We need an update! I'd love to see a 2023 version of this video. Thanks for all you do, your videos are on a whole new level! 🚀
-
Brilliant video. I'm so glad you arent afraid to rip through it knowing that people should pause as they go. Soooooooo maaaaaaaanyyyyyy videos run for 20 minutes for 5 mins of content
-
Great content! I have just recently started the Home Assistant/Home Automation adventure, your video's continue to help along the way.
-
More! More! More Home Assistance videos! This one was great and very comprehensive! Thank you for it!
-
Never knew this existed, certainly makes integration and automation so much easier! Previously, I have done things the hard way by creating custom applications and hardware. This really simplifies the interconnectivity side of things. I can say this for sure - I am DAMN glad my parents were never smart enough to do anything like this... I cannot imagine growing up where my every action would not only be monitored, but potentially controlled.
-
Straight up, clear, fast-paced. Loved it!
-
After watching a number of videos to help me get started on this, I must tell you that I enjoy the pace of your guide, the clarity, and the willingness to not explain things multiple times. It's easy enough to replay things. Well done!
-
Perfect timing!!! I just recently started thinking about deploying HA. Thanks for the video.
-
This is absolutely your best video ever. I have been struggling to get HA on a VM for a long time and this pushed me over the "hump". Thanks a bunch!
-
Thanks for the video! We need more HA content that is recent. I am about 3 months into HA and my biggest issue is following outdated information. Even some of the HA documentation and integrations have outdated info.
-
Thanks so much for this video, it's a great starting point for someone like myself who is about to jump head first into home automation. I am currently moving into my new home and bout a Raspberry Pi 3 to use as my Home Assistant hub. Once that arrives it'll be time to slowly add all the smart home products I've been purchasing over the years!
-
Thank you very much for this video tutorial; it got my HA up and running in no time! Your expertise and ability to create an understandable and stepwise procedure were invaluable to me.
-
Thank you for including timestamps
-
Man, you should turn this from a presentation into a (series of) tutorial(s). Lots of work, I agree, but you'll get a Thank You from me. :D
-
Great detail! I was able to setup the VM and start adding DIY Sonoff devices via MQTT in about 1 hour. I look forward to learning more from you! Thank you. Now I need to figure out how to make the VM have a static IP.
-
I'm a new HA soon to be user and I've ENJOYED this content. Not so complicated if I pause n play. Thank you and keep it coming!
-
Well done, perfect for beginners. I would like to see more about accessing Home Assistant from outside my own network.
-
One thing not mentioned when installing MQTT broker is that if you don't turn on advanced mode under your profile first then you will not see users under configuration. I am following the guide to install HA 5.12. So far so good if you keep pausing the video :-)
-
Thanks for the video, quite helpful. I am technical guy with a CS degree from a great school and this is short of overwhelming. I spent two afternoons just getting to the point of having devices running in my VM (HyperV I hate you so much). Thank goodness for videos like this. I cannot imagine this being anything even close to ready for regular consumers. But now I get to finally "play" with automation.
-
Thank you for the videos you make. I am new to Home Assistant and you do a fantastic job and providing the most amount of information in a clear concise way.
