The Top5 Best Smart Home Gadgets As Voted By *YOU*!

Waiting for you to review flic twist and completely destroy that scam

All the Kisses from DK.
What abort a seroius review of the new Sonoff IHOST?? - I Just Ordered one...

So what’s your money on - this isg hub, or the pending Amazon echo hub?

Home Assistant sadly dropped support for modbus 😢

Tempted by the kickstarter but shortcut labs burnt me badly so I’ll wait :)

Shout out for Samotech zigbee dimmer too, a small UK business that's made a great dimmer for Home Assistant!

the "linknlink" table starts off with a false claim to denigrate the competition; Homey would - conform the table - have no zigbee nor zwave. It actually has both. This needs to be revised! and then compare to a unit that has "zwave in the future" on kickstarter? That is really false advertising from a company that has no track record.

Hi, I'm interested in the LinkLink Intelligent super gateway, but how does it work, as in how do i buy it? Thx

Hi Paul,, This video comes at a great time for our family. Dad is getting older (94) so I see a few applications/ devices that could make life easier for him. I think aged care resources will be a great path for home automation to go down - I like the LinknLink eMotion Sensor as I think we can get lights to come on as he heads to the loo at night. What globes would we put in the light fittings to work with it?

Lutron does a dimmable plug socket, at least a North American version.

The Candeo dimmer has definitely been my favourite this last year, I even managed to install it myself without frying myself or the cats 🤣

So why does the HA subreddit almost universally pan the Conbee2 stick? Seriously.. They keep saying it sucks with no actual reasons. Does anyone know why?

We’ll talking about Corporate greed. Any thoughts on charging a subscription for Alexa?

Nexa actually make smart dimmer plugs... just as you know 😃

You joke too much
Sorry Mate 😂😂
Amazing Videos

You are such a LIAR! I didn't vote for anything

Woo hoo! It has been so long since I was masterfully baited by Paul Hibbert! Seriously though, I like that joke, and fully back your continuing to use it.

Aqara are a interesting offer but from mu experience they have very bad customer service in the ideea that the G3 camera and G4 video doorbell have A LOT of issues and are very inconsistent.

HIPAUL2024 not working for linknlink presence sensor?

"Love teabagging". Brilliant.

That LinknLink gateway looks amazing, it almost seems to cheap to be true, so I’m a little worried about it underperforming speed wise, but excited to see your review!!

Question? who use "tv" in 2024?
I'm 54, but I only watch "the Apple TV" or PC; I stopped using an "antenna" last century, "cable" as soon as Formula One was legally available in streaming where I live ;p

So possibly a dumb question about the presence sensors, how do they deal with pets? I want to turn things off if there are no people in the room...

Your AQARA FP2 PRESENCE SENSOR link doesn't work. It opens to the whole Aqara store and the product shown in your video doesn't seem to be there.

Masterful…bait.

I think Narwal was thinking more of Neesha for the twerking not you ! 😅

Click bait ≠ dick bait

You said "Broadlink" Presence Sensor. Is LinkLink the same company as Broadlink?

Always love your vids. I made a list... and checking it twice! ... list of your toys of course....

I’ve tried the HDMI sync boxes. They often added lag to the platform if they worked, and most of the time the signal didn’t get passed through properly and the video didn’t work.

Great Video!!

The joke does not get old

I’m going to bet that you still have your wife’s clothes on

Homey Pro has both ZigBee and Z-Wave support and is a great hub (pricey though...). Still it's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose ;)

So, I've looked through all the provided links and failed to locate one for the teabagging mug....

That mug with the scrotum seemed like a good idea at the time, and a good way to sponsor Paul's work 😅

Thanks. The code for the LinknLink doesn't work

Paul. You know what your next video should be.

If I ever meet you, I'm also going to thrust my hips at you and say "Ooh, the ZigBee", whatever the location. 😁👍

I was one of the people that bought the linknlink presence units (5) and I found that it picked up my 13# cat and also had many false "hits". I sent an email to support and never received a reply. BUT keep up the great videos, you rarely steer us wrong.

I can't stress this enough algorithms are not AI. I hope one day people will understand that.

Please stop saying HAITCH its spelled AITCH AITCH AITCH, makes me cringe

Do note there's also Conbee 3 released recently. Once Home Assistant has support for it, buy that one. Conbee 2 is old while the 3 supports all the new Zigbee standards and in the near future thread and matter. The Skyconnect is also an option.

Hey Paul,
Do you have a recommendation for a zigbee smart plug that's a bit cheaper? Not dimmable. Affiliate link welcome...

just imagine how many subscribers you would have if you would cut out the silliness.
