Adam Young (b. 1983) and Joel Boychuk (b. 1985), with several years of miscellaneous music experience behind them and a few years as great friends and partners-in-crime, decided to reinvent their sound and call themselves “Tractile.” Having been obsessed with the concept of controlling the uncontrollable and seducing recorded sound of any kind, the name was a suiting merge between the words track and tactile. Boychuk and Young played their first public live show in 2003 and have continued to shake dance-floors ever since, always impressing and exciting their audience far beyond expectation.
Influenced by a strange combination of filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas and the evolution of techno music and emergence of the “minimal sound” through artists like Richie Hawtin and Jeff Milligan, Tractile delivers barrages of demented but motivating tech grooves perfect for dance floors and at-home listeners alike... and with a swiftly-growing international fanbase, it’s no wonder the name is on the toungue-tips of DJs and music fans everywhere.

Great video! I really enjoyed seeing how you're using the Stream Deck for home automation. I do something similar, but I have a couple of recommendations to share with you.

First, adding a profile page that shows all your profiles would make it easier to navigate through them without having to switch manually on the desktop app. With one button, you can see all your profiles and easily select the one you need.

Second, creating multiple pages per profile and having next and previous page buttons on the Stream Deck would allow you to quickly flip through the pages and gain unlimited button combinations. While you've already created three buttons - one for the home/profile button and two for right and left pages - having multiple pages would make it even easier to access every profile.

Although you would lose the three buttons you currently have on each page, I still believe the benefits of having a streamlined way to access all your profiles and the flexibility to add more buttons with multiple pages per profile would be worth it.

Thank you for sharing your setup, and I hope these suggestions are helpful!"

Reed 'Insane' workflow is the best description for your video , It's the best workflow i have seen , infact your video got me tinkering and i initiated my HA setup ,

- Have a pi3 b+ running HA
- Have HACS installed
- your icons are so beautiful

But i am stuck at few things , might i request your complete walkthrough video for your setup and how to get everything running ,
you have a great eye for minimal and tactile workflow. i look forward to your videos.
and would love to create the same eco system at my place. Thank you

Since this wasn’t a review I didn’t talk about all the Stream Deck details. Yes it needs to be plugged into a computer for it to work. Any time I show it working in the video, it’s plugged in next to my computer. If you want something for around the house a dashboard (old tablet converted to a smart home display) would be a better fit. You could still take many of these ideas and apply it to a dashboard though.

Shout out to Jean-Luc for emailing me about using a Stream Deck as a smart home dashboard! My desk will never be the same.

One thing that can really speed up the workflow when using streamdeck, is to use multiple ones. Not just because that gives you access to more buttons, but you can actually use a button to change the profile of another streameck, and that is really useful when working with software as it allows you to quickly jump between sets of different type of tools. It of course also means that you can set it up to switch what home automation profile is shown, instead of having to page to the right page.

I know this is 7 months old but maybe no one mentioned it already: I noticed you have some use cases where you use two buttons for similar things. One button to turn something on, and one button to turn it off. Or two buttons for your speakers. Streamdeck has good possibilities to combine then into one button which allows you to save button space and have even more automation on one page

This is great, Reid. I'm pretty familiar with the Stream Deck as a tool for video streamers, but I hadn't really considered its usefulness as a home automation hub. I may just have to pick up one of these and give it a try. I do already have a Google Nest Hub on my desk, which allows me to control my lights and other smart home devices pretty easily, provided they integrate with Google Home. I'm wondering whether one might get a little creative with routines and mimic a lot of the same functionality you're talking about achieving with the Stream Deck.

I randomly got a “Razer” stream deck for excessive Apple Script/shortcut combos on Mac to Windows, and almost immediately started using it for HASS also. We have many similar automations, though I’m now adding the Spotify idea! Also your two up/down blinds buttons can be merged to one using icon templates and toggle service.

This is great. I kept seeing that deck go on sale and was curious if it was really just for streamers. Thanks for the tips!

One of the guiding principles that is winning a lot of points with my family is making the automations… automatic! So I have multiple “I’m busy” accent lights in the rooms adjacent to my home office. But they are triggered by my webcam being active. Yeah, I can trigger manually with a button. But then I need to remember to turn it off again. Having them turn on and off the instant I join or leave a meeting has been fantastic. I’m driving this through Home Assistant using the sensors provided by the companion app that runs on my MacBook.

If you ever end up doing LED projects using WLED software on an ESP32 for example (QuinLED Dig Series are amazing for this), there's a Stream Deck plugin that works with the HTTP/JSON API for WLED.

