What HomeKit devices have been reliable in your smart home?
@andymantoronto Жыл бұрын
I use Meross smart plugs and bulbs and they have all been very responsive and reliable, on a rare occasion I've had to unplug a one of the smart plugs to do a reset but that has been very rare.

Great video! I do like LIFX however I switched to nanoleaf essentials because the thread capability and did not want to have many wi-fi smart lights in my network. My 2 cents Thanks
@AdamsTechLife 2 жыл бұрын
Nanoleaf is a good option as well. Unlike everybody else, I have had a bad experience with multiple Nanoleaf bulbs. Constant dropped connection and slow response times with multiple HPM and an Apple TV as the border router. I got tired of the issues so I switched to Lifx and it’s been way better than Nanoleaf. Thanks for watching! 😊

Hi, I’m new to homekits, I currently only have aqara g2 pro for indoor. For outdoor, is eufy the only choice? Are xiaomi and tp link not compatible? I also haven’t bought any homehub/homepod so I’m kind of confused which one to buy first. My main goal is to install indoor and outdoor cctvs for now.
@AdamsTechLife 8 ай бұрын
Welcome to HomeKit :) there are multiple brands of outdoor HomeKit cameras, eufy is a popular choice and what i personally use and recommend. and I made a full video all about HomeKit hubs that should answer your question about which hub to get.

Did you use the eve devices before or after thread compatibility? Just curious.
@AdamsTechLife 2 жыл бұрын
Before thread. I will say I used the Nanoleaf light strip with thread and it was as fast as Meross smart plugs that don’t use thread so I’m not totally sure if thread would make a difference but I haven’t used it to know for sure. Thanks for watching! 😊

I just have normal light in my room I want to put one that changes colour and thinking about getting a Appel speaker mini thing. What would u advise me to get I am not very good with technology. Do I need a smart plug or Just a smart bulb
@AdamsTechLife 2 жыл бұрын
Each has their own pros and cons. If you want to change colors use smart bulb. If you want to just turn on and off light smart plug would work Thanks for watching! 😊

If you have 2 rooms needing strip lights, one room is 44 feet and the other 70 feet, which light strip would you go with without breaking the bank?

I like onvis and Nanoleaf. My light strip video (in description) explains the pros and cons for each brand. 😊

@@AdamsTechLife But they're not cheap. The Onvis being the cheaper of the two, is like $70 for a 16ft strip alone.
