Can that camera see your face though if you zoom in? B cause what matters is seeing the person

My eufy baby monitor has crappy range. Im really worried these wont reach the base station in my home

Thanks for a great video! Any update with the three features that weren’t working 6months ago. Considering it for Black Friday.

Can you get a hub that works with different namebrand switches and plugs?

It is currently 11/24/24. Does anyone know if the S3 Pro is now ready to record 24/7? I heard that EUFY is getting ready to release this feature but I have not heard anything about it.

I just got my first S3 Pro and I most like it a lot. But I wish the zones worked like the NEST Cams (which I'm moving away from). I don't want the zones to stop something from being recorded. I ONLY want them to stop the alerts for that zone, but if there is motion I still want them to be recorded. For example I would like every car that comes in my driveway to be recorded but I don't need an alert every time they do. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this on the EUFY.

I think the LifX tube will work with the IKEA Boja lamp. 💡😊

I would love these lights in long strips to go inside windows 🙏 I have some from Amazon but they are not long enough 😞

We have just had new windows in our house and we used to put Christmas lights around the windows (wooden) but now it's pvc so there's no way to do it !.......Im wondering how I'd get some govee lights to fit inside the windows ? The defused lights would be amazing.....

Hey, Brian! I was wondering about the pressure mat. I know you said it works with Home Assistant, but it also says it’s esphome compatible. I don’t know anything about esphome, but would this mat work in Homey Pro using the esphome community app? It has a “when” card for “when weight changed”.

You mentioned about using m3 hub, i have ordered m2 hub, you think automations will work only with m3?please advise

Wondering….can you buy the solar charger for the new ring doorbell camera? Also….if I wanted to purchase the chime unit for inside my home so I can hear the doorbell like a traditional doorbell what would you recommend?

Excellent

Brian, are you still using homey as your hub of choice? Hows the reliability of it? The new dashboards are tempting me over from hubitat.

The clothing comes in PLASTIC BAGS!

Run from Deco, their software sucks big time.

Hi Brian Thank you for the video. I wonder, how do you negotiate insurance discounts? Do you just call them and tell that you automated this? Do they verify somehow?

Happy Thanksgiving Brian. I know it isn't Thanksgiving there, but have a happy one anyway. :) Dress warm too.

It bugs me the mesh network doesnt carry a matter mesh backbone.

I use an aranet4 for CO2. But gotta say you need to pay a lot of attention to the CO2 sensor when looking at sensors. Not all are rhe same.

Thanks for sharing Brian.

Brian, please tell me that this is wrong - if it is. I have been hearing that Ring will turn over YOUR recordings from YOUR doorbell camera if Law Enforcement ask Ring for it. You have no say in the matter, if they do or not. Care to tell us what you have learned?

TP-Link Deco mesh routers have a feature never seen on another manufacturer. Connection Preference. This allows you to assign a specific device to a closer node if you wish. Got a device that seems to fall offline to often? Maybe its signal is weak, and it doesn't see to connect to the physically closest node? Connection Preference allows you to assign to a node AND it stays connected to that node. Made a difference on my Wyze cams.

The rubber "gasket" is not just for thinner pipes. It should ALWAYS be used since steel and copper should not touch. They react and cause the copper pipes to corrode and possibly cause pinhole leaks.

How tall is this valve from the pips to the top off the valve ? Do anyone got an idea ? i got limited space where my valves are. Since they are inside a special cabinet.

Really enjoyed your video. As always informative and honest which is why I come back every week to watch the channel.

Hey Brian, Been a while! I have recently bought two Switchbot Meter Pro CO2 that I have placed in our movie room and bedroom. I found out that when I connected the CO2 meters to both Smartthings och Google Home the CO2 meters shows up twice, as to be expected. As per my finding this is what is happening. -If Switchbot is connected with Smartthings and Smartthings in turn is connected with Google Home = CO2 monitor is presented once with only temperature in Google Home. (In Smartthings, CO2 Monitor is presented with temperature and humidity) -If Switchbot is connected only with Google Home = CO2 monitor is presented with temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in Google Home. -If Switchbot is connected with both Smartthings and Google Home = CO2 monitor is presented twice, one with only temperature and one with temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in Google Home. Great news update btw. Pia sends her regards! //Peter

The SwitchBot Meter Pro CO2 is probably one of my favorite smart home sensors this year. CO2 levels in my apartment turned out to be waaay worse than I thought.

1:34 What's a jif upload? Something to do with peanut butter?

The light curtain would look great behind some frosted glass

Personally not a fan of things like those Govee curtains. Fwiw… It’s like pulling the streets of Tokyo into your living room. Anything that pushes us too far away from nature(natural lighting and materials) is a bad idea imo. Looks…unsophisticated/immature and can destroy a homes ambiance. Not a knock on the channel but the specific product. All these other products that make life easier and more enjoyable in a less conspicuous way are great. That bluetti unit looks interesting for sure. 🍻

I'm part of a community of beta testers for Aqara and there are some big problems.The U200 lock does not fulfill all its promises and in addition, several members have lost their connections with HomeKit. There are even members who say their lock no longer works at all! And that's not to mention that some other devices, like water heating thermostats, stop working too. All, under a great silence from Aqara programmers!

