I've been building my smart home for the past year; now the only missing piece seems to be the Switchbot to automate my old school devices with buttons that need to be pressed. Thanks for the video! So cool!
Two words: Home Assistant. Since you have a lot different hubs and apps. In my opinion, Home Assistant would be an amazing option to hook everything together into one system and app. Plus it is focused on keeping everything local. So that’s a major advantage as regards your privacy
One day.. my home will be like this. I also want to use these smart home products in my hairdress salon. It would be such an upgrade. Adore your videos...❤
I love this, thankyou for only bringing up the ones that are useful in day to day life and not just some one time gimmick, next video should be securing these connections avoiding being hacked or interfered.
This video is so helpful most videos I saw were for a house not apartments and this video is giving me a easier way to plan what I need to get for when I move in the summer thanks.
Felix, I enjoyed your video! Smooth, effective shots, & edited to communicate susinctly the value of SmartBot products. I was unaware of the device to automate the function of "old school" devices. The Xiaomi was another surprise. Looking forward to your review of that router also.
Awesome video. If your computer is connected via an ethernet cable, you can also turn it on using Wake on LAN. Just enable it on the motherboard settings and then find some wake-on-lan integration for whatever smart home system you use :)
Oh wow, I was just making a video about an external power button for the PC ($4) and now I'm thinking I should either add this to the review or make a separate one. Loved your channel, glad I noticed the post on Reddit, it's 4 am now, but totally going to binge your older videos tomorrow. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make! :)
Such an underrated youtuber. Only been subscribed for a short while but find myself looking forward to new video all the time. Also have to support our own :) Brabantttt
Love the video! We're currently living in an apartment and I'm getting into smart products, seen the switchbot stuff but didn't know it was so powerful!
Felix, do you know about home assistant. You can run it on a simple raspberry pi and it can integrate all the different systems and apps in 1 app. Also using siri? Integrate both siri and google assistant into it and you have even more possibilities for integrating
Hey Friso! I do know about it actually, although I haven't taken full advantage of it yet. Sounds like a great idea when using multiple eco-systems. So far, Google Home has done a great job! Thanks for the comment.
Nice video helps me alot. With the routine when everything turns off, are you using the WiFi extension wire or do you have a smart plug or switch bot connect to the main wall plug
Thanks Daniel! You mean on my smart watch? Not revealing any secrets (but I'm probably making a video about my watch very, very soon). Anyways, it's the 'Roto Rally'!
Damn just saw this. Been looking for a while to automate my curtains and this seems really solid. Dropped 400 euro on their website during their current sale. Time to get fully automated! Thanks Felix!
ahah best part.. making google self-destruc by turning itself off. i bet at some point it will refuse to do it. but best video on the the google system. it shows clearly that with google you can control all the other smart home systems and eventually dont have to worry about compatibility or which is the best. just get anything that u like and it will work with google home. thats perfect since I was interested in the ikea symfonisk lamps. and the switchbot devices are really getting the last stubborn non smart old tech subdued . perfect video. thanks Felix
Great Felix, I'm surprised how much you can do with switches, also attaching it to older hardware. Thank you for this update, I might watch it soon again.
Haha, if you win the giveaway you don't need to pay anything at all! You were actually the first person that showed me how you could turn your lights off using your voice. This was already years ago!
Man your apartment is beautiful. This gave me so many ideas for my apartment. Right now I have hue bulbs, an echo and a HomePod plus a few plugs. But I want to automate more things. It’s a bit hard when you’re renting though but I guess it forces you to be more creative to find solutions
Great video! Gonna steal the idea on switchbot pushers to turn on my pc.. Currently have a bot for my lights and never actually thought about automating my pc. First world problems huh.. oops 😂😂
Can you please tell me the concealed strip you showed for hiding the lan wires? I have been looking for something to conceal the speaker wires running from my receiver to my speakers along with the HDMI wire
@@felixkruip It really depends on how much time you want to invest and how much controll you would like to have. Smartthings: Is cloudbased - access from anywhere but slow/ not as secure; works with a lot of different devices; big company so probably around for a while; easy to use -> tl;dr sleek, easy, think apple Home automation: Is local, but cloud integration exists (Pay or a lot of work)- local stuff works even when the Wifi is down fast/secure; works with a lot, for some a community solution is needed; you can automat almost everything the way you want to; very difficult to use some coding required, updates can break stuff easily. ->tl;dr customizable, secure, think building and coding your phone Hubitat: Is local with cloud options; some powerful automations exist; not super easy to use some tinkering required for more advanced stuff; ugly-ish user interface ->tl;dr between the other two, think android Thats just a rough breakedown but i hope it helps!
@@marceldavis2525 Yes, winners have already been selected. However, I've not gotten a reply from all of them, so I might give some other people a chance still if they don't reply within a few days.
Lots of useful ideas for anyone thinking of automating their home. Btw, correct me if Im wrong but the Switchbot Hub Plus/mini emits infrared, not radio signals? Though I think radio frequency would be an added bonus since some of my devices do use RF control. An idea for future switchbot product maybe?
Nice but i'd rather lights dont need an adicional hub i ve Google nest mini and Alexa echo Flex and i dont neeed a hub ti control lights or switch . Excelent ideas i Will consider a lot of them

