Obviously your shade doesn't have Bluetooth, so why is homey looking for Bluetooth to connect??? I have matter over thread light but homey will only search with Bluetooth...
Homey Pro uses its Bluetooth antenna to make the initial connection to the device (once the device is added, this is no longer necessary, as the device will only communicate over Thread/Wi-Fi).
I am trying to access the Todd Austin channel but getting 403 Forbidden. Please advise.
I was able to access thru ST community post
Thanks for letting me know about the broken link. I will see that it is repaired.
Bro theres no smartthings on iPhone and thats also not smartthings
Google Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.oneconnect&pli=1 iPhone Apple App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/smartthings/id1222822904
Ah bro thats not smartthings and this is an iphone
You must install the SmartThings app on an iPhone or an Android phone to access the SmartThings hub and create routines.
I take it none of this works with the 2024 version of the software?
You can obtain all of the functionality described in this video using the official Custom Edge Driver for the Dome Siren. The driver link can be assessed on the SmartThings community forum or you can access the driver link and installation steps on my website. The Dome Siren install article is a premium article. It and over thirty other articles containing Custom SmartThings Edge driver info and links can be accessed for a onetime subscription of $10. Here is the link to my Dome article is interested: www.budshomeautomation.com/post/how-to-install-smartthings-edge-drivers-for-the-dome-siren
@@BudsSmartHome Much appreciated. This whole thing is confusing and unclear. Do you have a source for a rundown on what Edge does now/will do and how you fit in? Cheers
@@logicalratio - The driver has all the features that I discuss in this video: ua-cam.com/video/qPByat3cFHs/v-deo.htmlsi=LmjIgOWyCwdoR24X&t=36
This has helped me trying to figure out how to get more of those. I found it very useful and thank you for this video
Glad to help!
That is brilliant!
Thanks for commenting! if you use this make sure you change the settings in MyPod to: "Don't read the title before playing." This will disable the Alexa announcement before playing your selected MP3 file.
Awesome work bud!!!
Hey thanks Donny!
I hate oaywalls
I hear you! Paywalls can be a bummer. But here's the thing: running websites and domains isn't exactly free, and it takes a lot of time and effort to research and write all those detailed instructions on finding and downloading SmartThings Edge drivers. If you prefer, you're always welcome to dive into the research yourself. However, for just $10, you get access to over 30 articles that can save you a ton of time and hassle. It's like buying a map instead of wandering around lost! Thanks for understanding.
@@BudsSmartHome If you CREATED the edge driver yourself is one thing. But if you are taking someone elses product that you found and putting it behind a paywall then that is where I have issues. IDK maybe I am old school and just like helping people out. I do as much as i can for people for free unless I need to buy something then I have them pay for whatever they need. I have never charged anybody for my time. And I get that you are making this your job and like I said if you where creating the edge drivers then that would be one thing. That is just my view. We are all allowed to have our own views. Does not make one person right or wrong just different.
@@sciondb7152 - I understand and respect your opinion. Thanks for commenting.
Great Video and Third Reality is top shelf! Only thing I don't agree with is you tout Smart Things and I have found it is the worst of all smart hubs and devices. Got rid of them a while ago and will never go back!
I hear you @Slimhaven1. SmartThings has definitely been challenging over the years. However it is still the king IMO when it comes to compatibility with most smart home brands. At least when compared to the Homey Hub. Homey is continuing to improve but it still has a way to go. I'm curious, to which hub did you migrate?
@@BudsSmartHome Use Home Assistant and Hubitat neither have failed me like Smart Things did. I got so frustrated with Smart Things that I used them as targets for my airgun range. Some things worked well like monitoring washer & dryer but that was about it everything else kept dropping out or would not stay connected to Wifi. Constantly had to reset things.
@@Slimhaven1- Got it. Yes, SmartThings has lost many to both of those hubs. 🙂
Interesting, thanks!
Your Welcome!
Can I put a coat of polyurethane over this ? My seat stains very easily ! Ty for this video !
Yes. Applying polyurethane to a painted surface is a good way to protect the paint. Use a water-based product if you're concerned about color because it won't yellow as much as an oil-based one. Make sure that the paint is fully cured before attempting to add the polyurethane. You can also try the Rust Oleum 280702 American Accents Ultra Cover Gloss Clear: amzn.to/3xgULG4
Every household should have 1
Absolutely Daniel!
That bolt on my 97 Sierra is pretty rusted, do you recall what size it is?
