good

The I looks like a |

Can we get a 2025 update please

Update? Pliz

This is def not a nest ad…….dude fell off, I hope he loses all his success. Sellout.

I do the same in the morning. I hate mornings, but whenever i turn the alarm off, Alex’s turns my TV on, tells me the day, the date, the current temperature inside, the current temperature outside, the weather forecast, whats on my calendar, plus a couple business related things

Marques I’d love to do all this but being a privacy freak I don’t want the world watching my life … you’re obviously (!) a superstar so how do you manage tech privacy controls? It seems companies are moving in the direction of selling products with no actual security features but then offering a subscription for that (yes I’m looking at you Netgear routers with no privacy unless you buy a subscription to Armor) which is a big NO NO for me …

Bro is selling

Can we have 2024/2025 Update of this video?!

The Orbi are genuinely terrible! I had them and sold them off to use my ISP supplied router lol who wants a subscription for their WiFi lol

Really informative

HI Marques! Hope this video gets an update. I am currently building my smart home too and using Google's.

You need something like Control4 or even HomeAssistant.

1080p video is awful looking.

I'm surprised he isn't using z-wave.

One year later, offer still stands dude. Would love to take you through a home with a full automation system.

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I cannot even get close to 900 mbps speeds. Even though I have a 1000/1000 fiber connection and a wired mesh network 😅…

Need to check out Vivint smart home, best equipment all designed and manufactured in house at Vivint.

Mann you rich . Big up mkbhd

I use to respect you until I say your thermostat temperatures 😱

I agree on everything but having google branded home tech.

Is there an updated video? I really want to see how it looks like now😮

We need another one with Thread devices! Also, look into Inovelli smart switches

Google? No thanks

Bro, get the smart light switches instead of bulbs. The bulbs are extremely glitchy and on occasion (year or so) they can all just go off and then you will have to do the whole set up. Switches are much more reliable and you don’t have to worry about getting over priced bulbs. The only downside is that you won’t be able to change light bulb colors.

Nest Learning Thermostat can’t even do “hold” temperature setting. 👎

The Nest thermostats are pretty terrible. They still use internal batteries even though they are hardwired and as the batteries fail so will your hvac. I’ve seen many houses with feeezing pipes because the Nest failed without warning, including my own. My Dad owned an HVAC company and refused to use Nest because of my research. The engineers at Nest even told me it’s not ideal.

So I've looked but haven't come across anything, but has he done a recent video on the best smart lock for 2024? Does anyone have any recommendations on something reliable?

I use Eufy products because some of it's products are Apple Homekit compatible. Stopped using Ring because Eufy with Homekit + iCloud subscription is a great save.