Great suggestion! I will look into it.
Yes, while not ideal it ticks the most boxes!
This is one of the most clear and easy to understand videos I’ve watched in a while.
I really want to know when your purchased the light holder from ?
Hi Lekkyes, I really appreciate your words! I bought the light holder from a local store, I’ll see if I can find it on Amazon or something.
Can we all appreciate how he avoided saying hey google?
Haha, it was honestly already driving me nuts while editing..
Yes, it made me a happy man when I noticed it!
It should be mandatory. Anyone who says hey google in a video or commercial is a jackass. But agreed, thanks.
One day.. my home will be like this. I also want to use these smart home products in my hairdress salon. It would be such an upgrade. Adore your videos...❤

Nice video man! Would love to have my house look like that.
Ps. Je bent toch wel 1 van de beste Nederlandse creators, altijd interessante videos
Dat is echt een groot compliment! Super bedankt.
Fuck het is een Hollander 😄😎
This video is so helpful most videos I saw were for a house not apartments and this video is giving me a easier way to plan what I need to get for when I move in the summer thanks.
That Switchbot will be a nice addition to my PC which is in another room from me.
I know what I am going to do the upcoming year.. Smart home here we come :D
Sounds like a great new year's resolution idea!
Switch bot is quite a genius design
Another amazing video! 👏🏼👏🏼
only because you're a part of it! 🥰
Great video! Love your style and you gave so many great ideas.
This video is really helpful! I’ve always been interested in how to “smart home” my room and this provides a lot of good ideas
Cool video looking to make my house a smart home thanks for the ideas
Very good video, I love how your house is, I'm starting little by little to make my house smart!
Thank you, that means a lot! That's so awesome, what is your favorite smart home item?
@@felixkruip The lights because I love being able to control brightness and color of all the house with my voice.
@@elperroloco3954 100% agreed.
WELL DONE FELIX! This is very professional! Beautiful shots and explanations.
Heeey Silke, I really appreciate your words! Thanks.
The switchbot stuff is starting to look pretty interesting, especially the curtain bots.
Wjat inteligence is in it?
This would be great for turning on stuff while in bed.
Exactly!
Felix, I enjoyed your video! Smooth, effective shots, & edited to communicate susinctly the value of SmartBot products. I was unaware of the device to automate the function of "old school" devices. The Xiaomi was another surprise. Looking forward to your review of that router also.
Phew great production quality, thanks for the clear explanation, great video!
Glad you liked it!
I really like smart homes, I’m working on it on my own room! My next upgrade wil be te smart curtains
Really love the different ideas! Thx
Thanks Felix, loving these devices!
Awesome video. If your computer is connected via an ethernet cable, you can also turn it on using Wake on LAN. Just enable it on the motherboard settings and then find some wake-on-lan integration for whatever smart home system you use :)
The pc thing is awesome. I gotta buy it when I get enough money
Oh wow, I was just making a video about an external power button for the PC ($4) and now I'm thinking I should either add this to the review or make a separate one.

