Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
please advice what device need to run TV,AC and Amplifier?
2:55 it's now possible to change from armed to disarmed with Mode Schedules on the Ring app; I just saw the new feature today
Is it possible to show a video from amazon echo show on a tv?
It would be nice if there was a sound detection where if a phone rings alexa announces to pick up a phone

Where can I find the clock radio that Echo fits in?
This little Echo Dot has great Newest.Technology sound quality. I bought it because it was on sale for $19.99, not expecting the powerful little speaker in it. Highly recommend the purchase.
still impatiently waiting for the alexa custom sounds recognition (my first application would be teaching alexa how the washing machine cycle finish sounds like, and just have a speaker in the bathroom, it would save a lot of… complexity.. i just bought a raspberry pi3b and installed home assistant and bought a door sensor and a smart plug.. just to get a reminder regarding washed clothes :)))
I wish I can hire you to do all these to my house 👍
Tapo light bulbs do change in colour depending on the time of day and they are not Philips Hue means they are much cheaper
Anyone know the name of that desk lamp beside the batman light? Also great vid!
Hey I want to setup a animation so when I walk in my room the lights turn on but I also want a rfid thing like u have to turn it off is this possible?
The moment you have your own weather station is the moment your rich.
This video was awesome. You gave me so many ideas 🙂
I’m addicted to watching your channel! I’m starting to buy smart home stuff for my parents house and your channel has given so many great ideas!!! I’ve been binge watching for days!!!
Loved the Bo Burnham reference at the end.
Imagine his kids trying to sneak out.
You can unarm Ring in the morning within the Ring app
Lovely and discreet!
Can you link a routine to a specific echo device? I just can't find any way to do that!
While the tips are great… how about the comedy.. .NICE! 🙂
Hi, Reed. I came back to watch this again because I'm adding more smart switches and want to trigger them with Alexa routines. I need to be able to turn a light on when any of several doors to my garage are opened. The only thing I can find is that multiple voice commands can now trigger the same routine, which you mention in this video. But how do I allow for multiple sensors to trigger a routine? It seems silly to have to create the same routine X times for the exact same behavior just from a second, third or fourth door, window or motion sensor. Thanks!
Great ideas! I just bought that Broadlink button & hub. Been looking for something like that for my wife to use at night. One idea I haven't seen mentioned: a widget for Android called Buttons for Alexa. It allows you to voice-record Alexa commands and then (silently) trigger them from widgets. One widget can toggle 2 commands (like on/off) and show an indicator. Any png image w/transp can be used as the widget icons (or it has built in flat icons.) I use an old Android tablet with Launcher 10 that splits the screen into nice tiles that hold the widgets. It makes for a really nice custom control panel that's pretty flawless since it's speaking directly to Alexa via pre-recorded triggers. About the only issue is a slight delay, but I don't mind it. Also while it works fine for me, my wife doesn't want a lit screen at night in the bedroom- so for her I hope to set up those physical buttons.

im stupid
Now that you have an Ecobee Smart Thermostat, are you able to use any of their sensors with Alexa automations? I don't seem how to individualize the door sensors without going through Ecobee.
I have a ring 3 door bell, getting a firestick to see my doorbell on my TV, but if my firestick is in HDMI2 and I'm using HDMI1 how do I get it to change the HDMI source automatically to the firestick 🤔🤔
Any idea how you'd play custom audios in routine whether it's through YouTube or a file?
Do Ring Alarm (Gen 1) motion and door sensors work with Alexa routines? I can’t seem to get them to work. HELP!! 😩
You can use a routine to disarm Ring

This is SO cool! I've wanted to do something like this but didn't know if I could with the dots.
I don't own any of these devices yet, but this helps me decide what to buy IMMENSELY.
Thanks for these videos!
Sooo watching media that includes snoring will false trigger the asleep routine but otherwise great vid!
Hey, how can you make Alexa day a customs phrase? For example at 1:32 in the announce section down below
