You must talk about building a fully universal and off-line smart home system. A system that even guest can use with ease with any kind of phone or even without it. It would be a nightmare if I leave someone home sitting while I’m on a vacation and they can’t use the flat.

Many of the smart devices are 2.4ghz wifi only. I use a Google nest router and to my knowledge I can’t turn it down to 2.4ghz to set up any devices that require that. Any idea what I can do as a work around?

Drum stool and Ugreen nexode plug is what I picked up. Not huge discounts. 5 euros less than price charged yesterday. But hey something is something.

Matter is a godsent for apple users...

Can you tell us what iPhone stand you have when reviewing the Eve Play (7:38 mark)?

[TheHypnyx]

Just subscribed. Enjoyed your humor and takes 👍

[bscheirman]

thanks, picked up a few aqara accessories

[DennisWarner]

Thanks Erick. I really wish someone (EVE) would come out with just a light that looks like the outdoor camera light. Where I have the camera I have two fixtures and would like to have the other fixture be just a light that matches the look

I’d really recommend changing your opinion of Orbi 6e mesh, I have 2 satellites and went through 2 routers, still facing device dropped connections despite having great signal. The company refuses to actually help me and changes their facts constantly depending who you talk to there. Switching to tp-link deco before I plunge into unifi, but I think unifi is the best choice with no subscriptions and full functionality.

Apologies if this is an obvious or stupid question, but what’s the big difference between the Eve Room and the Eve Weather? The weather seems to be so much cheaper and I’m assuming it has the same great sensors. Yes I understand they’re marketed differently but couldn’t one just use the weather if all they wanted was the temperature and humidity of a room?

[bluefil]

Question if you don't mind - are these TP-Link plugs very reliable? I don't care much about the price. I want reliability above all. Would you recommend a different brand for reliability? I have Belkin WeMo's now and they suck - bought them around 4 years ago.

@Eric Welander Why don't any smart locks actually lock the pin on the handle? would go with one but I never just lock my deadbolt so I'm still on the fence.

[supernova]

Why is there a hole plate on your door ? Was the door not align correctly .... it doesn't look right with the handle so low

WhatsApp the magsafe charger that is shown at 7:39

Australia here and I can’t get the Eve Play. Is there anything else similar that I can connect older analog speakers too???

[narcesioteixeira]

15:22 on mute you look like Tim Cook saying “Good Morning” 😅😅😅😅

[KriegAdler]

Ubiquiti doesn’t seem to have ANYTHING available for WiFi7. I’d like to go ahead and get 7 now, even though Apple products don’t yet support 802.11be. What about the consumer offering in the Amplify Alien which Apple sells (WiFi 6e)?

I really need to invest in a mesh system, to take advantage of wireless backhaul. Even in an apartment, my Wifi 5 signal sucks - my fiber gateway / router is limited to a master closet, near an outside wall. Living room where my desk is? 200 Mbps. Add VPN for work, and I’m at 11 (limit is due to work routing).

[johnkwolf]

So you don’t like tp link router Netgear has a bad habit bickering there older router with upgraded firmware.
