I definitely didn’t know that Alexa will give you a heads up vs my iPhone alarm assassinating me every morning. I also really love the motion sensor Ed bathroom lights. That’s a whole vibe. Thanks for all the new tips!
smart home goals right here! I just bought my first home and I want to install everything you shared but I think most useful would be the automated lights, especially changing hues depending on the time of day!
This video was quite informative for me as a new home owner 😊👍🏾 I really like the smart lighting system, especially as a female when coming home late so that I won't have to worry about searching for the light switch in the dark.
I love the idea of smart lights with sensors. It’s very useful when coming home at night with handful stuffs or going to the restroom in the middle of the night. So I don’t need to find light switches.
The most useful thing for me is actually the echo show. I’m a chef so being in the kitchen and having smart tech in there would be a game changer. This whole video was a game changer. I’m moving in a few weeks and I can’t wait to add these to my new apartment! Love it.
The most important part of a smart setup in my opinion is the brains, the virtual assistant. Having a smart display or speaker can really change how you operate a smart living space! Awesome video, thanks for sharing your setup with us!!!
18k girl congrats and people are looking for you just hold on tight and thanks for holding it down for the girls. Most techy video's are done by guys so I am very happy to have found your channel and the video was so informative with the necessary links your are the bomb.
I appreciate this comment so much! I want to share my interest but I do get discouraged when I see that my smart home videos don’t do as well! But I want to be representation in this male dominated space!
This was an amazing video that gives more insight on what I want to put into my future home. I’m currently apartment hunting for my first apartment ☺️ I feel like the most useful thing I got from this video was how to separate all of the Amazon products for specific rooms. And how to operate the lighting systems. Looking into get the iPad mount as well for a great centralized area for all the devices. Thank you so much and congrats on 10k!
The most useful smart home tech for me would be definitely be the lighting. Throughout the day, I definitely prefer different settings and having that automated would be really cool. Great video!
The most useful thing in smart home is the scenes, like a magic, 1 command can change an entire home, and in this video I really like the WiFi tag where you can tap your phone and connect to the network. Great video with details 👍🏻👍🏻
Uhmm.. CAN I SAY ALL? lol The most useful thing I’d use in my smart home is DEFINITELY the Alexa controls for each room 😍 “Alexa turn on the living room lights” .. Are you kidding me ! The hue lights is also a cool touch too.
Congrats on reaching 10K! I have never entertained the thought of having a smart home. After watching this I have changed my perspective. The idea of having one in my kitchen and bathroom to listen to podcast or audio would be a game changer! Thank you for creating this video!!
Thank you for such an informative video! I'm planning to set up smart systems for me and my husband's first apartment together, and controlling the lights for when we're too lazy to get up is a super useful feature. Same goes for the sensors, as well as the smart vacuum. These are just so convenient and a bump up in quality of life 💖
This is awesome! I’m moving into a 800sqft one bed and assumed I would only need to by one google home hub because of how small the apt. is LOL but now I see why I will in fact need more!
I just watch this as the third video back to back. This was awesome. I did not even know about some of these. THANK U. I used to get creeped out my Alexa devices hence why I have an echo dot for like three years now that I don’t use but u gave me the nudge.
I’m moving into my apartment in May and for the last three days I’ve been watching all of your videos 😂 I have a list on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart based on things you’ve recommended. Thank you for the simplicity and effectiveness of your videos. I’m so excited to move so I can get things set up!
This was a wealth of information and congratulations on 10k 🎉🎉🎉 The most useful for me would be the echo show. I would use it in my kitchen because I like to listen to jazz or watch TH-cam videos while I cook. It’s a good distraction from the fact that I hate being in the kitchen 😂
This was a definite long awaited video! I am slowly setting up my smart home ecosystem. But I love the iPad and how you have everything connected. Your video will help me get my ecosystem organized. I definitely would love to have smart lighting and switches in every room, as we as the Phillips hue for the entertainment system… very cool! Thank you!
