Thanks for the tour! A couple notable things…1) i have a 4 year old and 10 month old girls and totally agree that seeing memories of them even months ago can bring a tear to your eye pretty quickly, and 2) i saw you had impractical jokes on for a split second…man i love that show and would give anything if Joe was still on there.

that's great to hear :) and impractical jokers is amazing!!!

question. Can any of these gadgets use Power Over Ethernet for power but still be used under apple home kit? I always wondered about that about smart locks.

not natively. poe isn't a natively supported feature from apple. you might be able to use third party bridges but nothing natively is available currently.

Nice video Adam. Thanks for sharing

create automation when tv is on > light turns on. when tv turns off > light turns off. choose when "an accessory is controlled" in the home app.

Where can I purchase the case for three Apple TV remote?

Looks good. Like your homecam widgets on iphone. Regarding using contact sensor to turn on lights, it sounds incomplete as not every room will have door opened while using. You are just relying on open state to turn on lights and close state for turn off which is not complete. I do not keep open my closet door in the bathroom while I am inside. Same with laundry room, I close the door while I am cleaning the lint of my dryer or vacuuming the room just to avoid it getting scattered into other rooms.

Hey Adam, how do u set up privacy on amazon home automation. I would like to use their speaker to connect my aqara door sensor to let us know which door is open.

don't think that's possible tbh... you might be able to ask alexa if a sensor is open but i don't that's a supported feature

Adam, what do you use to mount your light strips behind the TV?

Hi Adam great video. Is there a 3way smart switch you recommend for Apple Home e?

@@AdamsTechLife 3 way is when a light is controlled by 2 different switches in the same room. I thought Lutron would be good

Does the Lutron Aurora Dimmer Switch work with Home Assistant and is that a way to incorporate it into Apple Home?

Convert to shortcut automations in Apple home are pretty slow unfortunately.

@AdamsTechLife

that's a good idea, but i found it to respond slower than having 2 separate automations but that is a good tip!

I love this idea but hate how slow it is to execute. I only use it in one specific spot at home that doesn’t have to be family or guest friendly and remain intuitive.

Why don’t you set up a home assistant server and use HomeKit as the frontend

@@AdamsTechLife Yes it may sound complicated and setting it up may be a bit challenging, but if you follow some KZread videos then you will wish, why Didn’t I do this before. Also you can connect all the devices even those that aren’t supported in home kit

To make it a bit easier you could setup the aquara button so that 1 click is off and one click is on. The whole bunch of bridges behind the tv looks like a total mess. The Philips tv has ambiance so you dont need the lightstrip. My autistic brain cant handle it , black wires on white things and visa versa. Basically nothings seems clean and covert , not even that homepod stand which still shows the wires, it needs a cover on the front. Maybe just the way the video was shot..
