Video

Love the videos! You have really helped me get an understanding of how everything is put together. Last night ordered a Beelink s12 N100 computer, zigbee antenae, NVMe tool, and poe switch to get started. I have several Lutron Decora light switches, not sure they are zigbee. Any suggestions for Z-Wave antenae? (I think I will probably need one). Currently, they are connecting through a smart things hub. Thanks!

😂😂😂😂the baby ❤

14:03 what are those other camera "options" you referred to?

can you get the doorbell notifications on your phone if you are out of the house and only have the nvr? no paid cloud subscriptions?

He's got that methed out hair style. He should just wax it off man.

The only reason im looking for a single roller is. The S8 cant suck up moist sand. my floors becomes a sandpaper thanks to the dog. Max mode isnt enough.. Dual rollers suck. But most single rollers are almost gone on the internet. 😢

Is it outdoor friendly?

I bought the three of these and they're not very stable and they don't connect everything. My VIve XR will oonly connect at 5Ghz, Netgear has told me I have to live with it after all the money spent on these. I'm really disappointed in Netgear.

*UPDATE - Error flashing via etcher? Use this version of etcher, we found that the latest version has problems: github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.18.11/balenaEtcher-Portable-1.18.11.exe

My clamp is 100a/1v how would I configure that can’t find anything for my clamp thanks

2 years later, still happy with this thing? I'm thinking of getting one to tie into HA. Appreciate your videos, you helped me flash my plugs with tasmota a few years ago.

When trying to flash image with balena etcher I get a "Something went wrong. If it a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupt. The writer process ended unexpectedly."

Can I boot HomeAssistant directly from a USB drive without an internal drive?

Can you post a link to the conversation about why you pin to cmccambridge/mosquitto-unraid:2.0.15?

Can this do ZigBee and Thread at the same time?

OTBR? how to set this up? and thank you for your efforts. Let me find the right direction.

So I'm in SEA region, the most popular brand in here is Tuya, is there any issue with Tuya device support the zigbee? because all i had are Tuya devices with wifi or bluetooth

Just figured this out after 2 weeks: IF YOUR ZIGBEE DONGLE IS NOT CONNECTING TO YOUR HA *make sure* that Home assistant has access to your USB ports.

Oh heck yeah to a ratgdo comparo and overview!

Help Pls can't boot esp12f after flashing it

I hear you on the "wait until it's cooler to install" from a bit west of you in Houston. I've got a reolink doorbell waiting on me to get in the attic, I missed my window for getting up there this spring.

Thank you thank you thank you, I've decided to go zigbee2mqtt and changed my dud Sonos coordinator to the SLZB 06....... after 2 days on and off of reading Git hub post and the like and maybe 10 youtube videos I happened apon yours, I wished id seen yours first, crystal clear cncise and informative. Keep up the great work.

I'd really like to see what the interference is like on the wireless HDMI as well. The one my parents have is extremely noisy to the point it interferes with the wireless on their TV.

Great video as always .. Seems like OG needs to get a handle on things .. Way to many shanagens going on... laughs

Thanks Travis.

can this monitor voltage since it can’t handle the 50 A that I need for my air conditioner condenser? I would like to monitor the voltage of my air conditioning unit I have two issues. The power company can cycle it and the second one is I have GFCI and sometimes that trips the issue with this is when either condition occurs my air conditioner fan runs constantly circulating ambient air. I would like to automate my Nest to shut off the AC fan when power is off on my condenser. I don’t know why HVAC doesn’t monitor that because I would argue that running the fan at high-speed 24 seven uses a lot more power than cycling, the air conditioner in a normal operation. I would also like to be alerted when my GFCI breaker is open so that I know to reset it so that the air conditioner can function normally. I have automation using Google and Alexa to shut off my pool pump when the air conditioner unit is on and turn it back on again when the air conditioner cycles off, but I would also like to make sure that I just save power in general and not just run my fan pointlessly.

Is there a z-wave equivalent to this?

I have this fan switch and I'm having a problem getting it to work because my ceiling fan has one power wire for the fan and the light is there any unit that will be able to allow this to work or do I need to get a fan with a light and fan wire separate?

Why the 06 and not the 06p7 though? It seems like that's an upgrade for 4 bucks more. What's your opinion on it?

I'm unable to boot my esp12f, when using the code burner Tasmota working fine, once soldering it and briding gpio15 to GND the ESP won't boot, Anything else should be done?

