I used to follow overseas smart tech RUclipsrs, but their suggestions often fell short in our(Singapore) context. Thankfully I stumbled upon Alex's content. Your insights and recommendations are spot on for Singaporean homes.
hopefully i can do my part to push more smart home tech in singapore!
True! Their content are oftentimes unrealistic. Keep up the good work alex
Great video Alex
yes yes yes! please do a round up yearly on your top 10 and any other bonus items that we could consider!!
Didn't know about the flic twist till you post about it. Can't wait to try it out once it comes to control my sonos & nanoleaf. Thank you from another Alex :)
Another great video. All nice products in one single video sharing. Thank you!
Really amazing video.
Love the video as always! The rain sensor is genius
yes it is, raining now while writing this comment haa
Philips Hue Festavia and Twinkly lights are a great addition too specially during this festive season.
Time to start planning for xmas decor!

Thanks to you, I was convinced with your suggestion for the Dreame Ultra, pulled the trigger and my wife is super happy with the robot. It really is a wonderful machine, I can’t recommend enough!!! ❤
Nice!
Wat abt ecovacs x2? Which is better?
Luv your content as its informative and interesting
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video! Hope to see more videos on all the latest home tech review.
sure!
Hey Alex, your video never disappoints! Thanks for sharing with us the smart tech scene. Question - I couldn't find any battery info on the rain sensor. Do you know what type of battery it uses?
thanks! battery is cr2032
Hi Alex, firstly, wow !! Your home setup is a geek's dream place. It would be great to go in depth into how to set up a presence sensor to connect to all the appliances thru the Google or Alex home automation systems! Again, thanks for sharing!
thanks man!
@@AlexTeo Simple question: what lock do you have for you HDB flat for the letterbox ? Any providers to share ? Thanks
Hi are you using double sided tape to install the mowe rain sensor on laundry rack?
Hi Alex, jus came across yur videos recently. very good tips for our local context. One question for you, where did you buy your nice marble dinning table? Tks. Blessed Christmas and New Year.
most of my furniture are bought from taobao, actually i want to get rid of my dining table, can DM me on IG if you are interested to get it
tks will revert@@AlexTeo
Hey Alex, great video. I got the MOWE rain sensor but I have a homey pro smart hub, any idea how to connect this up? Do I need to get another zigbee mesh gateway for the sensor?
eh i am not a user of homey but from my understanding, you will need to access the homey app store, and search for the device provider
Thanks for the video mr never feel bad about being sick and don't feel you have to soldier on for our sake. I am sure there are financial reasons you do. I bought these even though I do have the Australian versions of the previous release I havent even opened those yet. Pitty about the packaging with sticky residue hope mine won't have that issue.
???
thanks for the video. u mentioned aqara g4 inside, but I think previously u never reviewed this before, or only the nest doorbell.. Can I check with u whether the doorbell syncs to the google hub/tablet when someone presses it? like will a live footage or short video appear?
It's not directly integrated like the google nest, but you can set routines on google home such that when doorbell ring, use a google assistant command to show the doorbell
Hi, i remb u did the door laminate rite? Which company was it? I couldnt recall which video was it. Can recommend? Thx
from my yale luna smart door lock video
Hi Alex, do you know if it's possible to automatically send the video notification to Nest Hub from the Aqara G4 doorbell when someone rings the doorbell?
yeah just set a routine for it
How’s the switchbot hub 2? Would it be able to switch off the aircon when it drops below a certain temperature and turn it back on when it rises above a certain temperature? Lastly, is it able to switch off the display of the hub at night? The light on the hub can be very distracting for light sleepers.
The hub settings like the light can't be used in an automation action, but you can set auto brightness for it. The rest are simple automations you can set
Thanks for the great video! Does the SmartWings Motor and FP2 works with the SmartThings?
Smartwings yes, fp2 nope
Hi Alex, thanks for the video. Would like to add on the mowe rain sensor to HA like you. Any zigbee usb dongle you will recommend to pair with HA?
sorry i never look at them before
@AlexTeo how did you link the mowe to your HA without a zigbee dongle?
@@zhenghaoseo3126 i use home assistant yellow
@@AlexTeo no wonder :)
Hello! I’m curious how u managed to hot wire the G4 doorbell! My electrician said a transformer is needed and just recommended using batteries to power it.
I didn't, I mentioned its the only wireless smart doorbell for apple homekit!
@alex teo do you know if the flic twist will support HomeKit? Also does it support all lights?
no support for homekit, supported lights are philips hue, lifX and ikea
Hey Alex, I have a Dreame L10s Ultra and had to send it for repairs 3 times in the first 1.5 years. Do you face any QC issues with your previous L10s and current L20?
i don't use every robovac for 1.5 years, but none of them have any issues during those few months
@@AlexTeoThanks for the fast reply. I would say the Dreame's features are indeed as advertised, but the constant breakdowns are disappointing. Wish there was more coverage on Robovac reliability issues available.
Hello Alex, can i check for the Mowe Rain Sensor, how is it powered?
battery powered
Alex, the google pixel tablet hub, u order from Amazon USA and send to a warehouse to forward to Singapore? How much is the shipping cost ? Found Amazon sg have it but the price seems higher?
