hello Automators. Thanks for tuning in again this is part 2 where i'm going to
show you how to set up three different solutions for your smart home lighting
in relatively small spaces now yesterday I showed you the very simplest of
solutions right here this is simply put 3m tape on the back and you're going to
want to install this device so that this little motion sensor can see you now the
links are down below to one of these and there are a lot on Amazon there's a lot
being sold around the world so very simple LED motion sensing light
with a battery pack on it so those are the key critical components I'm not
going to show you exactly how to install this because honestly stick it to a wall
take off the 3m tape stick it to a wall put the four batteries in here and make
sure you have access to those batteries later but I'm going to now show you the
other two solutions that I've done in my smart home so let's get going so if you
remembered yesterday what I showed you was my smart home lighting setup in my
laundry room now there's two Sengled Element smart bulbs in those two fixtures and then
turning around here and looking at the door I have a Samsung SmartThings
multi-purpose sensor now both lights shut off when I go ahead and close the
door and that multi-purpose sensor senses that it's next to its other
magnetic component that's really all that's happening here this is a very
simple setup so let's go ahead and show you how to get this done
so the big critical component with your multi-purpose sensor as you get it out
of the box there is a little tag that says remove when connecting and that tag
is actually your battery and once you remove that the battery is live and that
will start the pairing mode for your multi-purpose sensor once you've done
that essentially that device is ready to go and then from there you can just go
ahead and use the 3m sticky tape that was provided to go ahead and mount it on
your door frame and on your door like you saw
earlier in the video where I'm going to start is in the Samsung SmartThings
application and what I'll tell you is I already have those two laundry lights
set up and I already have the laundry door sensor set up so what I'm going to
show you is how to add a new thing inside of Samsung SmartThings so you hit
that plus up at the top right and what that does is the Samsung SmartThings
hubs start searching for new things to connect now for singled Element bulbs I
actually struggled getting them connected one of the tricky things to do
here is leave the light switch on and then turn it on and off 10 times and
that will start a pairing process for the singled element classic a 19 bulbs
that are sold quite often once you do that what happens is your Samsung
SmartThings will find that Sengled Element Classic
bulb and you can go ahead and hit rename device now call it whatever you want I'm
going to call it the laundry room light 3 and then I'm gonna show you how to
rename the device and you can actually stick it in rooms but ultimately for
what we're doing this doesn't matter now once you've hit OK
you basically have that light now in the application and you have access to it
you can see it right there laundry room light 3 now we can go into that light
settings just by tapping on it and you could physically if you want to turn
that bulb on and off and change the percent on if you wanted right in this
screen but we can also hit the settings up in the top right and that's just a
little gear icon and then you can go ahead and rename the device here so you
can see I'm just renaming it to laundry light 3 and then I'm going ahead back
there are other settings that I could show you but really what we're trying to
do here is set up a smart app so down at the bottom of the application I've
tapped on automation and you can see I already have smart lighting setup it's
down towards the bottom and I can go in and I can see all the different
components of smart lighting that I have set up but if you didn't have that set
up already we can scroll down to the bottom and you can
see add a smart app now go to lights and switches inside of there and you can hit
smart lights it's the very very first one now what I can do is I can choose
the devices I wish to control so that's going to be laundry light one two and
three
and once I have those three selected I go ahead and hit next now I could choose
to activate a scene but honestly that's a little too complex for what we're
doing here we're going to go ahead and choose what we want to do so I want it
to turn on and then how do I want to trigger that action well I want it to be
based on an open close and you can do a lot of different things you can see that
here but I'm choosing open close and now I have to choose which opened or open
close sensor I'm going to choose my laundry door sensor now in when I first
added this you would have had to add that device as well and call it laundry
door sensor as long as you had that sitting with the battery pulled from it
then that laundry door sensor would have been ready to set up with your Samsung
SmartThings and would have shown up when you hit add things just the same as the
single element bulb so you could have set up both of those devices at the same
time now from here we're just choosing a few more settings so we want it to turn
on when opened and you can see I've turned it off when closed and I could do
that after a number of minutes so I could turn it off if I want a little bit
of a delay now choosing more options I can also do this only during a certain
time so this is how you can start to modify the actions you could create
multiple of these if you wanted say to only turn on these lights during night
time so you could actually say only during a certain time or only when a
certain mode if you have an alarm system already set up and smart things so what
you'll see me do here is basically start at sunset and end at sunrise and
therefore this automation would only occur when it's nighttime so once you
set all of these different settings you could make a lots of kind of if
statements so you could base it on other switches in your home being on you could
base it on other settings like illuminance if you had one of those
sensors in your home you could do that as well but ultimately in the end once
these settings are all set you just hit next now you could go ahead and
edit the automation name if you'd wanted but you can also just hit save and now
it's already installed and automating so when you actually go and open that door
