Good video. thanks. THose Eufy camera's cant a thief easily steal it?

What platform (HomeBridge, HomeAssistant, or other) did you úse to expose your AC using the broadlink device into HomeKit?

Excellent suggestions here. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

15 years is "ancient" to you?? Jesus, you make me feel old kid. I'm 3 times older than your AC, thanks kid for making me feel like I'm basically in the grave.

Very true words about the balance of time put into smart home things versus the convenience we get out of them. Appreciated the video.

I must have missed it but I don't recall hearing how you automated your garage door opener.

For the vacuum, we have a roborock, and I love it to death, highly recommend that brand 🙂

dreame is the best in robots

What camera is that bro

These are lame.

Never buy Eufy cameras. Look up Eufy Scandal.

Lights are one of the first but unfortunately – not always a huge QOL improvement. I started with automating central heating and room heaters to SOLVE real-life issues like the heating bill. Secondly, got a smart socket to automate electric heater in the second bathroom but the biggest game changer for me was… learning that Alexa has a "wait" function built in so with a "shower time" command I can have Alexa not only run the small bathroom heater but also have it wait for 45 minutes and switch it off after that. Same with a quick cooling automation with the AC. If I were to talk about next upgrades – probably the blinds. Lights? Not so much.

Thank you Sergio Christmas budget burned thanks to you 😂 any other suggestion for co2 that one was a bit too spicy in budget

For the robot get the eufy s1 pro or the switchbot s10

Great video, thanks! Dreame L20 robot vacuum has been on my wishlist for a while now, great quality for a mid range price 🧹

TrY FRITZ for wlan etc

Hi Sergio. Esses dois apps que você mencionou estão disponíveis no Brasil? Não consegui achá-los. Você poderia me envie os links. Muito obrigado.

For me, the most useful items I have bought are Hue lights and then pairing them with Aqara buttons. I've tried to do more with fans, AC and space heaters, but HomeKit compatibility can be a challenge.

Best bang for your buck on robo vac/mop is the ecovac T30s.

If you're saying some speakers don't sound even as good as a sound bar, you probably shouldn't recommend them. No sound bars are better than barely decent.

Automation is all about spending that upfront energy/ cost/ time so you can save collective seconds/ minutes/ hours down the line.

Is there a way to make philips / delonghi coffee maker a part of my smart home?
Some way to program it to start making coffee automatically on for instance 8:00 am time.

The machine itself has no software or no remote control..

Do NOT buy the Roborock S8 Max V ultra it's pure ASS. In fact, my Roborock S6 does a MUCH better job.

Hi Sergio – the IR blaster you featured you showed what appears to have a homekit integration. Yet, when I read the description of the product there is no mention of homekit so I am assuming you had to use homebridge or homeassistant – to get it into Apple Home. Am I correct – if so can you point me to which plug in you need for that? Thank you.

Narwal freo z is the best robot vacuum. Especially since you never ever have to rescue it.

Adorei o vídeo!

All smart power strips are unreliable

considering you already have eufy cameras i would say the eufy x10 omni would be a good vac

sounds good to me is the only audio quality judgement one needs. 🙂

A great content. 😊

That RM4C Mini app not respecting the iOS UI 'safe areas' hurt me on a deeper level. 😆
