Linus's ad playing on linus's video, while he is earning from that ad being played, while he got paid while working on that ad.

Literally everyone who commented something about Ethernet completely missed the point of this video.

I guess the thing with not using Bluetooth for home automation is that you also don't really want the world's least secured protocol controlling your door's lock.

These videos are amazing for learning how to dumb down things for your relatives. Thank you so much for these ❤️

The point of WiFi is when you need to use a wireless device like a phone or laptop the stopping point is when you have a device that never moves or is low power or low data rate. Also I can say that Insteon is actually cool and works well if would be cool if they did a video on that

Can highly recommend Hubitat as a home automation hub. It's rules engine is fantastic and easy to use. Supports both zigbee and zwave devices, and works with things like Hue lights and switches, even Sonos speakers. Solid product, and doesn't spam you or try to mine your data.

3:59 I am sure James can do a really nice Kermit the Frog impression :)

[Karrppu]

Nah. I'm watching this over DSL that's connected to my phone.

Z Wave always eradicates all evil in the galaxy. Power Ranger fans will get that reference.

Naaa, I'm gonna try mechanical home automation using STEAM POWER! 😤

LoRa is the way forward for smart devices. Low power, low bandwidth, not in the already cluttered 2.4Ghz radio spectrum, running in the ISM band - around 433Mhz - 868Mhz & just a few milliwatts can reach an insanly, humongous range!
Been running multiple LoRa devices, each having a single 18650 battery & they've been going for about 18 months now & they've still got over 80% charge.
It would be the business if phones incorporated LoRa.
...Oh, did I mention that the range is insanly humongous?!
😉👌🏼

Routers with these technologies enabled with them could prove to be good selling points for the home enthusiast that wants alot of IOT devices

2:23 James cut the video to fix his hair 😂.

[jay-t-j]

[Benappy]

Bluetooth 5 Low Energy actually introduced meshing, however like Z-Wave, and Zigbee transfer speeds are extremely low.