Sorry, I do not recall what size it was
The black clip it’s not factory right?because mine it’s broken and doesn’t have that
I believe it was factory, but I’m not absolutely sure
This seems harder than doing it the correct way lol
It’s very easy and much faster. Did you review any of the comments? One recent viewer posted this 2 months ago: “No doubt the best way to do this. I followed it to the T and it went very smooth in about 30 minutes for both 16 ft doors. Thank you for posting the video.”
Great video helped me fix my old spicket, spot on...
That’s great! Thanks for commenting.
Great instructive video. How have the application(s) held up?
They were good for a couple years, Greg. I then neglected them a few summers and they were oxidized so bad that I ended up getting vinyl paint and repainting them. Sherwin-Williams did a great job matching the color. They recommended paint made specifically for vinyl with good adhesion. They now look great!
Will it work with Hubitat?
Don’t know. I suggest that you inquire on the Tapestry website, link in description. I only tested with SmartThings & Homey Pro.
If you are going to offer the driver, at least be honest and mention that there IS a string attached: that one would have to subscribe mandatorily to your website to get it. I feel this is scammy behavior. I was subscribed to your channel already, but unsubscribing now.
Thank you for your comment, @AdineP. I understand your concerns and regret seeing you unsubscribe. Recently, I introduced a nominal fee to cover the substantial effort involved in researching, writing, and providing links to various SmartThings Edge drivers. This $10 fee grants access to over 30 articles, each offering detailed information. If the fee is a barrier, please note that SmartThings Edge drivers are also available on the SmartThings community website. My Best
Hi Bud, did I get this right, takes approx 45 seconds to detect a person that is at it max range of 21 feet? This doesn’t sound very appealing? Thanks as always for your great info!
Those were the specs given by Tapestry. I agree, not exciting. That’s why I placed it in an intersection where we had to pass by the sensor within close proximity, so that it would trigger on within two seconds or less.
Hello bud thanks for the video, I’m trying how you integrate the set pin into the driver, I’m using the keypad with a zwave router not with smarthing, and I’m able to get almost all notifications function, and some config entry, but I didn’t find how to setup the pincode to the keypad, in zwave alliance documentation for ring is not explained neither. Thanks in advance for helping 😊
Hi Mira. I am not able to furnish you with the information that you seek since you are not using a SmartThings hub and you do not have the settings provided in the custom edge driver. I'll refer you to the ST Developer (hmorsti) community.smartthings.com/u/hmorsti and perhaps he may be able to steer you in the right direction: community.smartthings.com/t/st-edge-driver-for-ring-keypad-2nd-gen/248712?u=buds_smart_home
@@BudsSmartHome thanks for you quick answe, I saw the driver source code for smarthings, ok I saw the pin capture. apparently on my router and with the jeedom domotic system, this feature is not available yet, that's the only missing info and feature for this devices on jeedom. they also manage to make it work on home assistant, so I guess one day jeedom will take care of it...
Great stuff, thank you !
Thanks Joel!
I don't understand the tuya app it doesn't see any of my smartlife devices... And of course no instructions...
I'm not sure how to help other than offer you the information in this following post from the Homey Community: community.homey.app/t/problems-adding-a-tuya-cover/58050
Looks like something i can do if i can just get the new spring🤔
You can do it!
Thank you very much! I have been looking for this for months, thanks to you. I can play music files as background music in one of my devices continuously.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I already did that
You’ve exceeded the 200 device limit?
I'm waiting for my First Alert Z wave smoke/co detector app to be added. All my other devices have apps or will install as generic devices.
Hi Tom. Thanks for commenting. The compatibility list is improving with time. I spoke to the marketing team and they are actively pursuing many new brands. It's encouraging to see the compatible device list growing!
Homey has actual controls for Chromecast where even gooegle doesn't do....
Absolutely!
Congratulations on the work. Unfortunately the project within your link is not available. Is there a possibility to share again so I can experience this wonderful work?
Dan. Very sorry about the broken link. I was not sure to which link you were referring. I checked and updated the link to "TAustin's Edge Driver channel". Is that the link you were trying to access? I have also listed a link to my website with instructions for installing the driver. If you have subscribed to my "Edge Driver Package" you will have access to these instructions. Otherwise, you can sign-up for a onetime fee of $10 for access to over 30 articles that provide edge driver instructions and edge driver channel links.
Awesome video! Very informative and well done. 👍🏻
Hey, thanks Papa Joe!
Have you found that the Jasco / Honeywell and Jasco / UltraPro dimmers don't play well with Homey? Or is there a workaround?
I have not transitioned them to Homey as yet, so I cannot comment. I have my GE/Jasco dimmers connected via the SmartThings hub and I control them in Homey Pro via the "SmartThings 2" app that I installed via the Homey Community Store (HCS). ua-cam.com/video/r_pBOzPRU18/v-deo.html
Quick question. This would rule out people who are renting correct? Such as the lock that I saw. What could someone who rents an apartment utilize to still make the place 'smart' without altering the location?

