Reed, I don’t know how you sleep at night trying to figure out how to get home assistant to open and close that troublesome garage door. I myself feel like Paul, yes Reed I said his name, just so proud of myself to get half of my things working. Fun fact Reed, I told Paul I thought he was going to name his baby Reed, that didn’t go over so good, I mean what did you do to him to make him get so upset like that. Anyway REED, I’m hoping you loose sleep tonight that the Tesla automation didn’t trigger and charge the Tesla. Gotta go, Paul is holding on the other line.😊

Will it work for only one device detection at a time or multiple devices detection at the same time?

Hi fellow, small UA-camr🤣🤣🤣

What colour is this one ?

Hey Reed, beginner here. Do you have hard wired wireless access points in various places in hour attic space? Wondering how you got connectivity to yoir WiFi routers/access points.

Doesn’t this mean you cannot dim the lights

Any idea how to run app with apple TV integration? can't make it working at all :(

You can use the govee API to get it into home assistant and automate, this allowed me to use an aqara temperature sensor attached to my sons crib (the built in one is junk) and turned it on and off if it was above 73 or below 68. Works great, a bit of a pain to get the api setup, but there is some really good documentation for getting it into home assistant.

The light strip cant be shipped to my address 😢😢😢

Fck Evil Corp. I'll never buy their products. Getting a RATGDO.

I wouldn't say SFP makes everything "so much faster". I think it has a little less overhead than Ethernet, which can speed things up marginally (it's common for ethernet to drop speeds by about 5%), but the big reason I like to use the SFP is that is frees up ethernet ports and it makes the uplink obvious.

Hey Reed, could you please share how did you find app IDs..? Having a trouble finding one for Hulu app on Apple TV :(

Hi Reed, how did you get the timer value to parse to home assistant? I can get the shortcut to fire the timer automation, but it will not dynamically update the duration with how long is left. Thanks :)

I'll be a dissenting voice - This is a cloud service. Ring gave it away to build fast market share - it has likely always been their plan to switch to a paid model. And well - cloud infrastructure isn't free for them, why should it be free for their users? Sure they could quad the initial price, and 'include' cloud services for a few years, but that model seems to be mostly dead (think Windows updates). I challenge anyone to setup a centralized notification system for themselves.

My opener stopped working two weeks after installation.......I needed a new main PCB and now, after replacement PCB the built in camera no longer works...so I'm trying to se how to add a 3" PTZ to replace the chainberlain version....any ideas Mr Reed? Also...the camera on these openers are only viewable through the app....(grrrr)

Can you still use the EvilCorp controls exactly the same way after a RATGDO is installed? I'd like to keep everything the way it is but also add the RATGDO...

Cool cool $50,000 garage door opener; Tesla required.

Oh man oh man you have the answer to my prayers Thanks for the awesome simple direct video ! Question#1 would you connect a motion sensor to power the ESP or the LED strip? Question #2 do you sell the 3D print box for the ESP? 😅

In the systems I setup, patch panels are clutch, rack ups, blank plates, side panels, super quiet rack fans, wire management, etc… My house….looks almost exactly like yours, but more equipment, and more messy.

first

After 5 years, my garage/arrival home is working almost perfectly (almost). I still use Geo, but the door will only open if my phone is connected to the car's Bluetooth (not any Bluetooth, the car's Bluetooth MAC address). I've had it set up for almost 5 months, and I believe it's worked every time. So, Geo location turns to Home, confirms Bluetooth, and opens the garage.

I have a Meross MSG100. With HomeKit. I have an issue, it’s not show open or close. But, it’s show ( obstructed) on HomeKit screen. Anyone know how to fix that problem please share. Many thanks. Tran.

Does somebody knows how to change WiFi network without factory reset the defice?

I have a problem idk you can solve! I need a space heater that auto turns on when the temp dips below a certain temp BUT also can schedule it to increase a temp at a certain time? I have a special need kiddo who won’t sleep with blankets but around 3am her room gets colder than the set 72 degrees on the heater she’s also sensitive to lights

What is the reason that switching to that small cable to connect to the sfp modules is faster then the ethernet? I understand it supports fiber but if you were using cat6 and you only get a gig wouldn't it be the same or is the fiber cable still just faster?

your thumbnail is reaction face is shit and annoying, channel blocked

Yeah, nah, messy. Put a small rack up on the wall and run either a duct accross to the network box in the wall. Turn the rack-ears on the switch 90° and mount the switch inside the cable box. If you got keen, opend the plaster and pass cables in a conduit inside the wall. Otherwise, pull all cabling up and out of the wal-box and put into rack on wall up nice and high, out of the way and will be very tidy. As for the use of the DAC cable speeding things up, lol, thats a placebo effect dude. The switch is only a 16-porter and the SFP port is just that, SFP, not SFP+. Still only 1GbE

Talk about elite. Tesla integration? 🤣 My cracked code is with my Subaru Outback Plug-in hybrid (so I’m a double elite too!) Is to hold down the speak button on the steering wheel and say, “Siri, open the garage door.” RATGDO FTW! Granted the Subaru integration with Home Assistant is not nearly as capable.

Can't you use an 8266?

First

This is cool. What I am also interested in is using an ESP32 for motion detection, so it activates when someone comes into a room.

Where can I get the app ids?

I never seen a folder called themes after doing everything you said

I'm stuck at step 1: running ethernet from every room to a central location 🤭

something here doesn't make sense. im not an expert, but how does he just connect, esp. data wire 3.3v to 24v led strip? What about a level shifter?

@reedssmarthome do you know if the ratgdo will work with Aladdin Connect Genie 2128 It has similar connections for for 4 wires two for the wall control and 4 wires that wire to the other two obstruction control ? Recent updates for Aladdin's API no longer works with Home Assistant and I need something to control this thing 😅

I really wish Espresense worked with ESP Home, would love for it to just run on my EP1s without having to have a separate ESP32 in each room.

Thanks for a great video! Why use both Unifi and Reolink camera? why not just one of them?

How do I set up the pin to allow Google home to control the garage door via ratgdo on HA

It’s crazy I have the identical setup (minus the rack!)

No comments from Ally? 😂

Have you connected the cameras and doorbells to the PoE switch first and then the UDM Pro or directly to the UDM Pro?

Great setup Reed. I recently installed the Unifi Dream Router and I'm having issues discovering my TP-Link Kasa switches in Home Assistant. Did you have to change to any settings in Unifi for the Kasa switches you have to make them discoverable? When I input the IP address of the switches in the Home Assistant integration, it says no devices found. When I reconnect the switches to my ISP router then it becomes discoverable in Home Assistant again. Thanks.

Reed must be on Ozempic

Why does someone need a network server rack?

we need a network map/diagram too

Do you happen to have a model number for the in-wall "cabinet" that the builder put in. I am currently doing a renovation project and really need something like that. Thanks for the videos, keep upnthe great work!

I’m so tempted to upgrade to unifi in our home, I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet

I just wanted to mention that even for homes that don't have ethernet everywhere, if they have coax TV cable, you can use those to transmit your network data via mocha adapters. I've got three in my house and they're fantastic. I've got access points thrown at the house that are backhauled from switches that connect to my mocha adapters. There's very little signal loss and it was very easy to set up. I didn't have to run any new lines in the house

I'm in the middle of town and don't even have fiber, lucky! Great video n ubiquiti they have a simple ecosystem for homeowners. Hoping to get my UDM Pro next month
