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
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.
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.
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
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! 😊
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! 😊
What HomeKit devices have been reliable in your smart home?

My experience 100%. Great to hear.
I have a cross-section of old and new devices from the Apple ecosystem. The HomePod Mini is the latest and my favourite so far.
The HomePod mini is awesome! Thanks for watching! 😊
Love my Nanoleaf bulbs, and my Eve plugs! Nice work with this, Adam.
Glad you had a good experience wit those! I personally haven’t had a good time with those. Thanks for watching! 😊
Great find with the addressable light strips! Appreciate your sharing these tips Adam

@@AdamsTechLife Interesting, I have many issues with LIFX. I believe Thread uses channel 11 on your router, what is your Thread setup like?

I have the Emerson Sensi thermostat. It works great with HomeKit.
Oh that’s good. Haven’t heard of that myself. Thanks for watching! 😊

Why not Nanoleaf bulbs?
This was sharing my personal experience with hk devices. I did not find nanoleaf to be reliable. Thanks for watching! 😊
Was a few years ago now but I had nothing but a nightmare with all lifx lights!
Oh man, not good. Been smooth sailing for me so far. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@AdamsTechLife maybe they’ve been updated I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️ not a problem, keep it up!
Did you use the eve devices before or after thread compatibility? Just curious.

Good breakdown.
Thanks for watching! 😊 glad you enjoyed it
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.
Great products!
The best! Thanks for watching! 😊
i like all the Meross stuff
Meross is great. Thanks for watching! 😊
Nice job, just sub in.

Homekit needs a dependable smoke alarm.
Roberto, I agree! Thanks for watching! 😊
And a better doorbell camera selection as well.
I have 3 OneLink’s, rock solid for over a year.
The aqara smoke detector is homekit enabled