Thanks as always Bud for your informative videos! Since your video about the Ring keypad last year I now have a simple way for all of my smart home to interact with each other without having to rely on matter (assuming that is that the 'then' function is available in either Alexa or the Google Home...which sometimes it isn't!). This has made a world of difference to things. I.e. using a Smartthings window sensor to activate a VEdge Switch that turns off my Tado thermostat and my extractor fan in my ensuite bathroom. Means that I'm not having to think about wasting energy from the radiator being on or the fan running if the window is open. Total gamechanger really ☺
Thanks for your kind remarks Justin. I'm happy to hear that you're finding the content helpful.
As noted, most of these plastic wipes are temporary dress up. I found the easiest was to do that was to use spray on tire shine...which avoids having the rub it into the crevices. Cheapest is Turtle Wax which is spray and walk away no rub. I did it right after the spring siding wash...and again 3 months later, then again. Eventually you may as well just remove and paint them as dark color plastic dyes will always fade to a powder color.
Thanks for commenting. I eventually needed to remove and paint the shutters on the west side of my home. That is your best option once they fade.
I just did this but after several days the paint is still tacky. Feeling bummed it didn’t work as your project did. Also, I removed the plastic bumper bits using a knife and prying up. Very simple to do and much easier than taping them off.
It is highly likely you are using too much paint with too little time between coats. Also, if you used thinner to clean the seat you did not wait long enough for the thinner to totally evaporate. It is actually better to use rubbing alcohol to remove the dust and let the alcohol completely flash off. I recommend that you put it near a heat source to help the paint cure. Use radiant heat not forced air if you can. Alternately, you could place it in the sun if that is doable. As a last resort you can use lacquer thinner and wipe off the paint, wait until the thinner dries, re-sand the seat and wipe with alcohol, and start again.

Is there a question you'd like to ask?
So this reads the inside temp? If my inside temp is 73 degrees, and my outside temp is 60, how will it do getting the room to a set 66?
No. It reports the room's temperature. The unit works like any thermostat in your home, you set the desired room temperature and the unit will work to achieve and maintain that setting. The unit has three modes, Fan, Cool and Eco. Cool and Eco are Airconditioning Modes. Eco is just more energy efficient. These mode exchange the warm air in the room with air conditioned air. In other words they circulate the room air. The fan mode expels room air to the outside and brings the cooler outside air into the room. Does this answer your question?
Very cool, though is it possible to not have Alexa to announce what link she's about to play
In the settings of your "My Pod" account you are able to select: "Don't read the title before playing." to disable the Alexa announcement before playing your selected MP3 file. 😀
Yikes yeah this is ill advised IMO. Better method is to use pliers to bend out a portion of the track NOT on but maybe a foot below the bend so you can get rollers switched and bend track back to original shape.
Thanks for your comment. The bend using this method is very slight. It easily goes back to the original position. Many have commented that have used this method with no problems or issues.
This is so encouraging. I"m making your DIY applicator, and putting down Milky Spore this weekend. Thank you for sharing.
@moltabocca ~ You’re welcome.
Hi buds, when are you going to do a video on homey and smartthings? Im using ST and I want to know if I can use it with homey without interference and if I can do some Automations that I cannot do on ST.
Did you review this video? Control SmartThings Devices in Homey Pro (No Migration Needed!) ua-cam.com/video/r_pBOzPRU18/v-deo.html Here is my website guide: www.budshomeautomation.com/post/install-the-smartthings2-app-in-homey-pro-using-the-cli-install-method-windows-os
Thats pretty darn cool!!! Gonna be trying this. I hate grubs
Yep. They are nasty 😷
I could NOT this this motion sensor to pair with SmartThings and instead paired it to my Echo Hub that just came out. It's paired NO problems and have setup several routines since. The Sensor reacts FAST and works for my needs and for the LOW price this can't be beat IMO! These also use 2 AAA batteries which are CHEAP and abundant and work GREAT! I will be buying more of these now that my single test unit passed with flying colors!
John-My sensors connected with the SmartThings “Zigbee Motion Sensor” driver from the “SmartThings Driver (Beta)” channel. Here is the channel link if you want to download the driver. api.smartthings.com/invitation-web/accept?id=450930c1-02a6-43d8-adaa-4cbc51027956 I agree. It’s a great and affordable sensor.
Does it work from a dead hub?
Yes, it’ll work from a dead hub. It pulls the back up from the SmartThings cloud.
