Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Thanks for watching! Is there anything you would recommend to someone getting started on a budget?
I've watched a lot of Smart home videos now but something I haven't seen that I had he idea for a while ago and is brilliant, connecting an electric blanket to a smart plug! that way you can either tell google/alexa etc. to heat up your bed before you get in, saving you walking upstairs or whatever or if you have a set bedtime you stick to every night you can set it to a routine so your bed is always nice and toasty when you go to get in! I have not seen a single person with this concept!
Would a 2022 update be possible please? Love the content!
Hi Reed, can you do an updated 2022 version of this video?
Nice
Given the amount of money you've spent, why not just use something like Lutron RA3?
The wyze sensors are no longer available is there an alternative?
3:40 considering the garage door openers, I live in an apartment community and being that our vehicles can have remote buttons to open n close the doors, and being that I'm often parked outside of the garage, if someone were to break into my truck they could easily get into my garage via the remote button. What kind of ideas you have for that?
Thanks for bleeping out "Alexa"!
I was wondering why you bleeped out Alexa, and then realized that my Alexa doesn’t hear you! How very clever and considerate to do that, bc Alexa picking up on commands from a videos can be annoying!
Why do you keep on learning the word Alexa not a swear word you can use it on YouTube you're not going to get copyrighted
We need to automate to close windows so with automation both blinds, windows closes together.
Would not recommend the myQ these days. Automating it in anyway requires a paid subscription
Is alexa or google nest better for your smart home? Or which is better for what?
Great video thank you. Can these work with Google ecosystem? I just purchased the hub max and wanted to keep the same. Tia!
That's funny in USA you dont Rembertów to close garage in Poland od you left open garage somebody will steal your car
And does the garage opener work with homekit?
Do the wyze routines work with homekit too?
I have the Kasa smart dimmer and Kasa smart switches along with a few Kasa smart plugs. The ONLY issue I have had with Kasa is you can only set 3 routines to happen at the same time. But when you connect Kasa to your Alexa it eliminates that problem. We also live out in the country so we have super slow internet and the smart switches cause us ZERO internet issues.
1000/10 recommend Kasa!
Fantastic video. Thank you.
