New YouTube channel for smart home ideas!

Hey Everyone :wave:

I’ve just started up a new YouTube channel. There’s 9 videos so far, so I’m at a point where I’m starting to get a feel for it, but very much still finding my feet.

I’m making videos so I can give something back to the community, so I’d love any feedback on how I could make it better, more useful, and more entertaining for you!

It’s called Smart Home Ideas, and you can find it here

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated :pray:

Using zones to trigger automations:

Frigate and a Govee wall light for a fancy automation:

And, my latest one, which uses a YAML script to resume Spotify playback after a Google Home announcement:

Hope you enjoy them!
