[@BigBird2202]

Thank you for another great video all the best to you and yours over the Christmas break

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Thanks for watching and Have a great Christmas Break.

[@Barnez2006]

I thought the pacing all around was a solid improvement! I enjoy the depth you go into and this round was the right timing and speed. I would like to see more Home Assistant integrations into the products you review.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

My current plan is to do the Home Assistant Integrations as a seperate video so I can focus on the products native merits, then touch on the Home Assistant stuff seperately. It's really easy for the Home Assistant portion to blow out the length of a video significantly

[@WoottonRivers]

I think one change was the tour around the box. The pace was better. Thanks for a good video

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Yep, that's one of the changes. Definitely planning on keeping that change. it's extra time in the edit but I'd rather keep everyone engaged so my view time is better :P

[@GothicHellhound]

I really wanna get these but like, that power line is so short and idk how I'd extend it:

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Depending on how far you need to extend it I'm not sure that's the best idea. You MAY be able to find similar connectors online and make up an extension lead but with DC you run into Voltage drop. The cable from the controller to the curtain is about 3 metres I think.

[@GothicHellhound]

@HiveMindAutomation not like, a lot further, just want the cord to be flush with the corner of my wall so it looks better, so just a few feet

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I mean, a short Extension cord might do the trick, though if it's outdoors your mileage may vary
