Today I am taking you through my fully automated creator workspace and showing you how my office reacts to me throughout the day without me lifting a finger. Everything from motion activated lighting, automatic desk power, temperature control, CO2 warnings, window sensors, plant moisture alerts, walking pad reminders, and Stream Deck scenes that transform my entire setup when I film, edit, take meetings, or go into focus mode. If there is friction in my workflow, I try to automate it. In this video you will see how I use Home Assistant, mmWave presence sensors, ambient light sensors, smart switches, window sensors, energy monitoring, and custom Stream Deck macros to build a space that feels amazing to work in. Work feels easier, filming feels smoother, and my whole day flows better. This setup is still a work in progress but I hope it gives you some ideas for your own desk setup or office automations. If you have any suggestions or cool things you have built in your own workspace, let me know in the comments.
