Hey, what's up? Alex here. It's been two months since my last flight, and I've been taking
Take a short break from YouTube and also take time to maintain my smart home business.
Therefore, I now have many videos to explore. The project I would like to show you today
very close to how I want to prepare my own place in the future.
This is the new condominium located in the center. Therefore, now let me give you a
The journey begins immediately, from the very first appearance. Well, here, where I am standing now
It is a living room. We have a TV sofa area, and behind it, there is no dining table. Instead, they
Go for something that can be used, movable, a type of bar table. And behind here is
Balcony. Therefore, let you enjoy the view. Quite nice, with many decorations.
There is a cat living here. And over there, there is a private land prison area.
Alright, that's great. I actually really like the idea of having a private underground prison.
Then here is the kitchen. There is the main door. And here is the room.
Prison area on private land. With a small bean room here. Then let's go further.
Alright, here is a regular bathroom. The bathing area is designated for the cat.
And here is a regular bedroom. So it's used like a study desk.
house officer. Alright, to the right is another ordinary room. Then here is the entrance
To the teacher. On the right, there is another room here. But they closed the entrance door. Then they opened it
Another room here. Use it as a walking space. Then this is the Teacher's bedroom.
And with the small little bean room here that
The owner uses it like a home game room. Then, of course, here we have the bathroom area.
Bathing area. Let's discuss the preparation of the net and camera first, as you will need them
them with or without smart homes. And then we will establish a very important role
in the provision of smart homes. So if you don't have the proper budget, then I always
suggest using Ubiquiti's networking and protection solutions for the camera. So here, we have
G5 TARD ULTRA looking into the private sleeping lobby. We have our first access point.
This is the U7 Pro Max. Some other cameras. We have one in the bedroom that faces
In the kitchen, the bedroom, and a little bit of the balcony. Then there's another one in the kitchen.
Alright, this is obviously looking at the main door. Alright, let me show you what the video doors are.
Alright, move out. Hold with the sound for a moment. Alright, this is the unified door light.
I think this is the first time I've had this type of smart door light.
This is a budget version of the unifi POE. Sales are very similar to those of the POE door light.
This one comes in two colors, black or white, and features a very beautiful, extremely simple design.
If you do not need the second camera that comes from below to view the package's scenery,
Therefore, I will always recommend using this one. I think it's somewhat beautiful.
Great view here, then this is the camera. Alright, let's go back. Alright, down.
hallway, and you will encounter the next Wi-Fi access point, located here, which is capable of activating Wi-Fi
for all the rooms around this area. Then, here's another interesting one. This is
Unifi POE flush door chime. It is mounted overhead, appearing very simple.
Then, of course, all cameras and Wi-Fi access points, doors, doorbells,
Everything has been affected in the DB area. So, this is DB, this is a new point.
So, I have them, the cables managed down below.
Alright, and we have our mini device rack. So, this is from DeskPi. I think this is just
This is my second time showing this. Alright, briefly, what do we have here on the shelf?
So, all the points will come up on the break panel. The break panel will then
Everything is connected to this 2.5G POE Flex link. Then, this link has a direct 10G usage cable.
Proceeding to the UCG fiber. I believe this UCG fiber has already been provided. I don't see any reason not to use it.
Then, here we have Home Assistant Green and Phillips Hue Bridge Pro.
Then, next to me, I have the Home Assistant ZP2 Connect. It can control
Zigbee or Thread network. So, if you have space to access this mini rack within the area,
And if you want something highly useful, you can always consider setting up the DeskPi mini rack.
For me, I'm quite particular about cable management. I love seeing all these devices look so neat and organized.
Useful here. Alright, let's talk about shortcuts. Start with the lights and the links.
So recently, I made a TikTok video to explain the three types of settlements you can
Consider using it. So, for this one, this is what I will always prefer, which is using
Smart lights. So, all the lights you see down there on the other side, okay, all these downward-facing lights, including
A short lamp using a standard E27 bulb inside. Then, you have an LED strip across from it.
Above the area cover. Then, you have a good floor lens with a bypass bulb inside as well.
So, the entire place uses smart lighting. And once again, this is what I like the most because
Smart lights always give you the flexibility to change the atmosphere, mood
Every place thoroughly. And I also mentioned, to achieve a perfect shortcut light solution
Like this, all these lights need to be linked to the connection that will be generated with 24x7.
So here, in this condition, we have tied together all these links with
All different kitchen appliances, refrigerator, beverage dispenser,
Blender, gas, stove, and clothing. Every link you see here
It is a special group or zone within the home. Whenever you send this link,
This means that you are removing the power from the shortcut device.
that the devices will stop working. Therefore, we always want them hidden.
in a place that cannot be reached or sent to by anyone
Because you don't want the shortcut device to stop.
In the perfect shortcut application, you have a tool called Power Repetition.
This is important because it will determine how your lights will behave.
When something happens, it can become a repetition of strength.
So how would you like the lights to behave when something happens?
Therefore, if anything happens regarding the provision,
whether it is a home system, whether it is a device issue, or anything else
You just need to come here to the repetition settings and
Stop it, and then the lights will behave
how ordinary lights would behave.
Actually, it was the homeowner who decided to use
Philips Hue Smart Lighting. When it approaches me,
He kept telling me that he wanted to use Philips Hue.
Lighting and he discussed a very interesting point that I would like to share with
Anda. So, we know that Philips Hue
Lighting is not cheap, but he doesn't mind spending on it.
Invest and spend all these waves of light, or
GU10 bulb, E27 bulb because it is very easy for you
firing them because they are not installed drivers
And you can always bring them to your next home.
Actually, most of the bulbs you see here
Everything has been taken away by the previous owner's friend.
Therefore, for the entire house, we mainly use

Then, in the kitchen, we have another panel.
There is also a panel here for the master bedroom.
what may be used to control anything in the office,
in the bathroom or in your own bedroom.
Bedroom, something like what you see there in a hotel
On the side, you can control anything in the room.
and you can also have a good night vision camera or
Building camera, sleeping camera—everything is provided here.
So what I always suggest is, as long as it is a space, it is a room.
the time you will spend inside
Then you may consider installing panels instead of calls.
For example, a regular bathroom, you won't spend much time there
Inside, just a regular call will do it.
For example, this is a home study room official.
Okay, then with this kind of panel, you will have
A more intuitive understanding of everything that is needed inside.
So, for example, I have a window control,
I can only press down the window.
Okay, then you also have icon controls here.
Moreover, it will be a different kind of light that you want.
So, for example, we have several scenes,
work. So, for example, if I choose work,
Then it will change the color settings here.
Then, you have another one; it is calm.
Therefore, Ohle will become another type of ambient setting.
Then, of course, if you want to send everything,
Press all off. Then, after you press it,
Everything will be sent.
You have the OmniDesk settings here.
We have a dual monitor setup.
We have a docking station.
A very good keyboard.
Okay, this is the SwitchBot CO2 setting.
We have one here.
There is one more inside the bedroom.
Then, my bomb bridge is here.

or a zip closure.
There is no paper at all.
Let me show you a few scenes set by the homeowner.
Okay, so right now it's like a daytime scene.
Okay, let's say I want to transform into a scene location.
Let me close the cover first because it's very difficult to show otherwise.
The brilliance of light when it is so bright.
Okay, let me close the back cover.
Okay, you can see the rear cover descending.
Alright, what you are seeing now is the location scene.
Then, let me change to another scene.
This is

Okay, calm down.
You can see another type of light cover.
Okay, then, of course, the time of day.
This is a daylight cover.
