Your Window Blinds Are Dumb. Make Them Smart In 10 minutes

YouTube player
This video is a review and tutorial for the Soma Smart Shades solar powered motor for Alexa and Apple Home kit. You can install it in under 10 minutes and it will work with any pulley blind including light curtains, roller blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds and wooden blinds.

I’ve achieved this with my Amazon Echo Dot by installing the Soma Connect skill via the Alexa app and by using the additional Soma Connect hardware.

If you’d like to buy this motor and the accompanying hardware controller then please visit their shop at: www.somasmarthome.com

The Soma Connect is a simple and easy Smart Home solution, but it isn’t cheap. You are paying for the convenient 10 minute installation, the solar power aspect of it and the reliability of the product. If you’re looking for a cheaper (but more convoluted and hard wired) solution then check out my previous video for controlling roller blinds here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z66CwQ6Qpj8

This review / tutorial is in typical Paul Hibbert style so you might want to mute your Alexa and Google Home devices

Xiaomi VS Samsung: 9 Reasons I’m Done With Samsung Phones

YouTube player
Since 2012 I’ve only ever used Samsung Smart phones, so why am I switching to a £217 Xiaomi A2 phone from China?

In this video I pit 2 phones against each other: Xiaomi A2 versus S7 edge. The S7 edge still retails at £375 for a new phone (non-refurbished), the A2 is currently £217 at time of writing and beats the S7 edge in almost every category.

I review the features of both the S7 edge and Xiaomi A2 and prove once and for all that we’re paying for a brand name not a phone. Goodbye Samsung.
=========================

“Will The Xiaomi A2 work in my county?” “Will The Xiaomi A2 work on my network?”
I am using the Three network and I am able to get 4G, but this depends on your provider. This tool will allow you to search for your country, and then your carrier to determine whether this phone will give you 4G speeds: goo.gl/BFUcE5

Broadlink Alternative: Energenie Mi Home

YouTube player
The Broadlink RF functionality is STILL not working in the EU for Alexa or Google Home, so I’ve been on the hunt for Smart Home Broadlink alternatives until a fix for RF finally gives the EU back full functionality of RF plug sockets and RF light switches. If you’re looking for a Broadlink alternative then I may just have found something special. Question is, is it any good?

For under £90 the Energenie Mi home starter packs give you a smart home hub, 3 plug sockets, a light switch and a wireless ‘click’ switch. Energenie’s Mi home products are compatible with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, so it’s high time I checked out the Energenie Smart Home Starter bundle.

This review / tutorial is in typical Paul Hibbert style so you might want to mute your Alexa and Google Home devices 😉

Eneregenie starter kit UK: amzn.to/2pDrgI3
Energenie additional sockets (SEPARATE HUB PURCHASE REQUIRED!!): amzn.to/2NqowqL
Energenie flush built in wall sockets (SEPARATE HUB PURCHASE REQUIRED!!): amzn.to/2IHbGUf

Please note:

1. Infrared versus RF: Energenie doesn’t have the full functionality of the RM pro, it can’t control Infrared products, it isn’t a like for like alternative. If you’re looking for Infrared alternatives then hit me up on social media and I’ll give you my recommendations 😊

2. Can this control my existing RF stuff?: No, sadly not it’s all proprietary stuff, but a pack of 3 sockets is £25 so it’s still a really affordable replacement. I suppose it depends how much RF stuff you’ve got already but if you have a lot then there’s also this Sonoff product which controls most of my stuff (I couldn’t get it to learn my home easy light switches), but it will control most RF stuff… amzn.to/2QuCDNJ

3. Compatability: Energenie has 2 generations of smart home products. The first generation products are not controllable by the 2nd gen hub and vice versa, don’t accidentally buy 1st gen products for a 2nd gen hub!

4. Availability: Unfortunately Energenie aren’t widely available outside of the UK yet, though some products are for sale in other countries you will likely require an adaptor for your region.

What Is Brief Mode And How do I Enable It?

So what is brief mode? Is it any good? How do I enable brief mode in the Alexa app? Brief mode has just been released in the UK, so it seemed like a good time to check it out. Is it worth it?

The Hidden Tesco Skill for Alexa And Google Home

YouTube player
This skill is not available on the Skills store, but can be created in under 5 minutes. This tutorial will teach you how to create a Google Home or Alexa Skill to add items to your Tesco online shopping basket on TescoDirect.

This skill works for Tesco UK, but it would be good to know if it works globally, so let me know in the comments if you’ve got it working in your country for either Alexa or Google Home. I’ve had it working on my Amazon Echo dot, My Amazon Echo show and my Google Home.

The skill uses IFTTT, but it’s super easy I promise, so don’t be nervous, jump right in!

This is a typical Paul Hibbert tutorial, so you might want to mute your Amazon Echo or Google Home before you watch 😉
