  1. Hahaha πŸ€£πŸ˜…, enjoying. Figure I will ensure upstair shutters close at 6pm or below a given temp i.e. smile πŸ˜‚ very cold. This should keep in the heat. Additionally I will do a little esp32 Home projects to close my blinds downstairs, based on similar logic.
    Hopefully your feeling better … Enjoy

  2. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£ Great video Matt!!!

  3. Well done, Mark. More good ideas and advice. I know it’s a bit of fun but I chickened out when it comes to selecting someone. You’re in good company and deservedly so.

  4. hi
    thanks a lot for your videos, learning a lot from them. they are really helpful for beginners like me.

    I followed your tutorial to integrate alexa using hacs on homeassistant.

    kindly clarify the following.

    1. I am not able to import Alexa Smart Plug, it is possible using Hacs alexa integration?

    2. How can I play a live radio station via a url thru echo device using Hacs alexa integration?

    3. How can I play mp3 files stored locally on rasp pi thru echo device using Hacs alexa integration ?

    hoping for your guidance.

    regards
    neha

    Great video with some awesome ideas! Thankfully I’ve implemented these already, but one thing that caught my attention from your video was the Zigbee sockets! I currently have lots of smart plugs, but I’d love to move to smart sockets! Any chance you have a link? I looked for them and couldn’t see them on Amazon πŸ™

  6. Hi friend! I follow you from Barcelona (spain). I love to hear your polite english to improve my english language skills.
    I have a bunch of shellys at home (40 at least), and I have some automations to reduce accidental light turning on, on some auto-off automations, and 4.4kw of solar panels.
    With 3 kids at home its difficult to set up automations that are full useful cause there are very variable casuistry. Regards!

  7. Nice video! It’s been awesome to be part of such a big initiative. I also use Aqara products and they work well and help us save money. #energychallenge

  8. Hi Mark, could you make a video on how you have integrated growatt with home assistant how you use the home assistant energy feature.

    Love seeing the breakdown of energy use (and creation) in your home!

  10. Love it ,please reply me .thanks~

    Great ideas suggested here! Thank you for it! Do you know if the smart wall sockets work with ZHA too or only Z2M?

  12. Mark, informative video. Thanks so much for participating. Looking forward to seeing how much as a community that we can save!

  13. Great video Matt! Maybe a simple automation from forecast solar to tell you when to dry your clothes outside πŸ˜€

  14. Hi Mark! I have recently wanted to do some routines that I cannot do without home assistance! Since 3 months I’m trying to learn and use it but it’s extremely difficult to understand and use it. I have no technology background and I would highly appreciate if you could guide me how to use home assistant personally. I don’t think I can understand how to use it because after days of researching on the internet, I come to one point and then I’m in a fix!!! Again and again and again! Im so tired to go through the hassle of trying to do simple routines. Please help me out!!!

  15. Thanks Mark.

    Thanks for a couple of great ideas. Just added Forecast Solar and based on todays setup it was within 500Wh of the actual generated (I have 3KW north, and a 5kw east/west inverter with 6600KW of panels) so the different layout is acceptable. Will see how tomorrow goes with the estimate
