Me living in a dumb home: interesting 🤔

The most important question for me is: What happens if the company goes out of business, or they decide to turn off the servers? Are all the devices going to turn into paperweights, or does it support some open source IoT systems?

Love the demonstration, super cool system!!

One major concern a lot of people have with smart home equipment is security and privacy. How much of a factor did these issues play in your research?

[sohansingh]

Brilliant professional video 🧡.
You have gained a new subs

Hi Josh. Since it's a bit quiet on the laptop space regarding new releases, could you upload the review of Inspiron 16 Plus from end of last year?

[Pokeonrocks]

Amazing video! Congrats on your amazing house! I’ve been watching you for years! I love your content!

[kylelangston]

The shades came out so nice and the pool lights are a cool feature 👏🏽 👏🏽

Great channel Josh! You are one of my favorite technology Youtubers on Youtube. Please please do a review of the new Asus Zenbook OLED 14" (UX3402). So far, there is only one other youtuber who has done a review, and I want to know what you think. Your reviews are really well-rounded, and more "granular" than other reviewers. You get into the details, like speaker sound quality, fan noise, keyboard temperature, screen quality and size and how many lines of text you can easily see on the screen, etc.. I think these details matter and they set you apart from most others. There are too many youtubers who only focus on cpu power, but this is only one aspect of what makes a good laptop. Keep up the good work!

Good video. Thank you. I agree. I too like caseta. radiora2 select is also a 1 step up solution from lutron that can configured by the homeowner. Regular radiora2 is good but it requires a pro for configuration. Radiora3 is new so I haven't researched it yet but it will likely also be pro configuration only. I only install lutron for home automation gear because it's the only one I like enough to recommend and reliable enough to not have call-backs from gear not working as expected.

Hey Josh! I was wondering if you think a intel i7 11th gen will be too slow if I start college in two years and will use it for 4 more years? And should I spend more on a 12th gen? And should I buy a laptop without college in mind for now that’s cheap, resell it in 2years and than crack my money on a laptop?Im planning to do Electrical engineering or aeronautical engineering. I don’t know what I should do and would really appreciate a response.

[johnniemikhail]

can you do an xps 13 plus review for a programmer?
I want to buy a new easy to carry laptop. Do you consider it as a good laptop?

[jean-francoislalonde]

Excellent question what is the best central sound music to install

[carlosalvarez]

Very good video, thanks you. Seems to be that it's not that expensive as I expected.

[dkaigorodov]

Great option to consider. Smart home was a mystery for me.

[bxsteez]

Congratulations! I'm sure you are going to get this comment a lot but check out Home Assistant.

[natanealtheking]

Came into this video disappointed. But wow did I change my mind by the end. Great video and thanks for the info. I've always wanted to do this in the future but am overwhelmed by the options

[arekudjasewuruid]

Hi Josh, Congratulations on your new house.
I'm going to buy a laptop for programing but i'm a bit confused between all these options available, i choose three out of them that were close to my budget and you suggested them in your videos, wich one do you think is better for programing, Lenovo IdeaPad 5 pro 16 (AMD), MacBook Air M1 or Acer Swift X 3050ti.

Hello sir, I'm going to buy a laptop for video editing, photo editing price about 900$. Better with a good display, good looking(for girl use so). Could you recommend a few? Or if you had already uploaded for that, could you mind mentioning me there plz. Don't mind my grammar tho. Lastly, I love watching your video. Thank you.
