Thanks for your video, I would like to ask you a question in advance, excuse my ignorance, I have several TP Link EP25 connectors and several Tapo P125M, I configured them with the Home app only when I am at home can I manipulate them with the app, once I leave home and connect to another Wi-Fi network it does not let me control them, all the devices turn gray, that Home app does not allow me to control the devices outside my home

Is there any Dvr/Nvr that allows cameras to be watched within HomeKit? My old one broke and I have to decide if replacing just the Dvr or replace all 8 cameras 😩

Nice video Adam. You have some good recommendations for renters.

[EdgarsHomeTech]

Great video, Adam. I live in an apartment, so I agree with a lot of your ideas. Thank you!

If you want your own router, how do you do it if your isp device is a combo router/ modem?

[Pierre-Van-Gogh]

I am interested in turning my apartment "smart", my girlfriend and I are moving soon and plan to be there for a few years at least. Our network is managed by our landlord, 500/500 speed with no accessible router in unit (completely managed community wifi). Will this cause any problems?

[adnctz]

I switched completely to HomeKit devices because of the Matter support. While this means I have a bit less control over automations and devices compared to before, it really simplifies my overall home automation setup

Man I thought I was the only one in the world still having an iPhone SE but you do wow we’re friends now, I’m subbing

Great informative video, however one correction is needed. The Level lock does have a version, or actually it’s been upgraded and it only has one version now(I have both). The new version IS Home key compatible. You have the option of geo fencing it so that it will automatically unlock the door when you’re returning from outside the geo fenced area, and/or have it unlock by placing your phone or Apple Watch against it.

I plan on adding the Aqara U200 smart lock, as its matter compatible, HomeKit, and homekey compatible and is RETRO FIT,

[Hollaback_Youngn]

I replaced all the light switches and thermostat to my apartment. I still have the original. I will change it back when I move out.

I regret getting Nano-Leaf lights. They will fail to be found after a power cycle, even with power loss recovery turned on. They are not good options.

[JustinThornton]

The Aqara U200 smart lock has apple homekey

[TalismanSarkozy]

Xiaomi is also a serious contender when it comes to smart home devices
