,919
two of them to test out uh I mean it works as a light switch right now let's

118
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:44,240
see if the motion's picking up oh look at that motion alarm

119
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,920
yes oh and cool actually let's see so

120
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:51,160
with the lights all the way on it's 50 wats of power and we should

121
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,360
see the light value the luminance go up in a little bit here

122
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,800
probably let's see oh wow there's even like

123
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:05,120
charts no data obviously cuz we just adopted it I do today no no day yet okay

124
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:09,040
we're paired now which means in theory I should be able to turn it

125
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:13,680
off probably it's a lot smarter than my old ones and it has a bit of a delay on

126
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:15,399
this but I should be able to move oh it

127
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:20,640
definitely disects you oh well for crying out loud okay well how do we make it turn on with motion well I think we'd

128
00:09:18,839 --> 00:09:25,200
have to leave for a bit and then come back

129
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,320
okay oh I can do that I actually I don't

130
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,560
know what the timeout is like they didn't send me a list of parameters it

131
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,320
seems that they match up with their old style switches for the other stuff but

132
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,839
obviously the old style switches don't have a motion sensor cool okay I'm going

133
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,720
to try it's still detecting motion what it still detects us like most smart home

134
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:44,640
things it doesn't update all the time because otherwise it' be way too much

135
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:49,440
traffic so it probably updates like once a minute or something like that all right we'll give it a sec I don't know

136
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,920
maybe we're in the reflection of something right now

137
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,760
oh glass door you know uh okay stuff like this is part of

138
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:02,560
the reason they're not actually going to be using that sensor that's in that

139
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:08,839
switch in the production version there's a new sensor which uses I think 79 GHz

140
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:13,640
instead of 24 GHz in that one and it has a bunch more configuration like you can

141
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:18,760
tell it to only track in a small section of the sensor and stuff like that

142
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,720
actually now is a good time for us to explain this new sensor technology that

143
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,240
they're using the big game changer here is millimeter wave the old ones use

144
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:32,399
passive infrared sensors which measure radiation or heat from things like

145
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:36,279
humans cats Etc the new Switch uses millimeter wave which is named after the

146
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:42,040
wavelength of radio signals in the 3 to 300ish GHz range it uses those to detect

147
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,040
presence and these sensors are so accurate they can easily detect someone

148
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,320
even if they're trying to stay still because just breathing is enough to

149
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,040
trigger them that makes them useful not for just motion and being aware of

150
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:58,959
something that's broadly in the vicinity but exactly how many things are in the

151
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:06,680
vicinity where they are and potentially what doing it's like radar so cool a

152
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:09,480
little big brothery but cool any luck oh

153
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:14,560
I don't think it's working Jake oh no no oh it did work on the other one it

154
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,920
showed on my side that when you walked in that it was on but it wasn't on I

155
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,079
love Alpha Testing should we try the other one they sent two of them who

156
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,800
knows maybe this one's bunk the most important part for me is honestly not

157
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:31,200
the turning on when I go near them I already got that I want them to not turn

158
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:35,000
off when I'm just sitting still in the room while we're waiting why don't we

159
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,959
pair some blinds cuz I was having a heck of a time getting any of those to pair

160
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,320
with home assistant okay I mean realistically are you going to control

161
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:47,920
this area differently than those ones actually maybe yes yeah okay so we'll

162
00:11:44,839 --> 00:11:50,920
call this like the Nook yeah sure okay

163
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,959
um I could put it under kitchen maybe y

164
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,920
new Zone kitchen mil and we'll put it part

165
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:02,959
of lovely connect device let's try it all right oh wait we got to add that the

166
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:04,240
app perfect we can add the app new app I

167
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:09,320
don't know why it opens in a web browser but it seems to work like beautifully so

168
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:13,760
whatever uh Bali there's a new version of my blinds

169
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:17,240
that has Bluetooth that makes them a little easier to configure and stuff it

170
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,720
would have been like you probably missed the cut off by like a couple months nice

171
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:26,120
I had an absolute demon of a time trying to get these things to pair with my

172
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:31,040
setup like they just wouldn't Nook middle

173
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:33,399
blinds I guess okay I mean you're not

174
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:38,519
going to need to address them individually but it would be good to

175
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:46,000
have it set if you did have to do that okay and then I guess this one okay um

