@@GadgetInspector honestly, I have a bad habit of looking at reviews of a product after I get the product even though I'll be pleased with it. That's kind of why I'm here, lol Also when I saw this comic, honestly same reason why I'm subscribing as well, that and I enjoyed watching this at 2:30 in the morning bored in bed searching up Alexa smart plug reviews trying to fall asleep lol. I know this video is years old, and your reply that I'm replying to and this comment is 11 months old, but keep up the good work! Here I misread and it said your subscriber count is 24.2K, yet by my first impressions from this video which are great to-the-point narrative and a really good visual step by step guide representation both in app and in home, your work seems to be from someone that should have at least 242K subs. Anyways, hope life brings you nothing but happiness. Take care dude. 😃

I love smart plugs for the holidays lights. My daughter loves telling “A” to turn on the tree, or the holiday lights. I like being able to have items automatically turn off at certain times of the night. Some people have a tendency of falling asleep with everything on till the early morning hours. I have my lights to turn on so many minutes before sunset. It was great before I discovered routines, simply saying “A turn on the lights” when you’re waking in the front door in the dark with arms full of groceries.

I have my Amazon Echo smart plug outlet turn off my router/fibre modem and then back on after 1 minute whenever the internet drops. This autoreset has been a game changer for optimum router performance. Kinda wonder why the modems don’t have this troubleshooting feature built in.
@markg.2501 Жыл бұрын
Just some additional info.....The physical on/off is beneficial, However the unplugging /replugging of all connections really completes the "Reset" as it will disburse any static charge that has built up in the machine and really gives you a factory fresh Re-Start. This is especially helpful in Winter months when humidity usually is low and naturally occurring static is high.

I'm curious as to why you try not to mention "Alexa." You were referring to her by her name on the paper and was waiting for you to say her name when trying to enable lights but nope, you cut off the rest of her name. I'm really curious to why. The only reason I can think of is your video gets copyrighted for saying it?
