Informative video! But regarding Wyze: I will consider them for some other products, but after how poorly they handled prior cam security issues, I will not purchase their camera nor wifi lock.

Love to see more content on residential solar, Heat pump applications, etc

I enjoy these "new gadget" videos of yours, Brian. I used and dumped LifX several years ago because of constant problems. It wouldn't have known they were back with new versions. I've used Ring for years, but hadn't previously paid much attention to the "Pro" features...thanks. I like the "Live Smart" tagline.

It would be great if you could do a video comparing power stations, “electric generators“ for people who would be looking to invest in having one for either every day use or emergency preparedness

[meanBrains]

Props to your delivery driver... She looks like she's out for a jog, not delivering parcels! 😂

I woke up at 3am and was pleasantly surprised to find your newest video installment! Great vid, and you can wake me anytime!😏

What are the best camera systems that use local storage with no subscription needed? I have some blink outdoor cameras that seem to work fairly well and store video on the sync 2 module with memory card. I have a couple Wyze outdoor cameras and feel they are garbage, lol. Have sensitivity set as low as possible but they constantly go off.

Switched entirely from Google Home since sensors stopped working multiple times in not only my own home.
My parents now use Smartthings and I use Home Assistant. Both working fine, much quicker and finally 100% reliably.

Using the old Aqara P1 motion sensor with Zigbee for the most part now. Was like 10EUR each at Amazon recently. Super quick, especially when it comes to cool off, and the light sensor helped realizing way more complex automations which were impossible to do in Google Home anyways.

Aqara’s naming convention is bonkers 🤣

[royardfajardo]

How fast is the new Aqara motion sensor with a hubitat hub? Curious if you tested that.

[gerryf]

Nice selection, Brian. How about a video or series on power monitoring (whole house and local devices), energy efficiency solutions, and then whole house energy solutions (solar, batteries, peak rate management, EV charging, heat pumps and various heating/cooling methods), and how automation can help or solve. I've seen a lot of EU videos in this area, but nothing for North America. Electricity is more expensive in the EU, but our day will come (soon).

[CaptainWinbatch]

Can you connect it with Smartthings v2 hub? Or do you need a later hub version?

[garethjones]

Everyone should have an automation to warn them of an approaching Hibbert

[John_Morton]

Can the cameras trigger automatons in smart hubs?

[Bigglare]

I'll stick to the $20 Walmart fan and a Sonoff Smart Plug.

[chrisyerp]

the lights are cool but i thank im at 95, 000 lumens 95k thats right no typo lol in my house if i buy any more the lady will kill me. Lol 😅 the ring camera just ok. I recently did 2 reolink rcl-823a 4k ptz yes i know its in another class, recording to to my private network i can now zoom in on license plates at around 800 feet and read them with auto tracking voice call 360° motion tracking this thang is crazy, if you ever get into the cameras deep. Look reolink, lorex brands and a few others no subcriptions but require more hardware , ,, true security to me is never having my camera video saved to a non local server,

[cdarrigo]

I'm waiting for your automation when dog poops on lawn and owner doesn't pick up poop then flash lights and sound siren!

[LebDusty]

solar is not a good idea in canada hahaha llts of snow and cloudy weather 🤣

[lakromani]

I did not see any "Exceptional" stuff

[sendo]

I recently just bought the P2 sensors the door and the PIR and I love them but I hate that you can't change any of the settings on smarthings. And the other thing that I don't like is smart things keeps disconnecting from them or going offline and then I end up having to repair them because they won't come back online but it's not only my aqara matter devices it's also my govee matter rope and some matter plugs and it's just really annoying when they won't go back online and I have to repair them.
