Very helpful, clear and well explained. It works for me.
Yo tuve mala experiencia en el esta barra , los materiales son malos , el sonido no es de 80w es de cuando mucho 15w la entrada óptica no funciona solo genera estática , y la fidelidad como cualquier bocina china económica ,,👎👎👎mejor la saque y compre una TCL las más chica y económica y esa en verdad si vale la pena , en costo , sonido y materiales 👍🏻
This video feels like an OCD science experiment
Can I do this on a Sky Connect dongle?
I find the PM2.5 doesn't update regularly, but randomly when it feels like.
When I enter the bedroom, the bedroom light and fan will turn on automatically and when I leave the room the bedroom light and fan will turn off automatically. How can I make this happen in Google Home app?
Will not load my TE Lifestyle tariff, pretty useless to be honest
Genius thank you
Does the screen flip all the way to create a tablet?

Thanks for the video! love it 1 question; when I select one of the themes my weather card does not display any Weather icons; how do I get this to work?
so dumb to have air quality crap and dont include co2.... co2 is mor eimportant than pm2.5. in your house there is no 2.5 emiters....and a lot of co2 emiters
Well its supposed to be freestanding ie not in a cupboard.. no wonder you can't get in the door...
Thank you for this video, really clear instructions :) very useful, especially for the trouble shooting app🙏
How to turn on keyboard lights?
Theres a button on the keyboard
@@Toopaid_b1 I'm not having that button on keyboard
I know I didn't use headphones to listen to the sound test, but I can hear a bass difference on the Gen 2. But say if you've got the Gen 1 parked under the TV on one of it's shelves you'd wouldn't hear that much difference?! (At 8:42 ish, the Gen2 sounded a bit flat not that much of a reason for anyone to upgrade from a Gen1 to me) To be honest the speaker on my Roberts iStream3 is bassier than both of them and I've had to turn down the bass on that radio to -3/4!! I was checking out your video to see if buy some kind of hub device would benefit me, but seeing as I've got no wireless lighting, smart devices (other than my Google TV, etc. I can't see much need for one, could anyone tell me what I might use one for in my home.
Is the dock power button capable of turning on the laptop?
Just bought one and wanted to connect it to Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT with Conbee III Zigbee Stick, but the device doesn't want to connect. I pressed the button 4x several times, did a restart of HA ... Newest Updates installed. Any help? 😊
My conbee wouldn't connect to any devices until I used a USB 2.0 hub. The USB 3.0 ports blocked the communication. Works fine in a USB 3.0 port + USB 2.0 Hub.
@@corvusaflame713 I solved it by using ZHA instead of Z2M 😎

Don't buy from Ebay won't work it has to be installed by engineer it will need a code.

Hi, how can i have the control center new? And update?
Hello! Good video! Works with Dell Laptops? The power botton button turn on the laptop withou using tyhe laptop button? Thanks!
Where can I find the power adapter?
The power supply is the one that comes with HP laptops.
Model number, where to buy?
I am already using Google Home app with my thermostat and doorbell cam without nest hub would I be forced to buy one just to use these plugs?
You will need a Matter Thread border router in your home to setup the eve matter plug, ie one from Google, Amazon or apple or another supplier. For Google that's Nest WiFi or the nest Hub gen 2, I believe the new Chromecast that's just announced is also a matter thread border router.
I would like to use a nest thermostat to control a Samsung 360 cassette, Is that possible?
I literally dnt have my other remote but it won't do voice on my new one how do I unpair it without the old one?
great video i will add its worth noting if you already have installed via ZHA method you need to disable this first for this to work
What a stupid, pointless video! No help at all
❤ thank you.
How loud is the fan?
Can't hear it , I have one in my bedroom & I can't hear it while in bed.
@@hometechUK Thank you. Amazing. I got the simple Ikea VINDRIKTNING air sensor with three leds and it make annoying noises not suitable for a bedroom.
1° what
It has been a long time since getting anything new that they force on you has been to our benefit, I will avoid it as long as possible.
do I need WiFi or internet 🛜 to use this ? because in my village no WiFi no internet at all
So if I connect the two HUE bridges to the HUE Essentials application at the same time as the HUE application, what happens? Can I manage with both I BRIDGE applications without losing anything?
Straight to the point. Thank you
Im using redmi note 10...this tuto not helping me because there's no option to change the current currency format
At a voltage drop it stopped and the operation (touchpad) I tried everything but I couldn't reinstall the driver for the tochpad. Who can help me in this regard? I have exactly the same model as in the presentation.
Would you recommend this laptop to me? Is it worth buying from how much time you have this
thx for die video!
How can I update
if im understanding this correctly, this means i can buy one of these without needing to spend more on the ikea home hub?
Yes, you can use this just as a stand alone device or as I have connected it to Home Assistant, as long as you have a ZigBee antenna connected to your home assistant.
@hometechUK oh I don't think I have one of these, ı got a samsung smart things, which I think does other zigbee stuff
@@hometechUK Hello, what does number 4 mean, just beside the 3 colours please ? I understand the colour like red is bad, green is good, but the number 4 ? Thank You. By the way, i just notice that it alternate between 3 and 4 now.
how much watts do the charger have of this laptop
Thank you so much! Got my plug working with this vid :)
I have an older hp omen that does NOT have a usb c port, but does have an hdmi port. If I connect my laptop to the hub using the hdmi cable will it display to the monitors that are in plugged into the two display ports? I understand that won't feed power to my laptop, I just need the functionality of two monitors
If you don't have a usb c port it would be better to search Amazon for a cheaper USB A hub with 2 hdmi ports, that would work better for you. You should be able to get one for just under £50/ $65
@hometechUK I appreciate your response. Thank you! This hub is actually what I would need for bringing my work laptop home. I guess I wanted to be able to switch between personal and work laptop while being able to utilize the dual monitor for both.
Thanks so much, you're the greatest! Very easy to follow instructions and you helped me tremendously! Awesome video! Keep up the good work! ❤
I just wrote with my screen turned off with the "screen off memo" feature, cool tablet
Just got one of these mint but second hand watching these video's before I use , But one question the kg light is staying on and you are using daily mode does that mean that the load is to heavy for that program...?? I thought if you got a 8kg machine you could put upto 8kg in it but the manual seems to say you can only put 3 kg in on daily 59 wash am I reading that correctly as this seems daft if its a 8 kg machine must admit im a little confused regarding this and I can't seem to find any viedos for this machine that helps clarify this , so if some can explain I would be very gratefull eve on mixed it seems to say you can only put in 4kg so whats the point of it being a 8k machine...??? And will / could it damage it if you put more in even if its under 8kg doesn't any make sense to me ...
It's an 8kg machine yes... But some wash settings work best with a lighter load.... 14mins rapid wash won't wash an 8kg load quiet as well as the Cotton mode will. So the Rapid wash, Silk and hand, Delicates, they all wash best with a lighter load.
You’re a genius thank you I had 2 spare remotes and one fell apart now working .
I wish there were a way to choose which lights to dim *without* having to have them all turned off.
