That extra outer ring does not exist on our V3. hmm

You’re dog is the real MVP sitting so patiently

your dog is so lovely

AHH 6 years ago. Isn't that interesting. I just bought my first smart plugs, a 4 pack for less than $30 US. I guess things have changed a lot in that time.

Now that Google has this in tri band would it be the winner with both range and speed now?

I hate to say it by asains who make reviews dont really give a shit about your needs all dude man cares about it monetizing his video for profit. He can give a shit about if the product is good or not. His baby daddy sponsor is the one that collects

Uncomfortable talking to a device that's not human. Does exactly that for the whole length of the video :D

What in the literal fuck are those metrics to review by? "Package is hard to open"? Really?

I sub’d because of Monty.

but you love other people having eyes in your home?

I finally found a solution for me that changed my Smart Home from being frustrating as hell to perfect!! It was simply changing from Router Mode on my DECO TP Link mesh system to Access Point Mode. It completely stopped smart lights and other devices from disconnecting and becoming unresponsive. The Smart Home is now Smart all the time with no disconnects, Game Changer for me. The WIFI range didn't really change it was something in the Access Point mode that completely solved my frustrations and problems.

The dog!!! So precious!!!

omg the dog is actually listening lmao...aww

this dude is like the bad example of shit going wrong in teleshopping videos of the 80s :D "soooo frustrating" lmao

dog cute

That dog is Killing me!!! LOL

Can I use a smart plug for charging the battery on my mobility scooter

That dog looks like an animated toy. So cute!

The random places your dog is placed...really cute...kind of distracting because every time you're in a new room, I'm like, where's the 🐕

Your dog is in LOOOOOVE with U!

I need to set my mesh router as an AP with the rest as wireless to that. Be nice to see how easy it is to set up. Oh, and the gorgeous dog talks way too much.

I loved watching your miniature schnauzer watch you. We also have one but he wouldn’t sit like your little guys does. Oh and video was great also.

Thank you so much for details explaining how it works. Love 💕 that the beautiful dog was in the video. Great actor. So 🥰 cute

do this smart plugs slow down you wifi?

This needs a review. It's been 5 years. A lot has changed.

The dog at the beginning of the video is SOOO cute! The way he looks at his daddy is just priceless!!! Also, great informative video! I have a multitude of IoT lights in my house and the lag when turning them on and off is awful! I think a mesh network may soft the problem.

It’s fun getting educated and entertained at the same time! The video would not be the same without that adorable dog 🐶 😅

monty rocks so hard...!

I’m obviously in the minority but I don’t think this was a good review, or maybe it just didn’t age well. Keyless locks are very handy because you no longer have to carry or worry about leaving keys. I’ve had a keyless lock for about a year and when I changed over to my Sense I had no idea where I put the original key because I hadn’t use it in so long. As far as multiple keys, HD and Lowes will rekey it for free, or in the case of the Sense, it’s literally one screw to swap out the old cylinder and replace it with the old one so no need to rekey. You can actually just go with the one key since ideally you’ll be using the key pad. Schlage is generally considered to be a higher grade lock so it’s surprising that you chose the Premis. The Sense is more geared to HomeKit users - you can get a WiFi model for just a few bucks more instead of messing with the WiFi thing. I also use voice commands for my lock (HomeKit) because I can unlock the door before I even stop the car, plus you can set up scenes in conjunction with you smart garage door opener so that the door unlocks at the same time the garage door opens, plus you can add smart lights so you’re not in a dark or dimly lit garage. I’m also prone to forgetting to lock up at night so I have it set to automatically close at a set time and I can check it from my phone to make sure. The ability to set up access codes is great when you want some to do repairs or check on you pets. As you can see, I can go on and on about the benefits of smart lock - frankly they’re more handy than a bunch of other “smart” devices.

I would like to talk to you about this but I need to look up some info. I have used a night hawk for years I mean the one I'm using is at least 4 years old and it's still doing good.

You can do that in the app.

Puppy looks extremely intelligent 🤓 super cute

dosnt it google wifi running 5G but most of the smart devices require 2.4G? how to deal with this prob? thanks.

Hmmm I am swapping my 3 velop tri’s next week with 3 google 2 router one point (2nd router for a Ethernet port for ps5. I’ll let ya know. I’m only swapping cause I have a TON of google products in my home. 8 camera 4 hubs,doorbell , smoke detectors and lights. So I figured go with same brand for all.

Do you have an updated version of this Intro to Smart Plugs video? I'm looking to buy my first smart plugs but is it as straightforward as operating them through an app or do I need something like Alexa which I do not have. Thanks!

Had google mesh WiFi for about a year… it was good until an update ruined the puck.. wouldn’t talk to the router… got fed up and ditched the google WiFi for eero 6 plus… best move i ever did

I've just installed a lot of ikea Smart bulbs and ... Big issue - all of them go on after a general power fail!!!

This is still relevant now, 4 years later. All August locks up to V3 are similar. V4 changed slightly to more expensive batteries. The install process looks virtually identical, though I feel the August may be a little more secure with its adaptor? The August seems to be a little more polished as well. That said, I like that it has a handle on it where you have to grab the side of the August.... It's a had choice really. The thing that moves me slightly toward the Danalock V3 is the fact there is a Z-Wave version of it available as well. Other than that I really can't find a lot of differences. Though the battery life is pretty good. That said, the cost of 4 batteries over the 2 AA's in the August locks may counter each other. Hard choice

Who needs a router? I'm more interested in how I can adopt a dog like Monte. He is absolutely mellow.

Is there another way cuz I don’t have a box

A TV standby use of power averages $0.02/year ($100/year is the average cost of all appliances in 1 household) A TV only uses standby power to have the remote receiver on. A smart plug needs to be connected to the WiFi all the time, so will use much more standby power than a TV. So using a smart plug on a TV will actually increase your standby power use

Omg your dog is gorgeous 😍

*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

I know that dog has something to say

Do you know how to access to the External Storage (External Hard Disk) plugged in the USB port of the AX4200 via local network, mobile phone and remote access?

Beware all: plugging something in won’t necessarily turn it on. My humidifier for example, once plugged in, will be ready to be turned on but it won’t start humidifying. There needs to be a manual on/off button for that to work.

Thanks! Yours, interestingly, is the only review where the Orbi doesn't trounce all other systems on speed.

Your dog is so cute. He loves you so much. And great review too :-)

Fwiw, I got the Orbi a few years ago… and have been happy Generally, I find that metal…. Like in a kitchen… is worse than bricks for killing wifi signal…. The Orbi has a couple of nice features…. Now it is older and has a discounted price, The separate channel function is valuable … basically, they have a totally separate router circuit to link the remote stations…. This way the connection to the remote is not absorbing bandwidth going to your devices. Finally, I like that the remote has a wired network connection…. Which uses the separate channel…. So again, it does not share bandwidth with your wireless devices That said, I do not game so do not need enormous bandwidth

Dog was trying to tune you out. lol. Good video though.