176
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:47,199
how I mean I I don't need a I can read

177
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,560
I'm fine I can't believe these are just

178
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:56,079
pairing yeah did you try them before I did but setup like did it work what do

179
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,079
you mean like did you try them with my setup before with no no they don't work

180
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:07,460
yeah I guess that's the issue with a mesh network if it's made up of devices that

181
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,880
are just a mesh get it a mesh a

182
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:16,120
mess anyway the point is Windows are one of the main things you'd want to build

183
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:19,560
automations for because you know Energy Efficiency and stuff like that and I

184
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:25,959
just haven't been able to do it cuz I haven't been able to pair these bloody things to my broken Z-Wave Network this

185
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,360
is great and the homie hub's not even that close anymore now that we've got a

186
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,720
couple light switches paired to it the mesh is happening fortunately homie is

187
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,440
compatible with a ton of other products so if you don't already have Z-Wave

188
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:41,720
blinds in your house you can use something like the rise Smart Shade

189
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:45,320
system which can turn normal blinds into Smart Ones in order to control all these

190
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,519
as a group I'm going to use something called a flow which is what homie calls

191
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:52,720
its automation system I went ahead and created one that says when this flow

192
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,480
started that's something you would just like manually Trigger or trigger with another flow and then set all the

193
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:04,639
positions to 100% which is to open all of them the opposite one close sets them

194
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:11,279
all to 0% and then when we hit go hey there we

195
00:14:08,839 --> 00:14:15,560
go for those that want even more control they also have advanced flows in the web

196
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:19,399
version of the homie app it's still easy to use everything is drag and drop but

197
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,680
it gives you a lot more flexibility for example I made an advanced flow that

198
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:27,399
pulls our subscriber count from the YouTube API that way I can make it so

199
00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:31,040
Linus's home automations only work if the subscriber count goes up that day

200
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:35,120
now we get to try the light switch what do you think Jake motion going to work

201
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:39,920
doesn't seem like it they clearly weren't working are you

202
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,440
kidding me what do you mean they clearly were working they weren't working yeah

203
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:47,519
but we could have checked the thing to see I already did and it detected it

204
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,720
yeah it still says yes as of 20 minutes ago I think there's something in this

205
00:14:49,079 --> 00:14:54,360
room that moves enough that it's triggering

206
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:59,480
still we might have to try it in a different room oh you know what lonus

207
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:06,560
look what's right right in front of the light switch smart thermostat no turn

208
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:08,279
around what the vines no those are fake

209
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:12,079
yeah but they'll move they're not going to move like with the HV fact they might

210
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,440
I reckon we try it in a bathroom or something where like nothing's going on

211
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:21,000
there's a reason they're changing the sensor and there is no tuning parameters

212
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:22,519
right now it will be better credit to

213
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,759
homie though their stuff has worked flawlessly so far I know this actually

214
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:31,240
been great it it wait it just worked it

215
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:33,800
worked it worked it it picked you up

216
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:38,120
from under the door crack well like like I said it's really sensitive and this

217
00:15:36,319 --> 00:15:41,040
light switch is pointed at the door so even like walking over here could be

218
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:48,319
enough of like an air pressure differential to move the door enough to trigger that like it's not a great

219
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:53,399
position to have a millimeter wave sensor you know what I mean but but with

220
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:58,240
the other one we could set no zones for it right yeah over to here would be like

221
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:02,160
detection and then here the door should we try one more different spot with the

222
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,360
other light switch you just want me to zap myself I mean kind of we want to do

223
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:09,680
another demo in the bathroom downstairs so I'm just throwing in one of in's red

224
00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:16,319
series switches so I at least have a working switch in this room it's been driving us crazy while we've been trying

225
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:22,040
to scrapbook yes I scrapbook there's nothing wrong with that in this bathroom

226
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:27,240
there should not be anything that can move so hopefully we can get a good

227
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:31,639
clean demo here I'm actually super excited though that these are so

228
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:37,040
sensitive because that bathroom upstairs man if you sit and you know play mobile

229
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,759
games or read something on the toilet

230
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,720
you're stuck in the dark and I already showed you guys how hard it is to

231
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:47,319
reactivate the motion sensors I have now you're figuring out your business in

232
00:16:45,079 --> 00:16:52,440
the dark until you're all the way up when that happens so this is going to