ThirdReality Soil Sensor for automation which zigbee hub is needed?

I'm happy about the Switchbot meter being able to show whatever sensor you want. I've wanted that since I first got my outdoor meters. I also like the Third Reality soil sensor. I've found that there isn't much to choose from in that category, and the ones I bought last year aren't smart; they just connect to their own hub/app. I do worry about the zigbee signal being able to go as far as I'd need it to though. Finally, I wonder if the new Ring Doorbell is more reliable than the Pro 2 I have. Seems like that thing is always failing in some way, whether it be showing the camera on the Echo Shows when someone rings or starting routines. Mine has been awful for both of those things, but I haven't been able to determine if the problem is with Eero, Alexa, or Ring. Ugh.

Those curtain lights look cool. I wonder if there is a DIY / WLED way of doing this. This would be great for your front window for holidays like Halloween or Christmas 🎄

Any news on when we will see the U300 lock in the UK?

How did you get a clock display on your echo dot 5 ?

I live in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Redwood forest, and my 81 yr old Mum lives five minutes away from my husband and I. We’ve just moved back into our house, which we’ve rebuilt after it burned in the 2020 lightening storm that was generated by wild fires. My Mum is also rebuilding their house, which also burned down. They never lived there, as they had moved into our town to be closer to us and to pay off their mortgage and get into a less costly home. They bought it and completely remodeled the whole home, three bathrooms, kitchen, flooring and all. It wasn’t a smart home in any way and it had some quirky design flaws, and two stories, which was difficult for my very ailing Dad. Then they moved all of their worldly possessions, photos, artwork and jewelry, out of storage containers and into the new home. Then, before they had time to unpack or make arrangements to move into it, it was burnt down. Cinders. But they decided to rebuild the home, unsure if they’d live in or sell it. Sadly, shortly after the rebuild got under way, my father passed away from an undetected cancer all through his body. He passed on March 19. So Mum is heartbroken and putting all her energy into rebuilding the home. She had made it a single story so it’s something she can easily manage as she ages if she decides to live there. She loves her independence and drives her mini or Dad’s Tacoma, up and down the windy mountain roads through all weather. I want to be able to keep an eye on her, with her acknowledgement of course, that triggers an alert to my phone if there is any fast or erratic movement or some kind of commotion inside the home. I’d also like to find a comfortable piece of jewelry that looks good too (she’s vain, as am I); something that alerts my phone if she has a dangerous pulse or heart rate, or if she falls, which has happened enough times for me to want to monitor it, as I will often be able to get to her quickly or can call someone who can. We live in a neighborly community where everyone is willing to look out for each other. But the problem is this: we have sooooo many unforeseen power outages in the winter (and a fair share in the summertime too), that we need back up power generators or batteries. As we are on a long wait list for batteries but eventually will both have the Tesla ones soon (ETA: March maybe, we’re not sure so this winter is a huge concern!) But looking to the future, what are my best possible and easy products to choose from?

Im tied weather to go with eufy or reolink. Its a tuff choice

I have two Xiaomi 2k Pro cameras. Does anyone have experience with Echo Show 8 and Xiaomi cameras? GoogleHub have time limit and turn off stream after only few minutes ( I think 5 minutes is limit) . I am wondering if I can use Echo Show 5 or 8 as Baby Monitor, without time limit and interrupting stream for a longer period of time? (2-3-4 hours or more)

So I have this lock. Just installed it and I love it. Works with my Apple Home Kit/Key flawlessly, except for one thing. I added my wife on Home Kit to be able to access this. When she puts her phone up to it it acknowledges her phone with a check mark icon but then the lock does nothing. So her home key doesn’t really work. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Been trying it all.

I bought the valve hoping to connect to Hubitat but it isn’t supported yet. So I bought the M3 hub and I can’t get it to connect to that either. I see it trying to pair but I get a message, “you do not have permission to perform the operation (Network-755). Anyone familiar with this? I put in a ticket to Aqara via e-mail last night but no response as of yet. I tried installing and uninstalling the hub as well as resetting the valve multiple times with the same results every time.

They need to make a new version of the A100 deadbolt door lock, tht's their best lock, I need one of that with matter or zigbee that actually works with HA

Great video, Brian! I like the Bluetti products a. lot since I live near the coast in an area subject to hurricanes. You can run a tankless gas hot water heater easily with one and the one you have would run my gas furnace. Other things would be TVs that have an outside antenna, lots and lots of LED lights, as well as charge almost everything in your house, including your Narwal vacuum! Thank you.

Modal is basically Rayon from cellulose which is tree pulp aka paper.

Echo show 8 v3 finally available in QC !!!

Having some problems after adding more stuff , I now want to delete and start over but how do I delete it because when I try to do this within the ST app it does do anything.

10:00 good luck with the EU stone walls. It would never work. I need 3 wifi access points for 100% coverage in my home.

Can it do 24/7 while using solar power or does it need to connected to an outlet for that?
