I’ve recently been diving into the world of smart home integration, and I must say, it’s been quite an adventure! 
One of the first things I tackled was getting my Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch to work seamlessly with both SmartThings and Google Home. While the lock itself integrates beautifully with SmartThings, I was curious if there was a way to make it visible in Google Home as well. After some research, I discovered that it’s possible through third-party integrations, but it requires a bit of setup. I’d love to hear if anyone has a more straightforward method or any tips to make this process smoother! 
Another exciting discovery I made was exploring the new features on my Wyze camera. My daughter pointed out a feature called ‘Request Dispatch,’ which I had never noticed before. It looks like it allows for more customized notifications or actions based on detected activity. I’m still figuring out how to fully utilize it, but it seems like a game-changer for security setups. If anyone has experience with this feature, I’d be thrilled to hear how you’re using it! 
On the topic of cameras, I’ve also been thinking about the convenience of temporarily suspending notifications and recordings. Sometimes, I’d like to enjoy a bit of peace without completely turning off my security system. It would be amazing if there was a quick way to pause these features for a set period, like 2 hours or overnight. Has anyone found a workaround for this? 
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with integrating various devices from different manufacturers. It’s been a challenge but also incredibly rewarding to see everything work together. If anyone has tips on making multi-brand integrations smoother or has encountered unique solutions to common issues, I’d love to hear about them! 
Happy tinkering everyone!
