Just looking quickly at one video where he had trouble with heating, they seem to use, lets say, not exactly finished products. Instead controlling things via Home Assistant. Which does not to me scream having lots of money, even is he has that. I believe there are much more expensive and more ready-made systems than what was used there.

I think you're talking about the latest one where he's mining bitcoin for heating. I haven't seen that video, but there is a playlist of 30 videos about his new house, and a lot talk about different smart-home aspects which are top of the line and yet just don't work.

I think the one that shows the most glaring issues is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkAiXzKOTNY about his smart lights.
