I’ve been a diy HA guy for >10 years. This is probably the best getting started video I’ve seen. Presenter has a terrific style to covering the material. Very well done!
-
I'm currently at 40 seconds, and I completely agree. I have already hit the like button.
-
Wow!! This is exactly the video that needs to be shown right on top of the result by YouTube when people search for a home assistant. Thanks a ton!!!! EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
-
Not many 1hr long instruction videos that I've sat through on YouTube, I often have to skip around till the presenter gets to the point! You have a great balance of practical explanation, covering enough to get someone off to the races, but not going down and un-necessary rabbit holes! You showed the physical setup/connections of devices, and fast forwarded or skipped the boring parts! Excellent work.
-
Time flies by when you explain something! As always, a great video!
-
Great detail, the standard of all of Chris’s productions. Now, I need to bump up my home automation game.
-
I installed Home Assistant on an F210 thin client computer last night and found your video this morning. You hit it out of the park as a getting started video.
-
Just what I needed to see! I was headed down the hubitat path when I decided to dig into home assistant. One of my smart device groups are a LoRa set of devices and they only have HA integration or just standalone app setups. After watching this, I know I can get HA running on my unused raspberry pi. Simply great video and worth the time to ramp up my knowledge and confidence.
-
Very informative and well structured video. I really appreciate the effort you took to make it happen, thank you!
-
Your method @ 14:00 is incredible! It does simplify everything. Thanks for sharing!
-
One of the most useful video I have ever come across for Home assistant. Actually its an honest effort by you - not like so called popular & young content creators who tries to advertise themselves more but doesn't add value. Thank you really.
-
A wonderful fulsome explanatory video. Thank you so much for the time and effort. I have to learn about containers, podman and how to get the Unifi network controller working there before I can start Home Assistant but this gentle introduction was just what I needed.
-
I really appreciate your very detailed video. Thanks for this video!
-
Thanks for this. Nobody talks about how to setup HA after it’s installed. I’ve been searching for what to do next. This is the only explanation I’ve seen on setting up zigbee and zwave. You got a sub.
-
forgot to mention that your video is a great help and really a pleasure to watch
-
A well paced explanation. Thanks!
-
This is all new to me, I bought a HA yellow and am trying to get all my stuff set up. Your video was very helpful. Thanks for going to the trouble of producing it.
-
Amazing video. You got talent. I've managed to stay until the end of the video. Very easy to understand.
-
Great video! As a newbie this guide is perfect to set up home assistant. Thank you very much!
-
Best tutorial on YouTube, thank you
