Hi bro, great vid.. But my eyes locked on the walll on your study room.. Mind if i asked how you do that? wallpaper perhaps?
Thanks Alex for the insightful video. Towards the end you mentioned to go down to check the measurements when a work is done. How often (eg. alternate days, twice a week) did you have to drop in to check the progress? Will the ID help to check and update you?
Hi, wanted to check regarding rubber mats on vinyl tiles. Heard that rubber might leech/stain vinyl tiles over time. Is this something that you've experienced? Or was there any floor protection between the mats and vinyl tiles when this was installed?
Hey! Would you recommend the L20 or the X30 ultra?
i would be checking out the X40 ultra this year before sharing my thoughts
Hi Alex, a recent new viewer of your channel here. Thank you so much for your effort in making these videos. The pairing of gate + door locks are useful when coming back home. However, if I am at home and unlock the main door lock, would the gate lock also unlock itself? That would be a problem if I just want to open the main door to speak to perhaps a salesman but don't want to open the gate. Thanks in advance!
What about the newer dreames
How do you find the newer dreame
Is it possible to use AC+AP and Mesh together?
If, for example, I have a zigbee device linked to Amazon Alexa, will it still be a cloud network or would it already be a local network?
you're hot!
Is apple tv support this switch as hub? Pls someone help me.
I thought the grouping of power switches should correspond with the types of electrical items in the room, rather than simply in even groups (no rationale for that). So, in a room with three wall lights and one ceiling fan, it's intuitive that the switches are grouped in three and one respectively.
Hi Alex, I got a few questions about mesh. I'm a starhub subscriber and I understand from them if we want to use mesh system, we need to sign their smart wifi plan(2Gbps). Just curious if we can sign up the Ultra speed wifi 10Gbps and still use the mesh recommended in your video? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your honesty at the risk of kena whack. That's really communal interest at heart.
Help what better xiaomi x10+ vs Roborock Q Revo???
q revo
@@AlexTeo Dreame L10s Ultra vs Roborock Q Revo???
The things I would like to know what about if someone using a blow torch on this Lock
Is wired better than battery powered? And connection wise - is it via wi fi ? If wi-fi is off then wont work?
wired is always better, yes its via wifi if not how to send notification to your phone
@@AlexTeo i see ....sorry im a bit outdated home still oldschool type...all manual. In the video you mention, if wired, need to inform the electrician that transformer is needed?
@@Kalimatullah_Yoh1-1.14 ya, but the best to me is to go with POE supportedd doorbell, that will be a cleaner setup
Good info!
Are yale digital lock, fire resistant?
Someone know why I can't see the philips app?
What’s the model for that Kohler Faucet?
Love my setup. LG G3 with Hue sync box and tv gradient ambient light with 4 extra bulbs and 2 gradient light strips. Works great.
As far as I can see, this model has the same software problem as the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni version. The issue is that it always puts the mops in front of the station and spins (dry or dirty) while entering the station.
Strongest druid player
no pretty women is giving you the bizness you gotta pay for it just like your micro transactions lmao
still the same as mine 300$
how long can smart plugs last?
does other yale smart lock have geofencing ? or only this model? seems like a Yale app feature. Thanks
the lock itself must be able to install the module, software end needs to support the hardware
Do we really need gate lock? If door unlock automatically when gate is unlocked then isnt main door lock will become dummy?
i don't see a need in gate locks, i don't use 1 myself
Lytmi the best
Hi Alex, I am planning to get the switches from Aqara, but do you know how can I integrate third party lightings to aqara, it seems to me Aqara is too expensive
aqara has different models at different price point
Hi Alex, was wondering if the Z1 pro is compatible with sol luminaire lights for the dimmer function?
explained at 1:06, aqara Z1 pro is not a dimmer switch
Is it 1 AP vs 3 mesh satellite? Didn’t say where is the AP vs satellite also?
1 AP vs 1 mesh node placed at the same spot
@@AlexTeo interesting. I presume a direct comparison would be ceiling AP vs mesh?
@@elvintay2068 why would that be? the comparison here is based on this particular setup that i recommend, vs a mesh system with the same budget
Hi, what ceiling fan are you using and any recommended ceiling fans?
i am not using any smart fans now, will recommend to check out the brand big ass fan first
Game/film?
aiyaa I dont see Bubble setup anymore. Are you guys good? 😢
yeah she is mainly into aRPG now, rotating seasons at diablo 4, last epoch and POE for me, I am playing ffxiv new expansion dawntrail next month, followed by black myth wukong!
@@AlexTeo oh cool! I think I saw her at 5:44 behind you. God bless u all 💕
Hey Alex, current im on singtel 2gb with singtel mesh for 3 story landed house. The connect is not very good for the whole house. Any advise which telcom should i sign for how many gb and what mesh should i use ? Normally the house will be using wireless connections and not lan port.
i always prefer the big telcos - singtel or starhub depending on your area, as for mesh systems you can either go with my recommendation for best overall or best range
@@AlexTeo thank you so much. I'm still thinking to get Asus XT8 or Netgear orbi 850x. any recommendation for 3 story house ? Do i need to get tri band or just 2 pack is enough ?
@@chanyuchi2364 you need both triband and 3 nodes
@@AlexTeo Last question, Asus XT8 or Orbi Tri-band Mesh System(RBK852) will be better choice ?
Thank you so much for this, Alex - super helpful! If you don't mind, could I check if this is still relevant as of July 2024, or is there a more diserable unit over the L20 that you'd prefer these days? :)
yeah i think most likely, the new models from the big 3 brands all look interesting, I will definitely have videos on robot vacuum this year!
@@AlexTeo thanks Alex! Looking forward to this:) will likely be making a decision on which to go for based on your vid, save us all lots of time - thank you so much!!
I am reading robot vacuum for most brands needing a 1.5m clearance in front of the docking station for the robot vacuum to return to the docking station. Any issues with yours placed in the service yard? I'm assuming you might not have a 1.5m clearance space there.
i have been using that spot for a long time, no issues
Lucky duck 😒
Usually those salesperson have 0 clue what I'm asking them lol, things like controls/entities that can be exposed etc, just wanted to integrate them into HA via z2m (not a fan of a single manufacturer's ecosystem), it's better to just google and hopefully someone is kind enough to share the information on the same devices. Btw, great tips for people who are planning a smart home system!
typically salesperson usually don't know the products well, have to ask the right people haa
Hi Alex! Do you know if there is a compatible switchbot blind for making the blinds smart? I'm referring to the blinds where you pull one side to go up, and the other side to go down.
i don't think switchbot has such device, i recommend smartwings for motor, aqara shade E1 for retrofit
it would be amazing if you could include latency as well. it's very important for gaming
can the silder be used as a dimmer for non aqara light?
yup i used it for my philips hue lights
can DC ceiling fans or DC appliances be connected to a smart switch?
yup why not, as long as the power supports
Philips ist das einzig wahre
That was a great summary with enough detail to be really useful. Thanks!!
For IR on M2 hub , since it uses LOS I would need multiple hub to control different room IR devices?
yup, that's how IR blaster works
@@AlexTeo Any cheaper solution for IR blaster that work with Homekit?
Hi there anyone knows why the aqara z1 pro cant even support with app?
Love- i how milo is used.😂
