Happy Automating!

This is way off topic but have you considered doing a introductory video to HA? With Bruh no longer making videos and many of his becoming out of date, I think there is a hole to be filled.

Something along the lines of…

  • Hass.io (ResinOS), Hass.io (HassOS), Hassbian, venv install differences.
  • Platfrom vs. component
  • Using the developer tools tab (template testing, pulling entity_ids and states, etc.)
  • Finding and reading the error log. I am amazed how many people dont seem to be able to filter through the error log to see that their yaml is incorrect at row 88 column 5.

Hey man, @rrubin0 here.
Thanks for what you’re doing with the videos. I know they take a lot of work and time, so on behalf of the community, thank you!! I’ve personally found the docker upgrade video to be helpful.

it’s funny… I have way more ideas than time these days… :slight_smile: But Slowly I will tackle the ideas that keep coming up. I’m hoping to cover some of the stuff I do in my own home more though. I think the folks at The Hook Up, BurnsHA and Dr ZZs have done a good job with the straight up tutorials. I think it would be hard for me to put out stuff that is better than there stuff. But some of those things on your list, I do plan on covering (Error logs, bulbs vs Switches, etc) … that’s the stuff I deal with at my house day to day so it’s just a matter of filming it and putting together the content. :slight_smile: Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing!

Thanks for the kind words @automateit. If you find any of the videos worthwhile, please share on reddit. :slight_smile: Those guys get so mad when you post links to your own videos. Ha ha. But I’m just trying to get the word out on the new channel.

We just need to come up with a secret rotation of sharing each others videos on Reddit. HA!

I have that same issue of more ideas than time, and now less projects get done after having fun doing the video stuff. If I really had my way I’d have some 30 minute videos, hard to pack it all in.

I have to say I agree on the starter videos to get people going on HassOS and stuff but then I’m not really the person to do that either as I’ve only run HassOS for probably a total of 15-20 minutes just to see what it is about.