those lights will all turn on so here you can see the automation working
there's my door just going open and as I close it the lights turn off so of
course if I had added that delay it would take longer to actually shut off
the lights but let's head upstairs to my walk-in closet here in our master
bedroom and I'll show you the lighting automation there this is based on a
motion sensor up in the top right corner there's my Samsung SmartThings motion
sensor but in the fixture itself is a Philips hue bulb so what I'm going to
show you today is how to ensure that Philips U is connected to Samsung
SmartThings and then that motion sensor can actually make your light turn on and
then I'm going to set a timer to make it turn off after two minutes now the one
thing to note is you will have to leave your light switch on for both of these
automations to work so keep that in mind but let's switch over to Samsung
SmartThings the application and go ahead and add our philips hue device so going
into the Samsung SmartThings application here we're going to go to the things
section and now I'm just using an Android tablet so just keep in mind that
things might look slightly different but I'm trying to show both systems here now
we're going to go to add a thing just the same as we did last time I could use
the plus but there's also the button add a thing and now it goes and it looks for
devices but what you actually have to do is push the button on the top of your
Philips hue bridge when you do that it enters a pairing mode as well and it
goes looking for these types of connections so once that happens what
you're going to find is not only does your Philips hue bridge show up but it
also shows up with all of the different lamps or lights that are already
attached with the correct names so there's the hue 70 C 5 C 1 that is my
bridge and I could rename any of these just like you saw in the previous demo
but they've all come in and now I have all these additional devices
inside of Samsung SmartThings so again I could go ahead and I could manage the
different components to each bulb if I wanted to change the light intensity I
could go ahead and change that I could change the color if I have a color bulb
and you can see that I do in this instant now what if you needed to add
another bulb to your Philips hue and this is the most likely situation and
it's actually one of the more stranger things to do when you have these two
systems connected so going into light setup inside of the Philips hue
application bottom right we go into the settings portion of the application and
then we go into light setup where it says we can add new lights and top left
you can see the button add light and then you just go ahead and search now if
you struggled here for any reason I obviously didn't because it popped right
up but if you did struggle then you could go ahead and enter a serial number
now once you tap on that bulb you can go ahead and rename it and I'm going to
call this one walk-in closet number two basically because I already have a bulb
in that room and you already see it setup so I'm just showing you how to go
through the setup process again so now that I've done that I could inside of
the hue app go into the room setup and then down at the bottom I have my
walk-in closet room and I can go ahead and I can add this new bulb to that room
now that doesn't add it to a room in any
other system it's unfortunate none of these systems are talking to each other
so it doesn't work in Google home or Amazon their voice assistant or Samsung
SmartThings it really doesn't matter now when I come back into Samsung
SmartThings you won't see that new walk-in closet
light - the reason for that is your hue bridge hasn't resynchronized and the
easiest way to actually go about that is to go into your hue bridge the device
itself so again that's hue 70 c5c one go into there and just scroll down to the
bottom this page and there's actually a refresh
button just hit that and then go back to your list of things and you saw it just
refresh there there's the walk-in closet light too so from here now we just have
to head to automation again and that's at the bottom of the application and
then we'll go into smart lighting again or we could add a new smart app as you
saw in the previous demonstration so I just went back into smart lighting and
now what I'm doing is I'm actually modifying the applet that I had
previously created so that one was called walk-in closet lighting so we'll
just tap on that and you could make a new lighting automation if you wanted to
for now I'm going to go into which device I want to control so that's the
walk-in closet light which is already on and now I'm just adding the second you
might only have one in there the next setting we want to look at is do we want
to activate a scene again no that's a little too complex for this and what do
we want to have happen we want it to turn on
so now scrolling down what you do is how do you want to trigger the action I've
already chosen motion and if you remember from the last demo we could
choose a number of different things but I'm using that motion sensor that you
saw up there and that is my walk-in closet sensor so I have to make sure
that that is chosen now the other thing I choose is turn on when motions start
so I want to have that light or those lights turn on when motion starts and
then I also want to turn off after motion stops but you can see that I've
added a delay of two minutes right now now you can also tap more options and
when you do that you can go ahead and you can choose things like only during a
certain time or on days of the week or the mode what they're talking about
there is alarms or your alarm system your security system with Samsung
SmartThings you have an if a switch is on and if
illuminance is also at a certain level or below a certain level if you'd like
this totally happen say when it's relatively dark in your
home so if you had one of those sensors you could go ahead and utilize that now
after this you're really just hitting next and you're all done here and you go
ahead and save so it's a relatively simple process and now your light will
turn on as soon as you walk into the room as long as you have that motion
sensor targeted at the right places in your room so that's it both of those
things are now set up in your home and if you have any questions go ahead leave

you to go ahead and watch hair on automate your life so thanks for
watching and we'll see you next time
