Great point on the mopping! No one has mentioned this. Thank you!

Find my phone now charges. Just say where's my phone and it will call it for free

Awesome video. I like how you keep this simple too. A lot of the home automation guys run their system with a dedicated home assistant server or something, but it looks like you just use Alexa for everything, which is what I want to do

Thank you - what I would like you to help us with is; how to ensure that ruties will work ALL the time, because now routines stop working until one reset the devices to make it work - how to make Amazon embbed AI in ALL devices to ensure no lose of connections with the router.... yes, something useful rather than given operations.

Good

Where’s your Alexa skills store is placed? ‘Cause mine is in Italy and I cannot find most of these great skills you’re rising up in the video 😢

How do I find specific information about the setup of these automations on Reddit? Did they give detailed instructions?

Does the Broadlink RM Pro 4 work with HA, Apple Home, or just Alexa?

Bought! Thanks, appreciate the UK content.

Has anyone tested if it is better to vacuum and then mop separately or does the vac/mop setting where it does it at the same time just as effective? I have been doing a schedule where it vacuums and then an hour later it mops thinking maybe this cleans better? Not sure if this has ever been tested or if anyone has user experience.

Your presentation is short and clear, thanks BTW, do you think it is possible to only connect the L1 switch wire to a regular bulb, and leave L2 unconnected? What I want to achieve is: - When I press the L1 button, the regular bulb will turn on/off. - When I press the L2 button, the smart bulb (which already has a power supply) will turn on/off.

Thank you for the video, very useful !

I got an echo dot 5th gen and it says I need a gateway to control my bulbs without a remote, is this correct? The dirigera gateway would cost me 60 bucks

All of these are worthless to me except find my phone lol

The videos on your youtube channel are very nice

Hi Rick! What are those candles? :)

Hi do you have a blog or online site.

Your TH-cam channel video quality is very good. Thumbnails are eye-catching. But there is some problem with your channel. Update the video tags section and complete SEO. Only then your video views and subscriptions will increase. If you want I can tell you more about this and guide you in growing your channel.

The videos on your youtube channel are very nice

Anyone else accidentally buy the one that doesnt stick?

hello amazing video. Well done. I have question. If we have 1 light but we will buy the double rocker H1, can we use the 2nd switch for more smart scenes??

I have the Phillips Hue Bridge and I was wondering if I get a Bridge do I get rid of my Phillips Bridge?

At the wall switch, all we have is the switch live cable and the light out. I guess the switch live would go into the 'L' terminal?

Great Video & well done!

I tried creating a routine last night. I don't know what I did, but I had to REBOOT EVERY SINGLE ALEXA DEVICE IN THE HOUSE this morning., and I'm not exactly a newbie at this tech stuff. Hopefully it was just a coincidence and we had a power flash or something.

Did you have the pro version yet

I havnt find yet a review of moist sand on the floor. S8 wasnt able to suck it up on max mode.. Every dog owner should have a sandpaper floor ?

nice video. One suggestion. Add your automations. Some of those projects would be great to do but folks are lazy or just don't have a clue.

Nice review. Still going strong?

Can this work with Philips Hues? (With a Hue Bridge) ? Does this just mean I have to pair to HomeKit/GoogleHome Apps (either) and since the lights are there then it'll work together? but i also mean that this device won't be seen by the Philps Hues App/Bridge setup right?

Great thanks

When I select other it asks me to set up a zigbee hub and whichever option I select it prompts me to have a zigbee hub or it will not proceed. I have echo 4th gen. What do I do

I have quite a lot of Aqara stuff it has one major weakness in the UK... No smart plugs or wall sockets! It ends up with you having to make complicated bridges with your smart home assistant.

One thing not mentioned is how you can use it with a metal bead chain that has a connector in the middle to join the two ends. The blind has a sealed cog wheel which the connector cannot pass through. The smart blind device has a cog that the connector also cannot pass through. The length of the chain between both cogs is not enough to fully open and close the blinds and it's already at the lowest part of the window recess. How do you solve that?

“I don’t have many viewers and I want you all to be safe” is an excellent thing to say. You’re a good bloke.

do they have a dimmable version of these for downlights?

Great use of the T1 cube

Hi, thanks for the video, problem I have is how to set these ideas up in Alexa. Can you create a video showing step by step how to do it please? There are so many videos on similar subjects such as this one but as a novice, how do I do it? If you can demonstrate it , I for one would be very interested.

How did you control the fireplace ? Smart plug inside the wall or ir?

I have a favorite automation. I have an autistic child, so I have a voice cue on Alexa “It’s about that time” rings a bell, turns up the volume and says “1, 2, 3 red light!” Then turns all my living room bulbs to red. Alexa then says “In 10 minutes it’ll be time to go upstairs.” Then the lights will turn back to white, and I have it on an 8 minute wait. When the 8 minute wait is done it repeats the process to give him a 2 minute warning and reminds him to clean up his toys. The lights then turn and stay yellow. Then goes to a 2 minute wait. Once the two minute wait is up, it repeats, turns all the living room lights red and then turns all the lights on to his room. His room light will change green which gives him a visual cue to put on PJs. At that point all the lights downstairs turn off (except the ones leading upstairs). The lights leading to his room turn off after 10 minutes. There are other colors that indicate bath night or story time, and those have their own starting phrases but the same over all process. It took a little bit to get him on the routine but it has our bedtime fights down to near zero. And when he’s tired, he can (and will) initiate it himself.

I have actually just implemented a variations of the doorbell flashing the lights. I have 2 doors into my house and a video doorbell on each. But for some reason I have no idea why companies insist on making the same chime for all the doors. So I have it set up so that the front door the lights will flash red and the back door will flash green. (A variation on the port and starboard light colours as I couldn't find one for bow and stern).

Lightwave all day, every day ;)

Sure brother 😅

Hey! What about Matter? Does it khm matter?

Are you saying that the lights that are attached to this switch can be turned off and on using the switch, but the power is still applied to the light fitting constantly? What about if you have a 3 gang switch?

I am a big fan of Aqara products, and Synching my aqara hub to a smartthings hub has really opened things up. Big fan of their sensors too.

I have the single version. The light will turn blue when paired but weirdly, it only comes on when the light is on. I would have preferred it the other way around. Lol

I’m curious about the Boradlink for the fireplace. I have a Heat N Glo with an infrared remote and no wall switch. Do you think Broadlink would work for that? I’ve tried the relay switch and smart plug combo with no success.

Cool

Lack of replaceable battery makes this a no-go for me. They expect me to either throw it away or leave a dangling USB cable? No.