I like the way switchbot can be used to turn on devices that use a remote control
thank you for this

Your house is looking great! I also have installed some smart home things in my room. Would be nice to upgrade with switchbot!
Gives me lots of ideas for my apartment👍
Great Video! Could you tell me whats the watch face you are using? Looks pretty nice

Hi! Could you please let me know the name of the supporting frame for the Philips hue filament? The black one! Thank you very much! Nice video
Love the quality and info in this video, if I could suggest one thing is that you get a robotic vacuum , it’s been a game changer for me . Cheers man
Thanks man! A little out of the budget for me right now, but really something I'd like to have!
Great video, keep the content coming!
Thanks! :)

So cool!
i can't imagine how it would be with automatic curtains, or have a button for turning on the ps4 when a update comes out. clean cable management btw.
Sounds good! Thanks
Hi I use switchbot to turn on my ps4 Pro and my playstation logo works fine
Great video. thank you!
Glad you liked it!
awesome!! need those really bad!!
Thanks! Well, you already have a chance to win the giveaway...
Your channel is so underrated!!
I appreciate that Lukas!
I've never been so excited for curtains
Thx bro for teaching me about new things
It's my pleasure
Creatieve oplossingen ;-) Nu een routine aan het opzetten. Groeten aan Rene
Thanks, goed bezig. Groetjes terug!
Felix make a video about : How you edit your video,, which software you used for editing? Frame rate,,color, shooting,, etc,,btw good job mate,,
Hi Azizul, I'm working on it! I'm thinking of making a complete video series on Patreon how I make my videos from 0 - 100.
Dude,clean logo and intro!!!
Congrats with reaching 5k subs
Thank you so much 😀
That is smart!
Very interesting video !
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice devices some never seen before
That Fail-Safe was great 🤣
Nice products!
nice start
Waao fantastic home. I want to see how you made your auto. curtains 😉👍
Thanks! The curtains are modified by hand so it fits the windows perfectly. The SwitchBot Curtains were really easy to install.
Hey there, great video
Great video! Gonna steal the idea on switchbot pushers to turn on my pc.. Currently have a bot for my lights and never actually thought about automating my pc. First world problems huh.. oops 😂😂
Haha, that's great!
Nice video
I’ve got Hue lights but some fittings can’t be changed in my apartment so I’ve been looking into switchbot.
One day my home will be like this if my life depends on it
Can you please tell me the concealed strip you showed for hiding the lan wires? I have been looking for something to conceal the speaker wires running from my receiver to my speakers along with the HDMI wire
Hi, yea sure! I got mine from a local store, but these are very close: amzn.to/3qfa3C1
Great vid :). Ahhaha GG on the outro.
Thanks! Haha
Nice setup! Have you thought about integrating everything into one hub?
Not yet! Any recommendations?
@@felixkruip It really depends on how much time you want to invest and how much controll you would like to have.
Smartthings: Is cloudbased - access from anywhere but slow/ not as secure; works with a lot of different devices; big company so probably around for a while; easy to use
-> tl;dr sleek, easy, think apple
Home automation: Is local, but cloud integration exists (Pay or a lot of work)- local stuff works even when the Wifi is down fast/secure; works with a lot, for some a community solution is needed; you can automat almost everything the way you want to; very difficult to use some coding required, updates can break stuff easily.
->tl;dr customizable, secure, think building and coding your phone
Hubitat: Is local with cloud options; some powerful automations exist; not super easy to use some tinkering required for more advanced stuff; ugly-ish user interface
->tl;dr between the other two, think android
Thats just a rough breakedown but i hope it helps!
How do you connect your PC to Google Home?
Thanks
6:08 - This cable management system looks very interesting, does anyone know the name of this white strip?
I need that
Very nice video 👍
Appreciate the comment Marcel!

Cool 👍
