I' ve gotten into a beergenal. The truth to see how I explain to myself that it is Homas Eastan and especially with the mess that is on the Internet. With all this, the truth is that we have to have a lot of peace of mind, that my rock doesn' t get upset, because actually starting with Homas Eastan isn' t that complicated. It is not seventeen or forty- seven steps, because it is as simple as following
three steps. The first step would be to install Homa Eastan correctly, the second step would be to connect the automatic devices and the third step would be to create automations. That' s it. It' s just that there ' s no more, because it' s really complicated to understand the role that Homasissistant or any other home automation controller plays within your home automation system.
That' s why, in this podcast chapter, I' m not going to explain how to install homasistas, because there are hundreds or thousands of videos and your pyritutorials that already do it and besides, they will do much better
than me. If even the official documentation you can find out what the homasist Lie water Merfred will be like, then what I' m going to talk about in this chapter, because I' m going to try to clarify once and for all what Jomasist is, with no word of syntecnicism for normal people like you and me, well, let' s leave it to normal people
like you. Welcome to technology for everyone. The podcast where I talk about arduin, not home automation programming and everything related to the Micker movement, my name Luis del Valle, and you can find me in easy programming. I want to start this chapter by asking a very easy and very simple question. Why you can' t see Stringers Thinks in HDAO. It' s logical.
Not every streaming platform creates its own content, whether it' s series, movies or documentaries that can only be viewed through its application or video platform. Something very normal. However, why can you watch all this content on the same TV? I mean, you don' t need a TV for each platform, because, thanks to smart TVs or FIGHTVs or cromcasts, you can see all the content, whatever the platform is on the same TV, because it wouldn' t make any sense to have a TV for each video
platform. I' m telling you in no way, because with home automation, until the arrival of the free domestic controllers, it happened. This is precisely what I mean about having a TV for each platform. I explain when you buy a device or philis Hugh, how you control it, because you have the app and you control it with the fivaros three- quarters of the same you will buy the device, install it and use its application and with
the SAMI it happens exactly the same. So, if your adomotic system has a multi- brand device, it' s up to you to have an app per brand to see that either it' s a drama to take a look at your mobile phone and you' ll have thousands of good, thousands of apps, one more thing. But this isn' t the worst.
What really makes automating a house something like impossible is that a manufacturer' s devices are only able to communicate with each other, i e that a Shaomie presence sensor cannot grant, turn on or off a Phillips Hyu bulb or that a Shaomit smoke sensor cannot activate a Shaomit alarm. To avoid this, many of us decided to choose a manufacturer and marry him to just use his devices. Thus, there are van boys of Shaomi, van boy of Phillips or
Fibarus or among others. More or less. That' s how home automation worked until one good day, a pre- clear mind said what we were all thinking. This makes no sense and instead of standing still, he began to develop a software that gave the solution to this absurdity. A software to govern them all, a software to find them, a software to attract them all and bind them on a server. See, it probably wasn' t that epic and it would be something more like this and even the balls of
not being able to turn off the Phillips bulb with the switch. This guy ' s not just anybody. It has a name and surname. It' s called Paulus Schousen Stobshan, Well anyway, and that creator of what we know today as a homasist, which is nothing but free software, that is, it has no commercial licenses, because it uses the famous Apache license and
this license says it' s a world- class lice. It' s non- exclusive rat free gifts and retrace the author' s right to reduce for work unreceive publicly, whore publicly his freedom and I made my work giritas to have source and look let' s go what comes to say that you can download and workshop use Homas Eastan totally free. Well, another day we ' ll talk about the free stuff. In principle, you won' t
have to pay anything for using Homasistant. But how does Homas Eastan not have to use the applications of manufacturers and be able to control all those devices from one site. Very good question. Homas Eastan does a function similar to what a FIGHTV or chroncast does with video platforms. See how I explain it to you, let' s give an example of a home- made device,
like a Phillips bulb. This is set up through your home' s WiFi network to have Internet access so that you can connect to the manufacturer' s servers, then you with your mobile app, you connect to that server to
turn the bulb on and off. If you add another device of any brand that is Fibar or Seami or whatever, you have to do the same process set up the device to be connected to the server via your WiFi network and then download another application to control the device and so with each manufacturer an application
and another application and another application with homas insta. What we do is configure all the connections to the servers of Philips, fivaro or Shoami or the manufacturer that is in a single application from which to control them all is like the control of the smart television, the fit V or the Cromecast with which we
can access Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime Video or whatever. But this isn ' t the most interesting thing, because controlling devices from a mobile app, even if it' s the only app we have, doesn' t make
your home automatic. What really makes your house appear, which has ghosts is when a Sami presence detector is able to turn on a light, or a decibar smoke detector makes a shaming mermaid sound and as it is capable hom more instantly do this right, this is achieved through automations, the essence of homas
instan and any automatic controller. The breast straw of home automation is what makes when a sensor detects a person lights up a light, that when the sun goes down people go down or when you enter home, they sound fanfare and set up an automation. It' s not fourteen or twenty- four steps either. There are only two sets, the trigger and you configure the action that will be executed when that trigger is launched. I' ll give you
a few examples so you can understand what I' m talking about. Unchaining person movement sensor action turn on the light of the pass for sixty seconds so that you do not look like a disturbing sleepwalker triggering. The room temperature' s down 20 degrees. Action lights the living room stove to the temperature of twenty degrees so you can continue to see the rings of powers so warm. Unchaining. The temperature of the fridge is very high. Action sends a message
to the phone saying abnormal. You left the fridge door open. I repeat, it is in the essence of Homasinstan or any other domotic controller. And speaking of other domestic controllers, it' s that there' s only Jomasist, there' s none else to see. How can I explain it to you? There are more automatic controllers, it is both Motits, Oppenhap or Gidom, among others. But one question about your bebt, pepsi, or coke, because that masista complaint is so popular that using another is like trying
to buy a pepsi in a market. Yes, luis. But there are also other domotic systems like kan x X ten or Loxson Mi Mi, Mi, Mi, Mi, of course man, all of them very professional, very original and very expensive to see. If you want a home system that costs one kidney and part of the other that depends on a single manufacturer and is totally incompatible with other home products congratulations. It' s a good option. If you prefer something much more flexible, accessible and economical, use homas
están or any other free home automation controller. And two things before I finish it. First, for Homasis so to work, it needs a server, that is, you' re going to need a computer where they' ll
be homasist. I' ll talk about this in another chapter. And the second thing is that, although homasista allows us to have a single application from which to control all the tomatic devices of our system, there is still something that squeaks at me and is to rely on manufacturers and the Internet to control them. Come on, if there' s a zombie apocalypse, and the Internet will use your house to stop working. I will also talk about this in another chapter. Now I do say good- bye. Remember, I
' m redefining her. If you subscribe to the podcast, if you give it a like, if it gives it the five stars. I don' t care, because the important thing is that in programming easy com you will be able to subscribe to a mailing list where you can receive more information about carduino and cacharreo domot. There' s content in there. You' re not gonna find it on any channel, let alone find it on this podcast. Now I' m going to say good- bye. We hear each
other in the next chapter. Don' t miss the date and remember set happy Chao
