The criticism of Home Assistant is very valid. It's not quite fully plug and play, but if you can get past the initial learning curve, it is so rewarding.
Nice review video. I migrated recently from Athom's Homey towards Home Assistant and I must say I like both. Homey has integrations with a lot of 3rd party vendors and has multiple solutions for Hue for example and it has almost all protocols available (Z-wave, IR, RF, BT and Zigbee). It is quite user friendly as well so that helps. Home Assistant on the other hand is complicated at first (even for someone with an IT background), but when you are used to it, it's great. Thanks fo' the video
There was a very interesting home project I saw a guy make called the internet time machine. He built a little router with a tiny computer inside of it that connected up to the way back machine. The router had a knob and an LCD display that allowed you to change what month and year it was connected to. It would trick any computer connecting to it to get its web pages from the way back machine instead of from the real internet. You could literally dial in what year and month you wanted to view online. It was for intended for use with retro computers, so you could view the past web on old machines.
That's a pretty fun computer. I like the concept. I wish those web archives were a little better. Most are missing a lot of content. They are still fun. I look up Afro-Squad stuff on occasion on them!

I can't believe your wife locked you out of the house. You have such a beautiful house. Glad you have a smart lock now.
Boy, you have to be one of the most popular reviewers online. I see you everywhere. KISSES AND HUGS adam

I am part of the Adam fan club. I buy all his stuff. lol
Love your videos. An excellent and straightforward explanation
I wish there was a perfect hub but each has pros and cons. What’s running your smart home right now?
I got the gateway connected but it can’t find the lock. Any suggestions?

USBA is easy because it is easy to setup and every computer has it.
Alriht folks. Thanks for making such a cool video. What exactly does a hub do and why do I need one
Do they make a solar powered version of this?
Hi does this gateway works with a xiaomi smart lock ?
Have the gateway and lock still wont unlock unless im within Bluetooth range
Funny thing is when you said "Alexa", it also activated my Echo. You should've muted "Alexa" when you said it. But great video though.
Good call!
I love that it conencts to Alexa.
Please help. Mine keeps disconnecting.
Im not sure if I want Alexa to be able to unlock my front door. What if somebody yells that from ourdoors? lol