I also like that If I'm not logged into my station, or walk away and my station times out, nobody else can use it to get into secure devices because the stream deck profiles are stored under my Windows user profile only.

These are basically the two non-streaming related automation tasks that I have configured.

@Aurleis

7:04 - You can create an audible notification on an Echo device to inform you when your battery reaches a certain level. Not as big of a deal with a phone, but for something like a tablet that you may not be accessing every 20-30 minutes it could be helpful (esp if you have a number of tablets). I don't know about down in the valley, but up here in the mountains of Yavapai we get power outages all of the time. A notification to top off your devices if a storm is being forecast within a few hours could also be a helpful notification. (I guess I'm as lazy as you want automations to take care of much😆)

@XSemperIdem5

Is that only on the echo devices with screens or would an echo dot be capable of doing that too? I started using the Google device finder app to check on devices that are charging so I don't have to get up to check if they're done yet 😅

@Aurleis

@@XSemperIdem5 Are you asking if you can do something similar to what Reed has done with a Steam Deck on an Echo Show? If so, I am unaware of a means to make that work. Part of the problem is that Echo Show devices can't have Home Assistant (or other apps) installed, so you can't create a dashboard specific for your Echo Show to work in the same way as Reed's Steam Deck.

The closest you might be able to come would be through something like a Kindle, but it would almost certainly require greater programming effort to swap out icons (possible, but a serious pain). You'd probably be best off spending the $130 through Amazon to get a Steam Deck.

@SmartHomeSolver

That's a good one with how many lights are on!

@Moon-Raven

I personally have a ring light that is plugged into a socket where I can turn on and off the USB ports through Home Assistant. I have HASS Agent installed on my PC, so if my camera turns on, it will turn on the USB port, so that my ring light turns on. As a backup, I have a button on my Stream Deck to turn it on and off. Amazing stuff.

I had wanted to get my own Stream Deck back when I had live streaming in my plans to reboot my YouTube channel, but even though that fell to low priority, I had already found out about repurposing an old tablet to run Deckboard (and Home Assistant when my PC is off), and these ideas could work for that!

Great ideas, and I see myself adding some of them to my Stream Deck that I've been using for a while. Here's a couple of things that I use it for:

Control my Sony Bravia (Android/Google TV) Smart TV, from turing the TV on and off, selecting inputs (or directly launching apps), Volume/Mute/Play/Pause - it's to the point I rarely have to pick up the remote. I normally bring up my security cameras on it while working, one button turns it on, launches the camera app and mutes the sound.

Like your "quiet time" timer app, I have a LaMetric Time that is right next to my webcam for video conferencing. I have one button that turns on the appropriate lighting for the webcam and mutes the phone and my personal computer (which is the one Stream Deck is connected to, not the work computer being used for Video Conferencing), and additional buttons that start a countdown timer on the LaMetric Time (one for 30 minute calls and another for 60 minute calls), and another button that cancels the timer, turns of the webcam specific lighting off and unmutes everything muted previously. The timers help me (especially when they're my meetings) keep the calls on track and not run over.

If you have a Mac the Home Assistant companion app is super powerful. I have automations for desk lighting when my computer is active, and if my external speakers (on my computer) start playing audio, HA will lower the volume on all rooms Sonos speakers as to not interfere and then put it back to the previous volume when system media stops playing. This all paired with the HA plugin for StreamDeck gives you desk automations super user privilege haha

It's a good product, but it could be much better if it had the ability to communicate with my smart home hub without needing to be connected to any computer. Maybe they are planning that for the next version of the product. Yes, I know you are thinking that some features won't work when it's not connected to a computer. But an app on the computer could communicate to the Stream Deck using some Smarthome Hub API, (either for Windows or Mac) and you should be able to get it to work with your computer wirelessly.

@turdferguson7686

i bought a smart deck so that i could control my sound device and control my winamp/music player independently of whatever the active program was without needing an ugly keyboard with media keys. basically i wanted to change songs while playing counterstrike because switching back and forth from it makes it run like crap. and windowed mode runs like crap. i eventually started getting more smart home devices and added some of those routines to it too. fantastic little devices. might get the newer one with knobs on next. though i have the turnup for volume knobs already.... streamdeck just has so many more plugins though. i got the el gato pedals too, which are another very useful addition.

First great video as always. And second i have a question that is absolutely unrelated. I wonder if i can set up an NFC tag from the Apple shortcuts app, and i want that tag to control smart home devices linked from the google home app. Is it possible. Any help will be appreciated!

Curious if this also works with e.g. a Loupedeck Live S because I think it has way better design and also more functionalities with the buttons and dials