I would say the most useful tech would be the smart motion detectors. I love that the light automatically turns on in your bathroom when you walk in it. In the morning when I am half asleep and going into the restroom, it would be nice to have the light automatically turned on. I’ve been waiting for this video. Can’t wait to make my home a smart home. Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
The most useful thing for me for a smart home will be the smart thermostat and lighting. Currently just moved to a 1BDR apartment myself, and it will be nice to have those 2 components sorted automatically when I’m home and when I’m out anywhere on my phone😌
Oh girl I liked the video way before the end! All this has been so helpful! I’m moving to a new apt. by the end of the year and this time I want to do it right and create a different vibe. Alexa in general would be SO helpful especially since I’ve gotten into cooking way more since the pandemic.
The most useful thing for me would definitely be the security component. This is great information! I’m getting more into smart devices for my home so videos like this really help!
I just stumbled across this video after watching your Holiday Hosting Tips video and I LOVE IT HERE!!! I've never considered making my home a smart home but now I am really interested. Can't wait to get started.
Very refreshing to see this. I got into Philip Hues lighting system…stripes, bulbs, stands but need to also get the smart switch since I have lil ones and a hubby that just won’t PH be great especially when the turn it off vs. using their devices to control it lol. I will definitely keep this video and use it a guide for my next project. Very well done. Thank you.
Girl! I am buying my first home and this video was right on time! Thank you so much for all the gems. I really liked the wifi tap thingy lol. Most of my family is Apple users though so I don’t know how well it would work. I may try it out anyway though, but I’m for sure going to try the iPad wall mount. ♥️
The most useful thing I'd use is the lighting because my husband is allergic to turning them off 😂 and a smart doorbell for security reasons. What I found to be the most useful in this video was your morning alarm and being able to turn the lights on and off from anywhere. Congrats on the 10k 🎉
I believe the most wonderful device that you have that really perks my curiosity and the sensor is someone is in the living room it alerts you this is movement in the living room at night when you're sleeping I think that will be my favorite. From Minneapolis Minnesota
Wow. I finally fine aBlack Lady Tech.. I thought i was the only one that have 6 Alexa Echo with the Digital Clock. 6 Google Nest Mini. 6 Google Next Speakers, Displays, Bulbs, Sensors, Curtains, Blinds, TV's, & So On. Fully Smart.
I thought about using an indoor camera, but the Boss of this operation ain't having it! She has a one word answer; NO! All other cameras run on Blue Iris software which is complex, but awesome. I have QuickSet touch screen locks that can be controlled from anywhere and also work in conjunction with my alarm system. You'll love them once you get them. I also have smart light switches, dimmers, plugs and motion sensors, but haven't made the jump to IFTTT; yet. Anyway, great video! And I love the wifi tap. I didn't know that existed. I'll look that up in a sec.
Omgee I need all of this! I have 2 Alexa’s in a studio and I want another one 😭 the lights is a total game changer, tho! Adding these to my cart right NEOW
For me its the smart vacuum. That is one piece of smRt tech I never knew I needed. Even after sweeping the old school way, that thing still picks up dirt. I have a dog name Bentley too!!!
Finally a video that explains what I needed! I have been looking for a video to help me start a smart home without telling me all the tech details. I just want to know what to buy and how I can make it work in my home! This is perfect. Thank you!!
The security cameras would be the most useful to me! I just moved into my new apartment and we don’t have any type of security. I also have a Frenchie puppy that I’d like to keep an eye on while I’m gone. I get so anxious when I leave him home alone 😣. Love your video!
Damn this made me want to have an smart appartment too! I like the echo show for the kitchen for TH-cam, recipes , music and more its nice to be hands free in the kitchen as you cook and clean.
I find your videos so incredibly informative. Congratulations on 11K‼️ since moving into my new apartment, I have intentions of having lots of get together‘s. So the Wi-Fi tap is very convenient.
The most useful smart tech for me is definitely the vacuum! The smart home tech I'm most excited about is the Phillips hue! I"m moving soon and this is one of the first pieces of smart tech I'm buying! Thanks girl! I'm getting so many apartment design tips from you!!
