Alexa, Only It's The Future

I've dragged Alexa kicking and screaming into the future, with some of the best smart home ideas yet, including connecting her to WhatsApp and my phone! In this smart home tour, I’ll show you how I’ve integrated Reolink cameras with Home Assistant to trigger Zignito GU10 outdoor lights based on motion—perfect for anyone wondering how to automate outside lighting. See how I automatically play doorbell footage on my TV, but only if I’m in the room. I'll also demonstrate how I seamlessly continue Netflix on my TV and have Alexa announce WhatsApp messages from Neesha when I’m not in studio mode.

Experience the genius of a 'Red Alert' mode! Plus, explore LCARS-inspired designs from CB-LCARS and Jay (https://github.com/snootched/cb-lcars), and timer-based LED strips (thanks, ‪@AutomateYourLife‬ .

If you’re looking for fun and practical ways to upgrade your smart home, this video has plenty of tips and inspiration you can try out yourself!
