Top 11 Add-ons & Integrations for Home Assistant | Getting Started or Starting Over

Love your regular, edited videos! I love the live streams too, but these are great.

I love this way better than the live stream, im too busy and cant watch the whole live stream. I hope you update small video of setting up de 1-10 when you re-do start over.👍🏼💪🏼

Thanks for this video. I’m actually in the process of refreshing my HA setup at home, so this video was well timed. Thanks for the Tasmota 9.2 tip as well. I’ll be sure to update those devices. Great to see the latest best way to get add ons integrated as well. Keep up the great work :-)

Hello and thank you for the videos. These I can understand. You explain everything well and provide links to the products that you are talking about and showing in the video. You have really inspired me to revisit my ideas of putting permanent lights on the outside of my house. I also just realized in one of your videos that you’re located in Las Vegas as I am too. This again shows me that it can be done and even here in our desert. I will be continuing to review all your videos and hopefully making purchases soon to start my project, thank you again, Robbie

Great Top 10 (and a half) Doc! As always, some great practical advice and great to see you adding another focused video to the HA mix.

Unbelievable how you guessed many questions I had and replied to them in this video. Thanks!

Can't believe I just discovered your content. Will be digging more into it!

a much better show straight to the point. more shows like this may start coming back on a more frequent basis thanks again

I am changing to home assistant from an ancient 15 year old Java/flash/Global Cache based home automation system. Everything, and I mean everything is totally changed. I am like Rip Van Winkle, as I have been asleep(absent) from home automation for a long time... From that, perspective, your conceptual planning video was immensely helpful as it provides a planning scheme for installation. I am following the emphasis and order of your videos and have found great success. As Paul Hibbert would say... I owe a you Beer (patron donation). I always pay my debts... Thank You Descartes

Watching alot of your videos lately planning my own home assistant and playing around in a virtual machine. This video is super helpful

Great video! Nice to see you are making “real” videos again.

Thanks a tonn. This post couldn't have come at a better time. Was in to install my first home assistant setup.

Thank you Dr. Zzs for share your knowledge !!! Now I have my house fully automated by Hassio, Sonoffs, ESP32 and so on ... more than 120 devices ! I will make a video asap to show you the results.

Excellent video! Did the same thing last year to optimize my HA.

Thanks for great video and it was perfect to follow the steps and worked smoothly.....Great Stuff DrZzs

These videos truly help the broader community so much more than the livestreams

thanks for the video and love the way you present the things.

Thanks for the video! Installed Google Drive Backup and TasmoBackup after watching this and learned about the HA terminal in VS Code and some HACS stuff.