First of all Congratulations on your success🙌🏾!!! I just moved to my own apartment like months ago and everything you talked about just gave me some ideas and knowledge. I love how you took your time to explain. For me I like everything technology and I can’t just pick one cause I love it all. Good luck to everyone🙏🏾
The most useful tech for me would be the morning wake up alerts. Currently I’m limited to alarms which are too aggressive and I don’t want to be woken up by music (as I may not recognize that as a queue to wake up). Having a device gradually set notices and starting the morning with the news (or even having the option to pick how I want to be woken up) would be very useful. The Phillips Hue lights set up as a blinking timer would also be useful for me. I’m realizing a need for time management efficiency here in both my picks. Lol
I love all your smart devices. One of my favorite smart devices that I've used in my home is my smartblinds. I never have to manually open or close any window blinds. Keep up the good work...
Is Alexa etc nosy (listening when it shouldn't ) and does it recognize other voices ? The most useful thing for me from the video is; smart lighting, smart switches, smart plugs, multipurpose sensors, and the smart vacuum (that's a life savior).
She’s only supposed to respond to the wake word so technically she’s always listening to hear that word! But I wouldn’t think she’s anymore nosy than my iPhone lol
I think everything feature in this video would be perfect to have. I work the whole day (leave to work really early and come back home late) and I'm always worried that someone would brake to my home or I'm scare to arrive and see everything gone. I need something or somethings to simulate that there's someone at home (you know voices, turning lights on or noises etc.) Like always great video 💜
Great video! I have a dog as well and the most useful thing for me would be the thermostat. Being able to make sure he is in a well conditioned environment would be great!
This was an amazing video. I recently purchased a home, and was looking into automation, and everything you have in this video is useful to me. I'm looking into Google products, but I may have to choose a few Alexa products to get a similar effect as you do
The most useful for me would definitely be the echo show. I would use it in my kitchen as I spend a lot of time in there and I'm always trying to watch and do things on my phone. I also really like the wifi thing. I need to look into getting one. Thanks for all the tips and congrats on 11K!
I have been waiting for this video and it’s right on time because I’m moving this week! I currently have two dots (3v) and plugs for each for my 600sqft apt but I want a major upgrade to all (majority) things smart for my new home. The most useful things I know I can use is the security products and the Phillips hue lights which are nice! This helps my decisions soo much.
Defo would love a smart home for when I buy my own home in the uk, the lights behind the tv are awesome! I have blink already so I may buy into the Amazon ecosystem. Great video xx
Haha, I love everything you showcased but I think the echo show is probably what I’d find the most useful. I’m often trying to follow recipes on my phone and watching TV at the same time while cooking 🥴 would probably save me time and ingredients if I didn’t have to go between my phone and TV lolol. Thanks for the content ❤️
I’m currently making my apartment smart as well.. I really like the Phillips hue but yes super expensive.. I need to get a dot for my bathroom now that u mentioned it
Great video! I am working on making my house more smart! Love the Phillips Hue-need to tap into more of the automations. I like the smart WiFi tap idea but I have an IPhone-lol. The IPad on the wall was a great idea too!
The most useful smart home tech for me honestly would be the security system and being able to see who’s at my door without going to my door just for safety reasons.
Great video. I love the wake up feature of Alexa and I love to tell my Alexa goodnight and it turns the lights off. I’ve just started changing out the lightbulbs and it’s a game changer. 💕
Definitely love the smart lights. Not having to get out of my comfy bed to turn the lights off/on is a plus. Love your videos btw, very inspiring. Congrats on reaching 10k 👏🏾👏🏾
This is the first time I have ever heard of NFC tags and smart switches and smart plugs I am definitely going to buy all 3 and I would like to get an Alexa to operate everything thank you so much for all that information
I am enjoying your videos so much. I feel like you represent myself and my group of friends. I'm not techy at all, been in a complete slump with my home. And you have given me so many ideas. Can't wait till you buy a home. I'm sure you are going to go crazy with Decorating, design and Tech!
I think the most useful would be the lights or the smart plugs that control the lights. I would LOVE to control my lights from my bed or couch because there's nothing worse than being warm and cozy, under a soft blanket, while watching Catfish and eating food that you spent too much on from doordash, then having to physically GET UP and turn the lights off😭. Or maybe I'm just lazy
We live in a rented apartment. And I Want to learn more about the motion sensors with the lights to come on and off in our two bathrooms. I use a bunch of smart homes like a Alexa, Phillip Hughes lights and Govee lights and all I need is just the nest thermostat. Really like the one you have.
