Home Assistant we will try to explain what you can do with this system

hello everybody my name is alan from sober lab and today will be another video about homa system in this video i will not explain any installation or show an integration basically i will explain what is homo system to true that in my previous video some people start to ask alan what is homa system and how can i use it and why i needed to use homa system it's important this question because i didn't know in the first time then i decided to do this video to try to explain what is home assist and why you want to use it maybe i will miss some information or maybe not explain the way that you expect if you already know a lot of human system sorry i think that's this video is not for you but if you want to learn a little bit more about homer system these videos perfectly in this video try to explain in a way that you can understand why you want to choose from a system and why it's good for your application so if you like this video and want to know a little bit more about it you're going to show in this video but first of all don't forget to leave your like subscribe for the channel and let's do it [Music] as i told in this video not to show how you can do integration but i will go through some steps that you can do and why you can use this homo system first of all what is is homocyst open source application that help you to make your home smart why need to choose from a system consider that if you go for a phillips ecosystem you can use this ecosystem by all the device for philips and will work well and if i go for smart things i can buy all the ecosystem for smart things and will work well as well if i want to go for a different system i can buy that one and will work well with their own ecosystem but it's the point is the key words in their own ecosystem because if you want to integrate a different ecosystem then come the trouble because this ecosystem will work only between themselves but not work well with other system one example you could potentially get a light in the same time that's a light start you can set up uh sony's speakers and that's they will turn on your sonos speaker and both will work well or sometimes you want to do a thermostat that will control it according from some triggers that you put but if you don't have everything for the same ecosystem it means that your system will not work well and then come the home assist that you can set that all your device will work well between themselves and this is the nice idea for home a system so i come here in a home assistant come here in optimization in optimization they show and explain some ways that you can do your automization but why i want to do it i will give some examples either here you can set you can make some condition and some triggers in the same time it means that you can start up that your phone will have the gps and when you are coming home or you arriving home they will resist that you arriving home and that they will check as a condition if you have a light sensor outside or inside your house and say yes it's quite dark this room so then the lamp will start and that you can put a sensor in the door that when you open this door this sensor will then find that you open this door and that they will check if it's dark or not and with and will turn on the light others thinks it's you can track the phone and say that once you arrive in your work i will have a notification my wife will have a notification that's arriving at work and when i leave the work they will send notifications while that i leave the work other thing you can set up for kids as well when they arrive in this school they will know that arriving this school and when they leave the school they will be setting it if you live in the school the same way that you can have as a idea hit in presence detection so you can make some areas that you can define that's at this one let's say your school this one's your work and when arriving these areas or leave these areas you will send some message for someone or at least let you know that it's working the same way as well you can track how many batteries that have each phone or you can track how many steps that they are doing you can do not only the phone but you can do with different device as well if you if you come here optimization you already have some ideas or some informations about it one good thing for the home assistant that you have a community that always can help you with these ideas that you have but let's go for the basis if you go for optimization you have an option to set up a trigger a condition and action the same thing that i told in the previous example our trigger will be open the door or our trigger will be arriving the house our condition will be it's dark yes if it's not dark no then don't turn on the light and the action will be turn on the light or the action will be turn on the fun or the action will be something that you define and you think that is important for your set in your system you could potentially set up in their own ecosystem for each manufacturer yes but once that you started to mix manufacturers you want to have a sensor for one manufacture you want to have another sensor for lighting uh for all the manufacture and you want to have a lump for other manufacturer if you don't have this kind of integration it will not work well within themselves as well you can integrate your alexa device or you can degrade your google a system device and those will make some communication but not necessarily that they need to have a directly communication to this system as well you can have integration when i say that integration you have a large number of device that you can integrate you can integrate with alexa you can integrate with a home system you can integrate with google cast plex smart things z-wave zigbee and that everything will work well other thing zigbee and z-wave as i told not necessarily that all your device needs to be connected through the wi-fi you have a different wavelength if you go for c-wave and zigbee you can have a device that have a low power consumption and that they will transmit all the data in the same way that you need sometimes you have a simple sensor that don't need to transmit so much data these ones will be the best because you can have this device working quite well so in this way they will consume less energy and because they are consuming less energy you can have a battery power device you