YouTube Video UCYLnawaM-36HncBBUeWrlGA_xA6B0Co0mzU Broadlink just released a secret Smart Home protocol called Fastcon BLE and it solves EVERYTHING!  It's local, it's private, it's mesh capable and it's super cheap

This video is sponsored by Broadlink, all opinions are my own.

Broadlink's new products adopt a new protocol called Fastcon BLE, which is based on Bluetooth but WAY more powerful.  This has enabled them to make a smart home light switch that requires no neutral wire, and in fact no wiring whatsoever!  It pairs directly to a smart bulb and so needs no Internet connection and no hub and despite all this is entirely local and completely private.

The products themselves form a bluetooth mesh that gives the smart home unbelievable range, and these may just be the best smart home devices of 2022

***UPDATE*** 
Broadlink plan to localise the timers on the hub "very soon", and also have agreed that the buttons on the switch should have more flexibility for gestures such as hold, double click and even triple click!  They are discussing this internally now.

This Just Solved Your Smart Home's BIGGEST Problem
YouTube Video UCYLnawaM-36HncBBUeWrlGA_xA6B0Co0mzU
Govee Hexa vs Nanoleaf: This video is a side by side comparison using an actual luminometer, and the Govee Glide Hexa light panels are NOT an alternative to Nanoleaf, Nanoleaf aren't even in the same league.

This video is sponsored by Govee, all opinions are my own.

The Govee Hexa Glide panels have more brightness for each colour, and more functionality thanks to the RGBIC technology that can produce more than one colour at a time.

This is a 10 Panel kit for £189 with the same music functionality as the Nanoleaf Aurora Rhythm, and a back light design similar to the Nanoleaf Elements range.

The Matter Smart Home release date is set for fall 2022, but the whole thing is a con and I can prove it.

Matter smart home devices are set for release later this year, but there are a whole bunch of existing Smart Home devices that you would expect to be a part of this release that are being made obsolete.  

We were promised an IP based technology that didn't require a hub and yet Philips Hue have already confirmed their bridge will become a Matter Smart Home hub.

Zigbee and Thread already provided an avenue for these companies to make products that could talk to one another, and they chose not to utilise it for the greater good, what is different this time?  Nothing.

This Zigbee lock  is a full blown mortice lock and has a thumbprint scanner, mechanical keys, card reader and touch screen keypad.  You can schedule temporary keycodes for cleaners and other visitors and unlock the door from across the world.

Until someone create a Home Assistant device driver, or Amazon create a device driver for Alexa you will still need Zemismart's Zigbee bridge, but this bridge opens up a lot more possibilities for connecting Zigbee devices to your smart home and allows Apple Homekit fans to finally have access to cheap Zigbee devices that work within the apple homekit system.

NFC tags in home automation have been a thing for a while, but they've finally been worked into an ecosystem in a way that anyone can use. 

The video is sponsored by SwitchBot, all opinions are my own. 

SwitchBot's new E27 smart bulbs and B22 smart bulbs are brighter and more saturated than Philips Hue for all colours, so as a Philips Hue alternative they are an absolute bargain at £11 each!

All SwitchBot products work with Amazon Alexa, and work with Google home and IFTTT.

The Yeelight Light bar is a desk lamp, but it's a desk lamp with an unexpected feature.

This video is sponsored by Yeelight, all opinions are my own.

If you're looking for an alternative to the Philips HDMI sync box for gaming then the Yeelight Light bar has built in RGB lights that can sync to the picture on any Desktop PC using Razer Chroma, and this has the added advantage that you can use more than one manufacturer.

The Yeelight LED light bar works with Google Assistant, works with Alexa, and works with Home Assistant.

As well as being a review of the Yeelight LED light bar.  This video also explains how to connect Razer synapse to your Yeelight lights.

Yeelight have confirmed that it is currently impossible to use more than one Yeelight as part of the Ambilient awareness mode.  They have advised this is apparently a result of the new Razer Chroma API, so fingers crossed that Razer and Yeelight both make an update too allow more than one Razer light at a time.