Next on the Aqara FP2, have you had the issue on the “ghost” effect as well as the zone or device keep indicating a “network connection time out” . I have some issue on this.
i always use ezbuy for US purchase, shipping is around $25, sometime amazon.com is much cheaper so i always buy from there. The FP2 takes time to find a placement and settings to get the best result
@@AlexTeo Subbed! So how exactly did you get the Pixel Tablet shipped to you in Singapore? It's a pain to use the freight forwarders
May I know if I can use the smart wings matter motor work for my blinds that is currently based on string pull? As I have a toddler at home, I’ve contacted a supplier of electric blinds because of safety and they say I need to replace all my blinds :(
i am not certain, best is to reach out to smart wings direct for advice
@@AlexTeo thank you so much for taking time to respond 🙏🏼
hello brother,
how you got home assistant on Pixel tablet? i ask because i have already been dealing with smart devices in home since 2020, but I've never used home assistant and I am pretty curious to add it to my home.
just install the app on the tablet :)
thanks brother@@AlexTeo
I just purchased the mowe rain sensor but it does not come with any mounting kit or tape. How do you mount your rain sensor such that it is stable and able to survive the wind and rain?
I use my own tape to stick
ahhh that stone cold ringtone, cultured man right there!
the attitude era!
Who did your decoration and design 👀👀. Your home has the clean futuristic look I want. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔥
yup i love it!
The dreame is gonna be my next upgrade once my s7 maxv ultra dies. Auto emptying/refilling the water is legit 👍🏽
Why not sell away the s7 maxv? 🙂
@@AlexTeo or how about doing a xmas giveaway 🫡😄
Can’t seem to find the Mowe Rain sensor on Amazon. Could u post the link please?
i posted a lazada link in the desc, if you are not from singapore then you got to check from your local tuya device manufacturers
Are Ikea Smart Blinds any good or value for money?
i have a video on it - ruclips.net/video/V0T0HmvB-pw/видео.html
I'm just done with black Friday shopping spree now got new things to buy 😅
gogogo!
1:20 haha.. ringtone I use for my iPhone. Beside that cool “Cause Stone Cold said so” ringtone, I am also rocking with the Cult of “CM Punk” personality ringtone. You should try this one and set your phone to maximum volume 😂🎉
i stopped watching after the attitude era haa
For switch bot 2, can the remote control IR coverage cover the whole house?
IR requires line of sight like a normal remote control
Can you do an update video on the latest handheld vacumm cleaner?
Will consider, thanks for the suggestion!
The dreambot L20 ultra can install urself? is it easy?
not very difficult
Hi Alex, do you use an air purifier?
nope i don't
hi Alex, can i know if the smartwings motor works with any blinds? is there certain specs?
i dare not say any blinds but i will say most, the weight of the entire blind and the size of the tube matters, just contact customer support if you want to be sure before making any purchase
@@AlexTeo thank you. i placed an order anyway.
@@AlexTeo hi Alex, i got my motor but the black rubber part that goes into the blind seems bigger than my blinds. can i know if you did any modification to yours? it seems so easy to slide in in your video! haha
@@ericting2781 no motivations, it has to be very fitting else it cant turn the blinds
@@AlexTeo noted, thank you!
How did you get the pixel tablet for 399 sia..
Just for the rose color because i think nobody want that haa, the black friday deals should be around this price too provided still have stock
Love your PC can share where to get it thks
custom build :)
hi can i just add... the smartwings motor is not a easy plug-and-play option. turns out roller blinds tube widths are not that standardised. many tube dimensions out there. Smartwings motor are meant for 1.5inch tube diameter. i just bought 3 motors to realise they are too small to fit. hopefully I'm able to return them now..
thanks for sharing
what about a review on Aqara Magic Switch?
nothing very magical, the only gd point is that it can trigger homekit scenes
Hi I’m from India and would like to buy dreame robot. Is the product geo locked and can it work in other countries
there is a region setting in the app but I am not sure whether there are any features locked behind it
@@AlexTeo if possible can you please get more details on that in your video. Thanks
I like you robot dog GaN charger.
wow you can actually spot it
Dude do you have mention “Alexa “ overall good video
Im just sad the G4 is not in portrait, so I still went with the Google Nest
yup, the selling point is pretty much just the homekit integration
75ms for gaming ?
yeah its fine for gaming
Okay perfect I play casually anyway 😂
I have a room to redo 😂, how do I contact you?
DM me on IG :)
i still prefer xiaomi doorbell
nahhhhhh
You have Black Friday in Singapore? I am sorry haha.
yup! not worldwide?
@@AlexTeo I thought it was only an American bad habit 😀
But they dont know they need the chime
Then we need more people to watch this video so that they will know this!
The thing is a lot of these smart home products are from China. I know we are all basically in China's pocket already, but for doorbell and security products, I still look for European or American brands.
I don't care about this because im a nobody
You slurr your speech too much to hear some of the useful bits
sorry about that, you can turn on subtitles if that helps