The motion sensors are a pretty cheap and easy swap out from Home Depot or Lowe’s! They aren’t really smart lol. They aren’t connected to any apps or smart home AI’s but they get the job done.
[ i aspire for my future home to be a smart home. i’m a tech junky, so this is right down my alley ] but the most useful thing for me would definitely be the lighting! i just moved into a new apartment, and while i looooove it. i don’t think the electricians were thinking logically with the electrical set up. i have lightning in my office, the kitchen, and the closets in my bedroom, but not in the living room and my actual bedroom lol. and the places where there IS lighting, the light switches are in such inconvenient places. so if i could control that with the touch of a button on my phone, or a central hub.. *chefs kiss* 👩🏾🍳🤌🏾
All of the “a” products were eye opening. I was leaning toward google products for my smart home, but you’ve changed my mind! Just bought a home, so I’m excited to make it a smart home!
I actually think Google is a better AI. I’ve just been with Alexa for so long is hard to make the switch! But if I were starting all over again I’d go with Google!
The smart lighting system is definitely what I find the most useful. It would be wonderful to yell out when to cut something on & it actually happens. Lol. That set up reminds me of the clap on, clap off lights back in the day 🤣
Sabrina, if I was blind, I already have an Amazon Alexa echodot, that which I've been using for 2 different things. I have a Cosori SMART air fryer and I also use the echo dot to listen to meditating and soothing music to go to sleep at night. But that I would love to, if my apartment community would allow, to make my old stove and oven SMART with a smart speaker, as I am almost TOTALLY BLIND.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but have you looked into an August Smart Lock Pro? It let's you keep your existing deadbolt, but allows you all the smart features you desire.
Mute your Alexa’s 🥰
Yea she’s definitely going off as I’m watching your video
Lol
I definitely didn’t know that Alexa will give you a heads up vs my iPhone alarm assassinating me every morning. I also really love the motion sensor Ed bathroom lights. That’s a whole vibe. Thanks for all the new tips!

I really like the smart lighting system, especially as a female when coming home late so that I won't have to worry about searching for the light switch in the dark.
I love the idea of smart lights with sensors. It’s very useful when coming home at night with handful stuffs or going to the restroom in the middle of the night. So I don’t need to find light switches.

The most important part of a smart setup in my opinion is the brains, the virtual assistant. Having a smart display or speaker can really change how you operate a smart living space! Awesome video, thanks for sharing your setup with us!!!
Awesome video 👏🏿👏🏿, can't wait to do this to my apartment!
I’d definitely use the iPad with the mount! Love the idea of having it as the central spot; especially with company! Enjoyed this video ❤️
Loved this idea! Where can i purchase the iPad mount and Wi-Fi tap thingy lol?
I love the idea too! I'm trying to find the difference between the $155 version she has by VidaMount and the $70 version by TabCare.
Loved the idea of having the iPad mounted to the wall to control everything. I totally need a smart vacuum though.
18k girl congrats and people are looking for you just hold on tight and thanks for holding it down for the girls. Most techy video's are done by guys so I am very happy to have found your channel and the video was so informative with the necessary links your are the bomb.
I appreciate this comment so much! I want to share my interest but I do get discouraged when I see that my smart home videos don’t do as well! But I want to be representation in this male dominated space!
It’s so refreshing to see a woman in the home automation space, keep it up!
This was an amazing video that gives more insight on what I want to put into my future home.

The iPad mount is more useful than I thought it would be!

This is awesome! I’m moving into a 800sqft one bed and assumed I would only need to by one google home hub because of how small the apt. is LOL but now I see why I will in fact need more!
I started with 1 and ended up with 6 😂!
I just watch this as the third video back to back. This was awesome. I did not even know about some of these. THANK U. I used to get creeped out my Alexa devices hence why I have an echo dot for like three years now that I don’t use but u gave me the nudge.
