Looking forward to the zigbee video!!!

[GertStalpaert]

That video was fantastic!
It's so helpful to see you reflect on past choices and share your long-term experiences with different hardware.
Your honest reviews are a breath of fresh air, and I love your signature style - informative, funny, and down-to-earth. 👌

Keep up the great work! 🎉

Very entertaining video as always. Looking forward to the repairing zigbee network one. Thanks.

[JC]

Thanks a lot for this. I now know a bit more about what to look out for.

That Zigbee troubleshooting video will definitely help me on my automation journey. Thanx for all the great content!

[jaredbater]

This vid is such a great summary of lessons learned. Thank you!

[Upperton]

Very interesting to hear you say what’s worked well and not so well. Agree with you on the Aqara and the clicking even when running from automatons. Love your approach to everything as well, very well thought out. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻

[MapexNJD]

Thanks for this. Very helpful. Excited for the Zigbee video.

This is an awesome idea! I need to do this too. Great video!

I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of the video but I will say it was very well done and informative and pleasant to listen to. 1 like from me!

I agree...Light automations are the most used and myself hardly ever touch a light switch... Great channel. keep it going strong

[harrisedgar]

I so much wish you made a separate channel exclusively for STEP by STEP tutorias on EACH smart thing you have done. There is nothing like that out there and you are very clear and approachable, you are the rigth man for the job. I was going to make fun of you too about your "partner" BTW.

Looking forward to your Zigbee travails, my journey has been simple quick and troublefree.

[alexattard]

Great video … really helpful to hear what you think has worked and not. Made me very happy I got the zemismart mains powered blinds and paid an electrician to do all the power points.
Also made me look into the everything presence sensor to see where I can use that in my home.
Love your lighting too

[SuperDavidstevenson]

Glad your making videos again. I've got into smart home from your videos.

Very useful, looking forward to your ZigBee experience.
