I sat down to lunch with Broadlink in London to discuss their upcoming new app and products and hopefully not get punched in the face for my previous videos, spoiler alert: I’m still just as pretty as I was before. I got my hands on the tiny new RM Blackbean mini (The RM4 mini), We discussed their new Broadlink RM pro (The RM4 pro), I took away one of their new Smart bulbs (the Broadlink SB1) and we’ve been chatting since about their upcoming dimmable plug socket (The SP4). This video is a breakdown of what is to come, but following this video there will be more indepth reviews of all of these products including their upcoming zero-configuration (Fastcon) technology and “NoApp” solutions which will work directly with Alexa and Google Home without any need for the Broadlink app at all! Speaking of apps, there is a new one on the way and this video will give you a sneak preview in advance of beta testing. Details of how to join the beta test for the new Broadlink app will be available in an upcoming video. Also in this video is the answer to why Broadlink decided to change the name of the “Broadlink Smart Home Skill” The Broadlink guys turned out to be absolutely lovely, very complimentary and more open than ever before to listen to feedback on their old products and their new products for 2019. Their Vice President is very candid with me and quick to respond, so I’m looking for feedback on any current issues so I can help them get the attention they need, please hit me up in the comments with any known issues you are experiencing so I can put together a list, I’m fairly confident there are still problems with the TC2 light switch, but I could be wrong! ==================== FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram a brother: www.instagram.com/hibberthometech Twitter me up: www.twitter.com/hibberthometech Facebook the heck out of me: www.facebook.com/hibberthometech BUY ME A BEER Donate to the channel: paypal.me/PaulHibbert Become a monthly contributor on Patreon: www.patreon.com/paulhibbert 🙂 UK: amzn.to/2Oqdgfg US: amzn.to/2xkT1ID ==================== BUY A RELATED SMART HOME PRODUCT: AMAZON Echo dot UK: amzn.to/2PSyNSE US: amzn.to/2BuN3YQ Echo: UK: amzn.to/2PSyNSE US: amzn.to/2BuN3YQ BROADLINK RM Pro (And RF plugs) Broadlink RM pro UK: amzn.to/2fBFyrg Broadlink RM pro US: amzn.to/2LZF1d1 RF Plug sockets UK: amzn.to/2QBWT3K RF Plug sockets US: amzn.to/2PqU4xB CURTAIN TRACK MOTOR Amazon UK: amzn.to/2KaaY2A DE: www.amazon.de/dp/B07HJ1LWZ8 FR: www.amazon.fr/dp/B07HJ1BYKM IT: www.amazon.it/dp/B07HHZJ3FB CONTROL YOUR TV AND INFRARED DEVICES CHEAP!

Imagine all your smart home devices all in one smart home app? Now imagine if it didn’t even need an Internet connection! This Smart home hub is seriously the best hub I’ve seen for amalgamating all smart home devices in one place for dashboards and touch panels, but also for Alexa and Google Home integration. I’ve managed to import my Philips Hue, my Ikea products, my Xiaomi Aqara products, and my cheap Chinese Zigbee 3.0 and Z-wave stuff, and I can control it all locally without the Internet! For anything that can’t be controlled natively there is a community creating drivers to make your stuff work, and worst comes to worst there’s always IFTTT. I am yet to find something I can’t connect to it one way or another! I now have just one Alexa Smart Home skill because any device that is controlled by Hubitat can be advertised to Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT… Or not if you want to keep them off the Internet, you literally tick the ones you want to advertise and it’s that simple. The versatility and configurability is endless, it can be as private or as public as you like. This is basically Home Assistant for dummies, and Smart things for nerds.

Tired of peeing all over your floor in the middle of the night? Not anymore. This smart toilet light is game changing, wonderfully ridiculous and at only £7.99 you can’t not buy it. At first glance it is possibly the most ridiculous device I’ve featured so far, but it is actually perfect for toilet training both kids and adults. It will improve your aim I promise 😉 It will auto-rotate through the colours, or you can pick any static colour you like. A motion sensing ,colour changing smart toilet seat light, how could buying this possibly get you in trouble with your missus?

Philips Hue lights and bulbs are expensive, but there are alternatives that work with the Philips Hue hub, with the Ikea Tradfri hub and with Samsung Smartthings hub and they cost less than half the price! This Ceiling light / Downlighter is obviously intended for your ceiling, but it works great in place of a Philips Hue Lamp with a little DIY.
