The Ultimate Smart Home Showcase: Apple Edition

[@SVest1024]

"We're going to stay here a while"..... What are the odds of this being true? Y'all put in some work in eight days but it looks great!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

😝 the plan is to move to Miami in January 2027. We MUST stay here until then then.

[@minhvu14]

I’m really into Smart Home, and man I love your apartment. I love the story behind everything and I am an Apple freak, I resonate with the painting by your dad and the gift from your daughter. Your video is profoundly inspirational and tech overkill is also my thing! I’m still young and have not owned a house but man when I finally get one, I will look up to you as the person to follow in setting up my home. I wish you and your wife all the best, George!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I appreciate the kind words & I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching!

[@OvertimeSessionHD]

The amount of tech in your pad is wild, didn’t know so many small appliances had tech as well 🙌🏾 Good stuff sir!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

8 days to set up all that in a rented house… AMAZING!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It wasn’t easy. Lol

[@mikeq2416]

George, amazing new tour! The place looks great - congratulations 🎉. You said something that everyone needs to know. Hubs are the right way to go! Thank you for saying it! Awesome place 👌

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you sir! I feel like you might’ve been around since the first one. Thanks for the continued support, my friend.

[@brianramage4983]

Nice tour, great setup. I really wish on all these Smart Tours (yours and others) that there would be an overlay showing the product name, if it is native Homekit, and possibly price range. Watching on the TV I have to then look at my phone to see if gadgets are listed in the lengthy description.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you! I like your idea, but easier said than done. Lol

[@brianramage4983]

@@GeorgeLangabeer I eventually went to the app on my phone to see some of the products shown. I found the video on the KZbin app on the TV and, as a first-world problem, I had to pull out my phone.

Great job, George! I’m in disbelief it took 8 days only - very impressive!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you! It wasn’t easy, but I gave myself a deadline & I’m relieved that I pulled it off.

Dude, Toilet paper goes over, not under. Got to fix that in your Guest Bath. Otherwise another great video!

Theresa put that in there & considering my ostomy situation, I don’t use it and didn’t notice. lol So thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it immediately. 😝

I appreciate it very much! 🙏🏻

Love the video, so many new ideas i got... Looking at smart toothbrushes for the kids to make sure they brush and not only say they brushed it. Few other things that was also amazing. Will need to watch this again. Great work

Hey George, I really enjoyed your new home tour. You gave me a lot of ideas. I am really thinking about starting my own KZbin Smart channel and you’re definitely right. Shane Watley has been a great influence her when it comes to starting a smart home. Continue the great work that you’re doing. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Thank you! Much appreciated. No time like the present, just do it! I’ll be your first subscriber.

[@misstubbie1313]

I have a few of those appliances set in my own home: Lutron and Philips Hue have been rock solid awesomeness! I also use a combination of of Homepod Minis and Sonos speakers, pretty much the same way you do: Sonos for TV and movies sound, and Homepods for Smart home control and music 🎵 I also much prefer to use my AppleTVs even with the Smart TVs And boy! your place looks incredibly clean and tidy! Kudos!

I guess it’s a case of great minds think alike! lol Thank you!

[@Sah-dd1zh]

Are you utilizing Ecobee as your security system since you have their sensors on the doors/windows? What has your experience been like there?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Yes I have. If you don't mind the monthly fee, It's a great security system. Sensors are very reliable and the thermostat works great as a keypad. I'm not currently using their cameras, but if you add them to the mix, the experience is even better.

[@Sah-dd1zh]

@@GeorgeLangabeer - does it bother you that it doesn’t expose a security system to HomeKit? Do you just rely on ecobee app and shortcuts? Any other workarounds I’m missing?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Doesn’t bother me at all. All the sensors are still in HomeKit & that’s what matters to me.

[@DGYtown]

Smart car edition would be cool. What do you use to clean your car ?

Am a new subscriber from a month ago all the way from Jamaica in the Caribbean where I came up on your videos because I was busy checking out ‘wired’ home security PTZ cameras.

[@saulgoodman602]

Great video. Have you incorporated your Reolink cameras into Apple home? Scrypted, homebridge or something else?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I have not. I have no interest in having my cameras (Reolink or otherwise) in HomeKit Secure Video. Until they update the platform, I’m done. These cameras have tons of great features and I’m not going to waste them worrying about having them in Apple Home. This might sound like a bitter comment, but please know that it’s not bitter towards you, it’s bitter towards Apple. lol

[@saulgoodman602]

I agree with you. I have my cameras record on their own. However, I like the Apple TV screen pops. When somebody pulls in my driveway, they come up on my tv’s

Hey George, nice tour, a team from my hometown in Kentucky is competing in the college baseball World Series, the BAT CATS representing the University of Kentucky, wishing them luck.

@GeorgeLangabeer Does the Ecobee security alarm sound on the Apple Home Pods? I currently have 2 Ecobee Premiums with the security plan but when the alarm goes off, I can’t really hear it in the master bedroom.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

No, it does not. That would be a great feature though.

[@n-line97]

Do you prefer the Ecobee sensors over Aqara?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I do, mostly because if I open my windows, the ecobee sensors automatically shut off the Ecobee thermostat & then turns it back on when I close them. They do that more flawlessly than if I tried to do it with an automation using Aqara.

[@n-line97]

@@GeorgeLangabeer That is a good point, Ive been thinking about making the switch to Ecobee from my OG Nest Learning Thermostat. Since I am trying to go all in on Apple Home but I want to narrow down what subsystem I want to go with either Ecobee or Aqara but I could just do a mixture

George, do you intend to review the Reolink video doorbell? If so, I’ll wait for your video review, if not I’d like your opinion of it. I also rent so I’m limited on what products I can install.

I hope to at some point. I’m about to have a surgery that’s going to require some recovery time. So I’m going to have to take a few weeks off. But when I’m back, that doorbell is on the list. I’m really liking it so far though. It’s been very reliable.
