Have you found a way to lock the geeksmart/geektale door handle manually from the inside without the app?
Great video but you must live in battery hell.

Can you show how to automate samsung smart appliances like washer dryer range chimney fridge with alexa or some other hub?
I have found the best way to automate the garage door to open is using a esp32 device that has wifi. When it connects to Home Assistant through wifi (and for me, the alarm is armed) then it opens the garage door and turns off the alarm. Wifi is great because it has a bit of an extended range and always opens before I get there. With the added advantage of guaranteeing that the car is almost home.
I think Reed has run out of first world problems to solve with his automations! 😂😂😂
I'm the process of building my own smart home and love your videos! One thing that really intrigued me in this video, was your ability to automate the Apple TV to search and play a specific show. I'm looking to do something like this for my grandparents, but with FuboTV, as they have a tough time navigating through the UI's and such. Can you please give me some more insight on how you automated this? Thanks!
All these "conveniently unlock/open" automations don't sit right with me. I won't even turn off my security system based on my location because if for some reason someone has my phone then they could have an easier time getting into my house even if they can't get into my phone. The only way I could imagine having an automatic unlock/open automation is if I could somehow 100% of the time guarantee it was me.
Are the chances that someone will have my phone and know where I live slim? Yeah they are. But still not willing to risk it.
For you Bluetooth headset to Spotify automation, what action do you use to play the playlist? I don’t see play Spotify option in automations. Love this idea!