can have a light sensor with only one or two double a batteries and will work for a year over a year or as well you can have that's a small battery watch battery and they will keep working for a long time this is the difference for these ones as well for the homa system we can have a different integration you can integrate different cameras for the system you can integrate some energy management that you can set up you can measure your current that you're using you can measure how much energy that you're consuming and in this way you know that either that all your devices off is still working as well you can have a smart socket where you can turn on turn off all your device according your needs suppose that you have um humidifier and that's when arriving certain unity they'll turn on the humidifier that's when arriving the low unit they'll turn off everything control for this one and make different integrations also you always can come here examples where you have a lot of different examples that you can use and some of those already made it means that if i come here for low barrier detector and notification for zones if i open here it will give some explanation and here how can i add to the blueprint and this way you have different options and you can have much more you can do different sensors different optimizations and this one will work quite well as well because homa system have a lot of users a lot of those want to share their own system and how they did it so you always have a different option and you can look in the internet and say how can i connect my thermostat with my humidity detector have everything in mind now i will open my home a system where i read set up some informations it's not all there but i only set up some basics only for you have an idea when i tell that home a system you can add some love cards is because you can add this information in my house i have some thermostat that i can check the temperature for my house and the unit as well in this way i can set up this way i can set up that when arriving search and temperature they will turn off all my heating and they will drop when arriving low temperature they will turn on again and go up and let's go down go up going down this one in a range as well because i have different valves for each radiator i can define that only certain rooms that will be turning on the heater and others will be off because i want only the living room and stay at 20 degrees so what's the point to warm up the kitchen the master room and the room tree so only room 2 and the living room will be heating up as well i can define my unity for my rooms if i want to to have a low unit or high unit i can set up it when i arrive my unity in a 54-55 they will turn on my design fire and that cd will drop and they go up and that drop in this range i don't want it to be a correct line because in this way all the time will be on and that side will be over to dry or they will consume too much energy because all the time they zoom in if i start to work the hot iron needs to be hot and the cold air needs to be cold exactly for the water attached for this as i'm recording now the zoomed fire it's off so they start to increase a little bit more you can set up your phone it means that you can measure how many steps that you walk what's the percentage of the battery for your phone or the percentage for the other battery and if they're charging or not as well you can set up some information like temperature today it's 2.8 degrees outside and inside is this temperature if cooled down a little bit more they will do some action or if we start to be too hot do the other action if the unit is too low or too high it will do something else as well because i have different cameras outside my house i can have some detections for movement it means that all my cameras in my sight my garage my front garage and my front door they have no movement if someone come there and walk around my in front of my door they will show not clear or if someone is there and the last time that have any movements that in front of my house was two hours ago it means that no one was before in front of my house i also as i'm using a raspberry pi i can define when i want to hold down my system for this system don't need to be on all the time if my my raspberry pi arrived for 55 degrees my phone will start to work and that they will cool down my razor pie this one because i don't want to have my phone all time on or all time off it's only because i can control it those information can set up your lovely card and you can set up a lots of more you can come here edit dashboard add card and you can add the different ways to do your love card you can define your food plants it means that you can put the cameras or you can put the lights in each iris or demo starting character everything you can set up in a visual way if i close here i reject it when i come here supervisor i can have overview for all the application that i have if you come in add-ons i can install different applications that work in different ways i can install my proxy man check install my database i can install my z-wave application i can install some wiring guard i can install tattooli i can install my zero tier mattel scale and all the others application that will fit for my needs and make my system more working better and more intelligent and then i will ask what's the limit for a homosystem what's in the point that this homo system not work for you i don't know what's this stage basically as many device that he wants to do and as many optimization once you do homa system will help it you can make a different integration can make everything in a way that your house will be as smart as you want you can set up everything the way that you want and then your mind or your creativity will be the limit it means that you can set up anything as long as you want and will be useful for you also because it's a normal host in your own device in your house it's quite protected this reason that sometimes i don't like to host it outside because in this way you lose a little bit control and then you need to open too many parts to have this one externally if you like this video and think that was interesting please don't forget to like if you're like if i forget something or you want to me to add any information or something that you don't agree please leave your comments there in description considering should subscribe for the channel and see you next time bye
