    I love, love, love your videos. I just wanted to share a little excitement. I was able to successfully integrate my Mitshubishi Split units into HomeKit using the hooks. Today I was able successfully control them via my ecobee thermostat through home kit using automations. When the temp hits 71 on the ecobee the mini split shuts off, when it hits 70 degrees on the ecobee it turns back on to 72 degrees. I too have to have the wife’s approval on my HomeKit stuff. She wants it to JUST WORK so I was limited to very simple automations. This was a big win. Now to let the creative juices flow.

    Interesting to see how you in usa approach the world of smart home control. I see mainly a big bunch of smart devices in the video. In europe we like our homes smart without seeing all those devices so our minimalistic approach (based on the idea of energy control) with the help of smart home control is more based on OEM zigbee drivers and circuit boards that we can connect on high end devices that we hide and don’t see and works like a blanket around us that increases high energy cost.

    This the type of smart home I want to have one day that works well with homekit and my other Apple devices. I got into the ecosystem, not tryna have that debate, after buying my MacBook M2 then months later I bought a new Apple TV model as ours was outdated as well as 2 homepod minis for the stereo effect and me knowing how well Apple devices work together the experience will be amazing. My dads Lenovo desktop is also a little outdated so I want to buy him an iMac. My craziness is justified given how well all these devices work so well together and one day, ONE DAY, I’ll have an amazing smart home to the likes of yours that’ll work well with my entire family’s Apple devices. Funny, we’re an Apple family however don’t use Apple devices and the home we moved into worked better with Android devices; the way things turned out but it is what it is.

    I am moving into a newly built home currently and they have the laundry room set up as the "network closet". When we had the internet guy come out to install a modem they said wifi isn't the best for that room because it's closed off and the signal can't go far. You have your modem and all the smart hubs in your room though. Do you have issues with the hubs connecting to the smart devices (ex. hue hub in a closed room with hue bulbs that are over 75 feet away.)?

      Thanks for watching Julien. I don't really have many thoughts on Ikea one way or another, as I haven't really used any of their products. The only Ikea smart home stuff I've used was the shades and Tradfri hub, and that didn't go too well. Maybe I'll give their new hub a try one day.

    Do you have issues with time based automations? Not sure if it started with iOS/iPadOS 16 but whenever I change a time based automation it doesn’t fire off at the new time. Even if the time is changed it fires off at the original time. Very frustrating
    How did the iPad come on with a motion sensor?

    Great videa Shane, thanks for that! One question about reolink cameras. I saw your video how to get it work with homekit, but I was wondering how you connected everything. Is it from DVR to switch and to NAS where you can use homebridge to get it work with homekit? thanks

    • @ShaneCreates
      @ShaneCreates  Pƙed rokem +1

      Thanks Michael. Personally, I'm using the Reolink NVR, connected to my Network Switch. The NAS (with Homebridge installed) is also connected to the same switch.
      Technically, one could bypass the Reolink NVR and use something like Synology "Surveillance Station" if you have a Synology NAS. I opted to use the Reolink NVR tho just to keep all that processing and storage separate since I use my Synology for a lot of other things.

    Do you ever have any IP addressing issues? I’ve found from time to time, with so many devices on a single router I’ll have addressing conflicts. Basically two or more devices will end up with the same IP address and end up not working. So I’basically ended up assigning static IPs to hundreds of devices just to prevent that.

    Great video, thanks for sharing. Is it possible to create an automation in HomeKit to turn on and play Apple TV at a particular and then turn it off after a few hours? It doesn't matter what "channel" is played on the TV just want something to play to make it look like someone is home for security purposes. Thanks

    • @ShaneCreates
      @ShaneCreates  Pƙed rokem

      Thanks Robert. It might be possible using time based automations. I think it would be easier with a HomeKit enabled TV that you could turn on and off. For example if you turned on the TV (with HDMI CEC enabled) and left your live tv app open last, it should open up right to that.

    Hi Shane
    Love your channel and your progress with your HomeKit smart home.
    I have a question if you have time to answer?
    In our home we always have the iPhone and iPad chargers connected to the power socket, even though we are not charging any devices. I’m looking for a way to use smart plugs to turn off the chargers when the iPhone or iPad is fully charged. I believe this can be done in HomeAssistant but I do not want to use HA.
    Can this be done by using shortcuts?
    Greetings from Sweden

    Hi Shane, I love your channel, it’s been so helpful in this past year as I’ve created my HomeKit home. I’m curious who service provider. I made the mistake of switching to TMobile’s new Wi-Fi modem and it’s not working with my devices well at all. I currently have an Eero 6 modem and 2 extenders, but since switching to the TMobile Wi-Fi my HomeKit has been going unresponsive and I need a new internet provider. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    I think my biggest thing, is my Garage door linked to my garage lights using APple's Home App. So when the door opens, the garage light turns on, and when the garage door closes, the lights go off. I can lift my wrist and just say "Open Garage" and my garage door opens and the garage lights turn on. The garage is how we come and go normally. Not through the front door. Best of all, it doesn't matter if you use Siri, or you push the button on the wall, or use your normal RF remote. The lights is still linked to the door and works
    So much better than just the weak lights from the opener itself.
    That is an Insane amount of smart stuff being used.
