[0:00] Hey guys Matt here from mksmarthouse.com and
in this video I will be showing you what my
[0:04] channel is all about.
[0:11] [Intro]
[0:14] Welcome to my smart home, this is a system
I designed that is a large majority of diy
[0:19] home made smart devices.
[0:21] When I say DIY I mean I designed and coded
most of these devices.
[0:24] But, let me emphasize the “I” part, as
I designed and coded this so YOU do not have
[0:30] to.
[0:31] There is very little brain power involved
on your part if you choose to follow my system,
[0:35] all you would have to do is follow simple
instructions and you too will have a smart
[0:39] home similar to mine.
[0:41] This youtube channel as well as mksmarthouse.com
will be a giant recource full of simple and
[0:47] easy to follow guides on how to make these
devices in addition to how to put this low-cost
[0:53] system together.
[0:54] Yes I did say low-cost because the parts for
these devices do not cost a lot of money.
[0:59] But, enough talking as the explanation part
of this will be a separate video, speaking
[1:03] of if this video reaches 100 likes I will
release it sooner than it is planned.
[1:08] anyways let's just get into the demo!
[1:10] To start off let's talk about voice control,
as of right now I am using the amazon echo
[1:14] dot as well as siri on my iphone and on my
apple watch, in the future I am also looking
[1:19] into voice control on android.
[1:20] That being said before we continue please
make sure that if you have an amazon echo
[1:24] please make sure it is set to mute or else
it may get triggered by my commands.
[1:28] “Alexa, turn off MK Light”
“Alexa, turn on MK Light”
[1:37] “Alexa turn off computer setup”
So, as you saw when I triggered it to turn
[1:46] off my computer setup it turned off my monitors
and it also turned off my USB accessories
[1:51] as well as power to these devices so right
now if I wanted to turn on this printer I
[1:58] can’t.
[1:59] “Alexa turn off TV Setup”
So, as you saw it turned off the tv turned
[2:09] off the sound system and it turned off the
xbox 360
[2:11] Let’s move over here for the next ones
“Alexa turn on Zone 1”
[2:17] “Alexa turn on Zone 2”
“Alexa turn on Zone 3”
[2:26] I don’t know if you heard that but there
were clicks going on and those were the power
[2:32] being distributed more on that later.
[2:35] There are many more commands for the echo
but those are just a few.
[2:38] Next let's move on to siri.
[2:39] So, we are going to be using siri on my apple
watch which is right here.
[2:43] “Hey siri turn on Samsung Tv”
And as you saw it turned in my samsung tv.
[2:52] “Hey siri turn on sound system”
See, sound system turned on
[2:59] “Hey siri turn on xbox 360”
So, now if I go over to my xbox and press
[3:10] power it can turn on.
[3:12] “Hey siri turn on Dell Monitors”
See, the monitors came online.
[3:20] Let’s go back to the sprinkler system.
[3:23] “Hey siri turn off sprinkler system”
I don’t know if you heard the clicks but
[3:30] they did click, More on that later.
[3:33] Same thing with the echo those were just a
few commands there are many more but just
[3:37] to keep this video a little shorter I won't
say them all.
[3:39] Don’t worry there will be a another separate
video for that.
[3:41] Now let's take a look at the different user
interfaces as well as the different devices
[3:45] you can control the system from.
[3:47] First and my favorite is the wall mounted
interface, I like it because you can turn
[3:51] anything on or off at any time and it is motion
activated.
[3:54] Let's turn off the Lights, turn them back
on and then let's also turn off the samsung
[4:02] tv, as you can see over there it’s off,
and let’s turn it back on.
[4:11] Another cool thing is that if I cast something
to the chromecast i can play, and I can pause,
[4:25] as well as control the volume.
[4:37] Also let's set the LED Strip to blue to set
the mood while watching an MK-CarGarage video
[4:42] for those wondering it’s my car channel,
link below if you are interested.
[4:46] So, let’s go over to LED Strip control,
and choose the color blue, So, now if we pan
[4:52] back over to the TV setup the color is blue
on camera it looks a little purple but it
[4:58] is actually blue, we can also set it to green,
and many, many, many more colors to choose
[5:12] from, literally any color you would want but
let’s go back and pause the video.
[5:19] In addition I can also control the security
system from here, it shows me the status of
[5:24] the system, the status of the door and I can
also turn it on from here so let's enter the
[5:29] password and press enter to turn it on.
[5:38] And as you can see the security system did
turn on.
[5:41] Speaking of let's do a quick demo of one its
features which is that if I open the door
[5:45] the LED Strip will turn to red and I will
get a notification on my phone.
[5:49] As you can see the door is closed, now if
I open it
[5:59] the LED Strip turned to red and I got a notification
on my phone.
[6:02] Lastly, my favorite thing is the fact that
I can control the blinds from here so we can
[6:06] close, open and set them to half.
[6:25] And here is a full clip of showing them opening
and closing and setting them to half.
[6:34] Next is the mobile device user interface which
works on IOS and android.
[6:38] On android as you can see we can have all
the devices to control.
[6:42] I can also see the temperature, humidity and
if there is fire inside the home.
[6:48] Lets just turn on the tv setup 
and turn on the computer setup.
[6:57] IOS control is pretty much the same thing
as android but on IOS you can also control
[7:04] stuff from the home app, such as turn off
the tv setup and turn on zone 1, which is
[7:18] the sprinkler system but since it is currently
winter I don't have it connected instead I
[7:22] have it connected to the fire sensor for demo
purposes.
[7:26] Finally I can access the system from pretty
much any web browser so to do so “Alexa
[7:31] turn on computer setup” and as you can see
I currently have it open and have access to
[7:40] all the different control devices.
[7:44] For the last part of the video I am going
to quickly show you the devices and exactly
[7:48] which ones are controlled as well as which
ones send information.
[7:52] This will not be detailed because the more
detailed information will be in the next video
[7:55] which is the explanation one.
[7:57] This is the control wall and it is basically
what controls the entire house.
[8:01] Don’t worry about the gray panels we will
not be touching those instead we will be focusing
[8:06] over here on the network and servers for the
smart home.
[8:09] Next is the door sensor and it sends information
to the server.
[8:13] As you can see if we open it then on the tablet
it changes state.
[8:26] Moving to the right we have the sprinkler
system which we can control the different
[8:29] zones.
[8:30] Attached to that is the fire sensor so, if
I activated zone 1 then the fire sensor will
[8:35] send a notification.
[8:36] In the media center over here we have a power
strip which I can individually control the
[8:40] different devices such as the tv, sound system
and the xbox 360.
[8:46] Also I can control the led strip and choose
any color.
[8:50] As we keep moving right we can see the blinds
which as you know are controllable so currently
[8:54] it has 3 functions open, close and half.
[8:58] Then finally we have the desk which also like
the media center has a power strip and each
[9:02] component can be individually controlled the
monitors, macbook charger, and the accessories.
[9:07] So, that’s it that is my smart home / smart
room but, those are not all the devices there
[9:13] are some that I did not show and there are
ones that I am also currently working.
[9:17] If you are interested in making or learning
