Of all the things I shouldn't have asked her to do, this is the thing I shouldn't have asked her to do the most. I gave my wife a 15-year-old laptop and told her to install Home Assistant on it and walked away. This is the result. This video is sponsored by Roborock, all opinions are my own If you've ever thought about installing Home Assistant and wanted to know the easiest way of doing it, this video provides an overview of how to install Home Assistant on a mini PC, what to expect, and some tips on how to get started with Home Assistant once it's installed. Lesson learned: If you want to install Home Assistant on a laptop make sure the laptop has UEFI support first!

I did every test a person can throw at an air purifier so you don’t have to—including the one question we all need answered: does an air purifier react to farts? We’ll find out today. I fill an entire room with fog, test vape aerosol, investigate PM2.5 and pollen, examine the filter, check the official AHAM performance figures and connect the DREO 530S to Home Assistant. I’ll also show you DREO’s 720S whole-room heater and silent 711S convection heater. This DREO 530S Smart Air Purifier video review is sponsored by DREO, all opinions are my own.

The Gamers Nexus LG feud is weird. Privacy is important when it comes to technology, and especially your TV, but I think Gamers Nexus has gotten a little bit carried away. Am I wrong?

Shokz have entirely lost the plot with the Shokz OpenDots 2. THIS SHOKZ OPENDOTS 2 VIDEO REVIEW IS SPONSORED BY SHOKZ. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. These open-ear earbuds have no right to sound as good as they do. Shokz has somehow crammed two opposing 11.8mm drivers into each tiny ear cuff, alongside Bassphere 2.0, DirectPitch, MirrorPitch and enough other engineering terminology to make a normal pair of headphones feel embarrassingly underqualified. In this Shokz OpenDots 2 review I test the sound quality, bass, comfort, battery life, call quality and sound leakage. I also compare them with the original OpenDots and the Shokz OpenFit Pro to find out what has genuinely improved—and whether any of this magnificent overengineering is actually worth £179. Are the OpenDots 2 an astonishing piece of miniature audio engineering, or have Shokz simply lost their damn minds? There is also an angry goose. It’s a long story. 🛒 BUY THE SHOKZ OPENDOTS 2 HERE As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Using these links earns me a commission at no additional cost to you.

One tiny chip inside this hardwired Aqara H2 UK smart wall socket fixed my entire smart home—literally every last problem. In this Aqara Wall Outlet H2 UK review, I test a Matter over Thread smart wall socket that can switch to Zigbee mode, with energy monitoring, USB-C charging and compatibility with Home Assistant, Apple Home/HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. I also cover smart socket installation, Thread border routers and diagnosing a Matter/Thread mesh in Home Assistant. This video is sponsored by Aqara. All opinions are my own. Also featured is the Aqara Power Plug H2 UK—the best smart plug I’ve tried yet. This 13A energy-monitoring smart plug also switches between Matter over Thread and Zigbee modes, and I’m putting them everywhere… That’s what she said. Matter over Thread and Zigbee are switchable modes; they do not operate simultaneously. 🛒 BUY THE AQARA H2 WALL SOCKET Affiliate disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Tapo just released the most innovative Home security update in years with their C675D Kit and the H500. This Tapo C675D review video is sponsored by Tapo all opinions are my own Looking for a 4K outdoor security camera with 24/7 recording, local storage, no subscription and no monthly fees? The solar-powered Tapo C675D KIT appears to offer almost everything people want from a wireless home security camera. Its two 4K lenses provide a permanent wide-angle view while a separate pan-and-tilt camera follows people, vehicles and pets. It also includes free AI detection, night vision and 24/7 Continuous Capture—but that isn’t conventional continuous video recording, so I’ll show you exactly what it captures. I’m also reviewing the Tapo H500 CentralHub, which offers expandable local security-camera storage, facial recognition and multi-camera monitoring without requiring cloud storage fees. Together, the C675D and H500 could form an incredibly capable subscription-free home security system—but both have limitations you should understand before buying. This video is sponsored by Tapo.