Shame they don't make a UK version :(

im sad you did not use a NvME drive :P

I am a new home assistance (HA) user. Which HA hub I should use? Thanks

Could you configure the channel of the device before you bring it in to HA? Would that eliminate needing to delete the folder?

I was running HA as a docker container on the same Pi that I have been running Homebridge. I went ahead and got an HA Green and had already ordered the SLZB06 POE from Ali and it took a while to get here. Got everything up and running now, got Z2MQTT up and devices paired. I have the old deconz ConBee II USB stick that I have plugged into the Pi, can I connect that to my HA Green and use it as a router? The SLZB06 and the HA green are on opposite ends of the house and I wanted a stronger signal in that part of the property. If I can so this, how in the heck do I start?

I also experience the issue, wattage is not accurate at all... same issue with Shelly plug plus

hi is there a way to migrate from a sonoff zigbee dongle E to a SLZB-06 with out repairing all my devises Im using Z2M

Downloading bin file and choosing between Modern vs. Legacy format is a bit confusing for me as to why, best info I could seem to find is that serial flash uses the "modern" format and OTA update uses the "legacy" format?

New to HA, looking to flash a sonoff r2, and I have followed a lot of your tutorials but you threw me a curve at 25:05 when you jump over to the configra?.. where did you go?, it appeared to be another url location but you lost me. Sorry if I was missing something 😵‍💫 Just figured it out. (my mama never accused me of being real smart:)

Please never say "YAML" again.

That was a light review. I was hoping for more. I was wondering what I had missed. I don't have the issues the reviewer did. I have two BC500, and I like them. Their bases are metal. They monitor an area that is always lit. So, even at night they do not go into IR mode. I'll have to try one out in a dark area to see if it has the same issue, but it does not matter for me. Even when I get more to cover the sides and the back, those areas are well lit too. Street lights in front. Street lights and business parking lot lights in the back. Also, my porch light and garage light are like the sun. The feature of the camera that makes it great is the built in people and vehicle detection, and perimeter monitor. I have these cameras set up to monitor my property, the street, and even the neighbors across the street. (Nothing against my neighbors. I was in another neighborhood that had a bunch of crime for a period, and once I started monitoring the street, and lawns across the street, it stopped. Neighbors were happy with me for extending my coverage. So, I do it here as well.) I have perimeter lines set up with people and vehicle detection. It sends notices to my phone. I then have an app on the phone that alerts me once during the day, and continuously at night. During the day, it goes off once, so I can check on package deliveries, or ignore it if I'm busy. At night it goes off constantly to let me know about intruders, usually kids that should be home, walking onto my property. Adjustments are great, and I have almost completely eliminated false positives. Beyond that it has two other selling points. One, it comes with it's own surveillance station camera license. That's worth $55 for an individual license or $41 ea. if bought in an 8 pack. If you count that, and I do, the cost of the camera itself is less. Next, it is NDAA/TAA compliant. I refuse to buy another camera from China. I don't care how cheap or good it is. I will not do it anymore. My camera VLAN is isolated, even with NDAA TAA cameras, but that is to protect the cameras rather than keep them from calling home. Whith Chinese cameras, they could not call home because of the VLAN, but it pisses me off that I have to even think about it. They will all be replaced. China is not our friend. My NAS has multiple Ethernet ports. One is on the Camera VLAN, and the rest are bonded on my data VLAN. So, I still have remote access to the cameras, while they continue to be protected. Updates go through the NAS. No need for them to be exposed. I was looking to migrate to Axis cameras when these came out. I like their performance for intrusion alerts and their low cost. I still plan to look at Axis cameras for license plate recording, and other features. Synology just announced several more cameras. Still not PTZ though.

Such a nice detailed explanation. I like what you did here. Just as it is, no bla-bla-bla ;-) Thanks Digiblur!

Why can't we just have rtsp? 😢 Otherwise I really like this camera. The picture looks awesome.

wow, no RTSP, .. that sucks..

Those Kwikset Locks are the best, I have 2 of them, all Zigbee, battery lasts a while, yeah it can be a little slow, but they have worked flawlessly for years now.

Does this support upload clips & images to FTP when triggered?

i really was hoping he was going to talk about the difference between the two versions, which he did not do.

Would love an update on this if possible. With new cameras

I was hoping for RTSP 😢 Surely at some point efficiency will be good enough to stream on solar power

Looks like ET's head, phone home.
