-This is the main directory of the Repo. You will find more helpful ReadMe files in the directories as you browse them. Not all but each day I add more. I use a configuration type called split configuration. So my main configuration.yaml file is broken out into many different files located in the directories. Be sure to visit the package directory where practically self contained YAML files exist that you can easily drop into your configurations to be up and running fast with various automations and components. You can also subscribe via RSS to every commit I make in this repo by clicking the Feed icon on the bottom of this page.

-You can definately read more about my voice implimentations in my blog posts (linked below) or on the main repo page. Voice separates the average home from the Smart Home. Once you start teaching your home to talk, tweet or text, you'll be hard pressed to stop.

-I love packages. This will probably become the most used directory in my repo. I love the ability to just drop in a package or disable it just as easily. In fact, there are a few disabled ones right now ready to go when issues are straightened out. All in one place, packages make defining devices, booleans, automations and customizations a snap.

+ +Live collection of plug-and-play Home Assistant packages.

- -Using the APs (3 of them), The house monitors all Connected devices for Online/Offline status and uses '' for presence detection. Any critical device down for more than 5 minutes and an alert is sent out. Circle is a Parental Control device. When a new device is discovered on the network, HA notifies us and also plays a TTS reminder over the speakers to classify in Circle. Most things are Wifi connected but a good gigabit switch is needed for a good foundation. - -

- -The Alexa devices in my house are for automation overrides. They are primarily an input device into Home Assistant. Using HA `Cloud` component, I am able to turn on /off most HA devices even if they don't have native Alexa support. The DOTs are littered around the house, the Tap is for Shower and Garage since it is super portable and the main echo fills the upstairs with Music. Voice input and playing [Whole House Music](https://www.vCloudInfo.com/2017/08/multi-room-audio-for-echo-its-finally.html) are where Echoes excel! The Wand is pool side for quick commands and controlling the music if need be. -

- -Mobile devices are a critical part of my Home Automation. They establish presence in the house and are the basis for many automations. Home? Turn on the lights. Leave? Turn them all off kind of thing. We use [NMAP](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/tree/master/config/device_tracker) for presence detection. -

-The Tablets are for the awesome FloorPlan that you see in the images. We have 2 in the house mounted for quick consumption of all the HA data in a glance. We also leverage them as TTS endpoints. During certain times of the day, TTS is only played on the tablets rather than over the whole house. Other times, Notifications are sent only to the Mobile Devices rather than using speech.

- - -
- -This group of devices is basically for additional presence control. The Nest thermostats and Protects basically run themselves. The thermostat 'away' mode triggers my away scripts which turn items off. The Protects are SOLID [smoke detectors](https://www.vCloudInfo.com/2017/06/psa-check-out-your-smoke-detectors-once.html). They really came in handy during [Irma](https://www.vCloudInfo.com/2017/09/smart-home-lessons-from-hurricane-irma.html). The SleepIQ bed adds to my presence detection. It will notify HA if either side of the bed is occupied. More controls are coming but I use this extensively. The WiThings scale also triggers morning and goodnight routines depending on when I step on it during the day. -

- - -
- -To me, Voice is the coolest part of the smart home. It gives it personality. It's something not just anyone has and helps your house stand apart from the pack. I use the [Amazon Polly TTS](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tts/) component since it sounds the closest to Alexa. This gives a seemless transition from Alexa to Home Assistant responding. Most think it is just one system. The mixer allows TTS to mix right in over Music. The TP-Link Outlet is used to turn off the Mixer and AMP when we do not need it. It's a great inexpensive solution. -
-Turn off all the voice devices when we are not home or in bed.

- - -
- -The Hubs help the home communicate across all the various protocols running in the house. The Hue hubs (I have 2 actually) talk to most of the lights. The Gen 1 handles upstairs and outside and the gen 2 handles everything else. Some lights and switches talk over Zwave to the Wink Hub. The RM Pro talks 433Mhz to my EtekCity outlets. - -

- -Almost all my lights (40+) are white GE Link lights. I bought them early on before Hue came out with inexpensive white A19s. Even Ikea has great lights now. Colored lights are in the front sconces and also used in the living room. The Go lights are specifically for the kids since they are both wireless and also have a button on them making them very tactile for kids. I use the Lightstrips for TV backlighting and also couch accent lighting. -

- -In the Master Bedroom and Bathroom, I have deployed a starter set of 5 Noon Switches. These switches control the toilet light, both vanities and bedroom overhead light. They work on the wall and are also IFTTT compatible. The EtekCity outlets are the most inexpensive ($6) yet reliable outlets out there. I have them deployed all over the house as accent lighting with some rope lights in most of the home's cut outs. -
-When interior light script is triggered, IFTTT is notified to turn off the Bathroom Noon switches.

- -The ESPs while technically not a Hub do bridge the connection to all the windows and door sensors that are hardwired in my house. One set acts as my [DIY alarm system](https://www.vCloudInfo.com/2017/06/building-my-home-alarm-system-hardware.html) while the other act as [DIY Motion Sensors](https://www.vCloudInfo.com/2017/11/yet-another-inexpensive-motion-sensor.html). The Aura system uses Wifi waves to detect motion through walls. It covers the entire house. Scenes are activated via IFTTT/HA integration. When all else fails though, a good recording of a Bull Mastiff is sure to do the trick! -

- -The great outdoors can be automated too! Mainly lights but also the sprinkler system and water supply. The Phyn leak detector was announced in CES. It looks for abnormal flows and if senses them, alerts me and shuts water main. The Teckin SS31 outlets are hooked up to my 12v transformers allowing me to turn the landscaping lights on and off. The LED strips are DIY and the recipe is in the next section. - -

- -Mentioned above, this is one of my favorite projects for the house. The ability to completely change the look of the house on the drop of a dime and on a dime budget is awesome. Read the blog post linked above for all the parts details but here are some automations I love. You can also watch the following Video (https://www.vcloudinfo.com/2018/10/easy-smart-home-gadgets-i-use-for-my.html) - -
-Change the front colors of the LED lights based on holidays. The best part is the LED controller works with HA right out of the box. No fiddling around with it at all. HUGE Plus in my book.

Out TVs are back lit with [Hue Lightstrips](https://amzn.to/2FGbPpL) so we can do some pretty neat effects with automations. We are #CordCutters as well so all out TV is streamed to the Rokus.
