Smart Home Tour 2024! Over 100 HomeKit and Home Assistant Devices
Welcome to my 2024 Smart Home Tour. I go through my home and show you all the smart devices I use daily in my home. I use Apple HomeKit on the front and Home Assistant on the back to run automations! 🙂

Instead of the Aqara sensors I just made an automation that says whenever the door is unlocked, turn on the light.
Then I set it to auto lock after 1 minute. And then another automation to turn off the lights.
this house in its entirety will drive my paranoid ass nuts. just every one of those switches and smart lightes are essentially a NSA backdoor. tin foil hat doesn’t cut it in this house, you have to wear a hazmat suit in this house 😁
If you still have your Tuya devices, you can make these cloud-free in Home Assistant using the Local Tuya integration.
Was quite a bit of work to set it up but flawless ever since.
A video showing how you make Home Assistent work with Apple front end would be great
Great video mate, just subscribed. I run a home assistant channel too!
You lost me at “my cat food thing on a timer, not connected to home assist or anything is smart home”. That’s like 1980s timer tech
Wires at 10:32 are screaming for a professional, sry, could not ignore it
Great smart home, horrible interior, you really need to spend some money on nicer furniture.
😃😃😃
Can you give me more insight on your hub located in the closet? Where the Mac mini and Mac book is set up. Why is it necessary?
How do you get your Solar Edge inverter into HA?
Hey, interesting stuff, nicely done. And a special shout-out to the cameraman, she must be wonderful.
Well done Gage!
Well done. Need to get the wife on a modern phone! 😀
Does the Duo camera show up as 2 different camera feeds in apple homekit?
those lego sets better not be for investments
Love the video! I just bought a house of my own, and so I’ve been looking for inspiration – thanks for providing some great ideas! Just a quick note, in a few parts of the video, you show the HomeKit pairing barcodes for some of your devices – probably not a big deal, but you might want to blur those out. Keep up the great videos!
Amazing! enjoyed watching it. Thank you for explaining and naming everything so clearly!
Love a good smart home tour!
Ugh your wife is a green bubble 🤖 ! lol jk.
Cool stuff
What are the details of the UPS you are using? Also can you do a video around how you are using ups+ your homeassistant laptop automations that you were saying in this video?
hi! Can you make a video explaining reolink configuration in scrypted? I can only stream on HomeKit, I have an iCloud account with 2TB but I still can’t have recordings on HomeKit. I must be doing something wrong that I can’t figure out.
I would probably trade the Mac out for just an ESP 32, and I believe in Home Assistant you can make an automation which triggers when that goes off-line.
Great video! I will certainly be implementing some of these things in my setup!

Great Vid definitely real world and Love the cat. We’re going to move this year (uk) and will do similar as all Apple Inc watches. Wondering what you can see on the watch in the way of security alerts? Wonder if there is a smart cat flap? Thanks again.