I’m moving into my apartment in May and for the last three days I’ve been watching all of your videos 😂 I have a list on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart based on things you’ve recommended. Thank you for the simplicity and effectiveness of your videos. I’m so excited to move so I can get things set up!
The most useful thing for me would be the echo show. I enjoy cooking in the kitchen and watching shows/ cooking recipes at the same time.
This was a wealth of information and congratulations on 10k 🎉🎉🎉 The most useful for me would be the echo show. I would use it in my kitchen because I like to listen to jazz or watch TH-cam videos while I cook. It’s a good distraction from the fact that I hate being in the kitchen 😂

Convinced me to get the Wi-Fi tap lol. Perfect addition to our smart home tech and upcoming events. Thanks!
I love the hue sync in the living room it is just so cool for lights to sync for movies

Allergic to them 😭😭 I felt that bc I was too 😂 and thank you 😊
How do you set your Alexa to give you a pre alarm cue?
I believe the most wonderful device that you have that really perks my curiosity and the sensor is someone is in the living room it alerts you this is movement in the living room at night when you're sleeping I think that will be my favorite. From Minneapolis Minnesota
the smart plug and the echo are a must
Wow. I finally fine aBlack Lady Tech.. I thought i was the only one that have 6 Alexa Echo with the Digital Clock.
6 Google Nest Mini. 6 Google Next Speakers, Displays, Bulbs, Sensors, Curtains, Blinds, TV's, & So On. Fully Smart.

Glad I could help ☺️
I have a question for the ipad do you have a plug behind it to keep it charged or do you take it out to charge it?
I take it out to charge it bc I live in an apartment and don’t want to run power behind the walls. I only have to charge it once a week.
First of all Congratulations on your success🙌🏾!!! I just moved to my own apartment like months ago and everything you talked about just gave me some ideas and knowledge. I love how you took your time to explain. For me I like everything technology and I can’t just pick one cause I love it all. Good luck to everyone🙏🏾

I also have my lights gradually fade into a daylight setting in my room so it’s naturally wakes me up! I also hate aggressive alarms lol!
Omg I wanted a echo spot last time I saw it was last year. The smart plugs for the under the cabinet lighting is genius lol.
Love WIFI tap and IPAD Mount on the wall.
I love all your smart devices. One of my favorite smart devices that I've used in my home is my smartblinds. I never have to manually open or close any window blinds. Keep up the good work...
I have to try those!! I’ll put it on my list!

@@SabrinaLatoya you're welcome 🤗
Smart thermostat. To be able to regulate the temperature when you are not home would be great to save some $.
I love the idea of a smart thermostat. I live in Canada so we have crazy cold winters and hot summers so that would be super helpful.
I have been waiting for this video and it’s right on time because I’m moving this week! I currently have two dots (3v) and plugs for each for my 600sqft apt but I want a major upgrade to all (majority) things smart for my new home. The most useful things I know I can use is the security products and the Phillips hue lights which are nice! This helps my decisions soo much.
Love having my lights turn on when I get home especially at night!! Good luck on your move 😊
Defo would love a smart home for when I buy my own home in the uk, the lights behind the tv are awesome! I have blink already so I may buy into the Amazon ecosystem. Great video xx
Haha, I love everything you showcased but I think the echo show is probably what I’d find the most useful. I’m often trying to follow recipes on my phone and watching TV at the same time while cooking 🥴 would probably save me time and ingredients if I didn’t have to go between my phone and TV lolol. Thanks for the content ❤️
I’m currently making my apartment smart as well.. I really like the Phillips hue but yes super expensive.. I need to get a dot for my bathroom now that u mentioned it
I love your smart lights. It gives the vibes and make home feel so comfy❤️
I would use the smart lighting. Such a vibe!
Great video! I am working on making my house more smart! Love the Phillips Hue-need to tap into more of the automations. I like the smart WiFi tap idea but I have an IPhone-lol. The IPad on the wall was a great idea too!
I love this. I just bought a condo, and I can’t wait to upgrade it. I definitely want smart locks.
The most useful smart home tech for me honestly would be the security system and being able to see who’s at my door without going to my door just for safety reasons.