233
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,519
be awesome with proper presence detection those lights in there draw 25

234
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:01,040
WTS if you're wondering wa no wait they have power monitoring that's pretty cool

235
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,799
they also have light sensors so if it's like really bright in a certain room and you don't want the lights to turn on

236
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:12,079
automatically when it's bright you can set it up to do that how would that work with homie you could say like if it

237
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:15,640
turns on and this is too high then don't

238
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:15,640
sick yeah

239
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:25,720
okay okay it works you hadn't even walked in yet now the question

240
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:29,039
is how sensitive is

241
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,600
it well there's probably a timeout

242
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:34,240
right I don't I don't think it will trigger again until the motion is like

243
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,480
cleared for a little bit and then triggered again knowing in AI I'm sure

244
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,440
there'll be configuration options for that too there just isn't right now or

245
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,919
at least I don't know what they are it still knows I'm in here though right oh

246
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,360
yeah cool why need you walk out for a second and then try it again okay I'll

247
00:17:46,919 --> 00:17:54,280
walk out let's see I'm kind of stoked on how simple homie is it's really simple

248
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:59,000
why did I do the whole home assistant thing again well I don't know hey look

249
00:17:56,159 --> 00:18:02,440
no it's clear okay so it's about a minute run in there again it might be

250
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:08,159
exactly a minute I want to see just how sensitive it is you're going to sneak up

251
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:09,559
on it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah just just

252
00:18:08,159 --> 00:18:15,559
hold on dude the door is going to trigger this a l hold on I'm going to

253
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:19,440
just I don't think it can see me down

254
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:19,440
there ow my finger is

255
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:27,400
stuck okay well yeah oh that's why it

256
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:34,919
couldn't see cuz of the molding dude dude the second I was clear

257
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:38,919
of this occlusion here it was

258
00:18:34,919 --> 00:18:41,720
on I don't think we're going to fool

259
00:18:38,919 --> 00:18:45,000
it it still says motion buddy you're just wasting your time I give up there's

260
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:51,400
no way I'm going to be able to hide from this thing which is a good thing you want a presence detection system to work

261
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:55,080
like this so that's good now you can Doom scroll on the in peace I think

262
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:59,080
the best thing about today is just how painless everything was I'm used to

263
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:05,880
having range issues that I need to sort out with like USB extensions on my zwave

264
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,480
stick but instead the homie Pro just

265
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:13,400
immediately worked cuz I can put it anywhere I want instead of it being stuck in my concrete basement they've

266
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,919
got a ton of different solutions so while the homie Pro is a little on the

267
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:21,039
pricier side for some they also have the homie Bridge which is a much cheaper Hub

268
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:25,200
that can be used as an extension for the homie Pro or can be used Standalone with

269
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,360
their Cloud software in a subscription for myself I just like having everything

270
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,919
running locally and fortunately homie does have that option and doesn't

271
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,840
require subscription for that we'll have links to homie and the rest of the stuff

272
00:19:34,679 --> 00:19:41,200
that we showed off in the video description before we wrap up there's a couple other things we should highlight

273
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,400
from homie their dashboards are in beta they provide a customizable visual

274
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,400
interface to control and monitor your smart home devices there's a high degree

275
00:19:46,159 --> 00:19:52,840
of personalization you can have real-time control and insights into things like temperature energy usage or

276
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:57,000
security status it's available on the homey app for iOS and Android and we

277
00:19:55,679 --> 00:20:00,919
haven't even shown you some of the other really cool features like homie mve

278
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:06,320
they allow you to quickly capture and set the lighting in your home by creating custom moods or choosing from

279
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:11,280
pre-made ones and while Jake showed you guys homie flows there's a whole other

280
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:15,440
level of customization with homie script which I think is more for the Jakes of

281
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:19,640
the world and I probably wouldn't touch what I will touch is those finished

282
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,720
switches and then maybe between now and then we can figure out do I keep home

283
00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:28,760
assistant or do I just go with something simpler I don't know homies seems to

284
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,159
work pretty good and they're homies

285
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:36,679
if you guys enjoyed this video why not check out the one where we originally installed my Jasco switches it was kind

286
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,600
of a nightmare but hey what do you mean it kind of a nightmare we're still

287
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:42,480
living in it sometimes that's fun for you guys
