Hopefully this gives you some fresh automation ideas for summer! The automations can be applied to any devices, but if you want to check out DREO fans there are links in the description.
1:53 Congrats, you have a French brand.
Cloud control only. Hard NO from me until that goes away. Even HACS integration requires login from the app.
You have a lot of fans.
Fan-tastic?!
Some really great ideas in this video. I bought my first two Dreo fans while watching. Buhbye Dyson! 😂
😂 $2 vent cover on Amazon solves the same problem.
That air fryer is pretty sick. For the theater room you can get smart air registers and it’s not too hard to add a duct or if there’s a closet in there, install a return air vent on the closet door, and put a fan in the ceiling to suck the heat out 😂
You missed a lot of details in this, making it feel more like an ad
I have a bunch of Dreo fans I use in Home Assistant automations. The integration is really nice, I only wish Dreo gave us local device access.
I tried using the discount code and it's not working, can you look into that? I wanted to use it on the A/C unit, it's actually the same model you had in the video. I too live in the AZ (Phoenix east valley) and been trying to find a solution for our hot master bedroom. Now I just need to get the bed sensor to have it turn on and off when we go to bed.
I use a routine to turn my ceiling fan on/off via it's smart switch dependent on room temperature. My neighbors in my 55+ community think I'm a genius. Boy, are they fooled. 🤪 😆😆😆
I love my Dreo fan tower fan. Been using it for two years now.
At this point I wish these devices all support matter
Kinda surprised that Flair hasn't reached out to you. I get it that Dreo has, but Flair needs more attention. It's a good product
In lieu of opening a window, how is an AC unit lowering CO2 levels in the room? That's just not something that naturally happens unless a scrubber of some sort is involved.
How did the pressure mat start the automation?
Can the LEDs on the Dreo be turned off? Darkness is important. Also, for CO2 and a portable AC… That doesn't make sense. You are just cooling the AC. They don't bring in air like an ARV or HRV. That tells me you just need to mimic your AC air path/flow with fans.
This feels very shilly for Dreo my guy
I like the future.
I always find myself at the end of the videos waiting for the dad jokes… 🙂 Keep up the good work!
8:39 I'm confused, why would the CO2 levels drop by turning on the portable AC unit? did I miss something?
Thanks Reed.
Hi, kindly clarify if the Dreo appliances support "local only" or at the very least, has a local connection with home assistant. Whenever you review products or flex an automation I think most of us know if it requires the cloud to make it work or connect to it.
From now on use this template in the description (and video segment) per device:
– Home Assistant integration: <Full Cloud, Full Local, Cloud with local limited [which functions are missing], Cloud + Local>
– Pairing: <Cloud pairing, Direct Local Pairing, Local pairing but requires app, Matter, Zigbee>
– Connection type: <Cloud only, Local only, Cloud + Local, Tuya-based (and if controllable by tuyalocal/localtuya)>
For us, it can be a deal breaker if these require tuya or a websocket connection with the cloud to function.
Damn I’d love that air fryer 👌 I made my oven smart recently as it doesn’t even have a timer, but not that useful as we hardly ever use it.
The main problem with Dreo is that there were no local integrations.
Seems like you'd want the fan on with occupancy no matter what, based on temperature.
It is nice they are developing an official HA integration, nicer than some like evilcorp that actively develop against you, tho it also would have nice to not be cloud dependent. Can you use your influence with them to also provide local control?
however much they paid you for the air fryer segment, it wasnt enough. she sold me, I think I want one now 😂
ngl these fans are so cool. the tower fan is so silent and the one that follows you is also pretty neat. gotta up my fan budget to afford these 😆