The most useful thing for me would be the security camera!
Girl your channel is GOLD! Thank you for everything
As my elderly mother now lives with me, the most benefit would be navigating the lights and the TV with alexa or smart switch.
Awesome. I love everything. Thank you
Great video. I love the wake up feature of Alexa and I love to tell my Alexa goodnight and it turns the lights off. I’ve just started changing out the lightbulbs and it’s a game changer. 💕
Lights are definitely a game changer!!
Love de video ..... Wanted to know more but didn't find so much info.... Thanks....🙂👏👌
Definitely love the smart lights. Not having to get out of my comfy bed to turn the lights off/on is a plus. Love your videos btw, very inspiring. Congrats on reaching 10k 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you 😊
This is the first time I have ever heard of NFC tags and smart switches and smart plugs I am definitely going to buy all 3 and I would like to get an Alexa to operate everything thank you so much for all that information
Glad I could help!!
I love all your smart home updates! Love to see it grow, and gives me some ideas, too!
I am enjoying your videos so much. I feel like you represent myself and my group of friends. I'm not techy at all, been in a complete slump with my home. And you have given me so many ideas. Can't wait till you buy a home. I'm sure you are going to go crazy with Decorating, design and Tech!
I can’t wait for the day to come to own a home! I’ll continuing praying until I do!!!
I think the most useful would be the lights or the smart plugs that control the lights. I would LOVE to control my lights from my bed or couch because there's nothing worse than being warm and cozy, under a soft blanket, while watching Catfish and eating food that you spent too much on from doordash, then having to physically GET UP and turn the lights off😭. Or maybe I'm just lazy
We live in a rented apartment. And I Want to learn more about the motion sensors with the lights to come on and off in our two bathrooms. I use a bunch of smart homes like a Alexa, Phillip Hughes lights and Govee lights and all I need is just the nest thermostat. Really like the one you have.
The motion sensors are a pretty cheap and easy swap out from Home Depot or Lowe’s! They aren’t really smart lol. They aren’t connected to any apps or smart home AI’s but they get the job done.
[ i aspire for my future home to be a smart home. i’m a tech junky, so this is right down my alley ] but the most useful thing for me would definitely be the lighting! i just moved into a new apartment, and while i looooove it. i don’t think the electricians were thinking logically with the electrical set up. i have lightning in my office, the kitchen, and the closets in my bedroom, but not in the living room and my actual bedroom lol. and the places where there IS lighting, the light switches are in such inconvenient places. so if i could control that with the touch of a button on my phone, or a central hub.. *chefs kiss* 👩🏾🍳🤌🏾
I feel you on that! I had zero lighting in my living room as well! Every light I added myself! Not sure why they do that in living rooms lol
All of the “a” products were eye opening. I was leaning toward google products for my smart home, but you’ve changed my mind! Just bought a home, so I’m excited to make it a smart home!
I actually think Google is a better AI. I’ve just been with Alexa for so long is hard to make the switch! But if I were starting all over again I’d go with Google!
The smart lights would be great to have because I hate getting up to turn off lights lol. Also, I really just like the aesthetic of color LED lights.
U literally have my dream home tech set up! I will come back to get any inspirations to set mine up! 🙂
The smart lighting system is definitely what I find the most useful. It would be wonderful to yell out when to cut something on & it actually happens. Lol. That set up reminds me of the clap on, clap off lights back in the day 🤣
lol love the clap on days!
The most useful items I would use would be the echo show, nest thermostat and WiFi Porter. Congrats on 10k+! 🎉
Thank you
Sabrina, if I was blind, I already have an Amazon Alexa echodot, that which I've been using for 2 different things. I have a Cosori SMART air fryer and I also use the echo dot to listen to meditating and soothing music to go to sleep at night. But that I would love to, if my apartment community would allow, to make my old stove and oven SMART with a smart speaker, as I am almost TOTALLY BLIND.
The most useful thing I would use is the smart sensor, because I live alone and they would in handy walking into my home.
Definitely useful for women who live alone!
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but have you looked into an August Smart Lock Pro? It let's you keep your existing deadbolt, but allows you all the smart features you desire.
