I’m surprised he isn’t using z-wave.
The Orbi are genuinely terrible! I had them and sold them off to use my ISP supplied router lol who wants a subscription for their WiFi lol
Marques I’d love to do all this but being a privacy freak I don’t want the world watching my life … you’re obviously (!) a superstar so how do you manage tech privacy controls? It seems companies are moving in the direction of selling products with no actual security features but then offering a subscription for that (yes I’m looking at you Netgear routers with no privacy unless you buy a subscription to Armor) which is a big NO NO for me …
WOW, today I know you are a Canadian until I saw your adapter, I thought you are a American before!
I use to respect you until I say your thermostat temperatures 😱
One year later, offer still stands dude. Would love to take you through a home with a full automation system.
good
Can we have 2024/2025 Update of this video?!
How much u pay for the WiFi?

Home assistant is for sure the way to go. It supports basically all smart home tech. Literally amazing
Can we get a 2024 update please
My battery lasts like two months at my apt complex. That’s with people constantly walking by
Not sure what I am doing wrong but I cannot even get close to 900 mbps speeds. Even though I have a 1000/1000 fiber connection and a wired mesh network 😅…
Nest Learning Thermostat can’t even do “hold” temperature setting. 👎
Update? Pliz
This is going straight to my favorites.
HI Marques! Hope this video gets an update. I am currently building my smart home too and using Google’s.
tbh the idea of having an internte connected smart lock, weirds me out
Bro, get the smart light switches instead of bulbs. The bulbs are extremely glitchy and on occasion (year or so) they can all just go off and then you will have to do the whole set up. Switches are much more reliable and you don’t have to worry about getting over priced bulbs. The only downside is that you won’t be able to change light bulb colors.
Mann you rich . Big up mkbhd
Please update for this year
Is there an updated video? I really want to see how it looks like now😮
The effort you put into this shows.
The I looks like a |
Can you keep the video format this way for every video. The way it perfectly fits my screen is amazing
I agree on everything but having google branded home tech.
My entire house is running Google Home as well. I literally ran out of wall plugs and had to use power strips to connect all my gadgets 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Box Office of this movie had to of been $950,000,000,000,000
I have a normal switch in my bathroom that turns on both light and fan, does anyone know if there’s smart solution to just be able to turn fan on? At night when showering i turn on a dim lamp instead to keep my circadian rythm in check.
You need something like Control4 or even HomeAssistant.
We need an update
So I’ve looked but haven’t come across anything, but has he done a recent video on the best smart lock for 2024? Does anyone have any recommendations on something reliable?
I do the same in the morning. I hate mornings, but whenever i turn the alarm off, Alex’s turns my TV on, tells me the day, the date, the current temperature inside, the current temperature outside, the weather forecast, whats on my calendar, plus a couple business related things
1080p video is awful looking.
Can we get a 2025 update please
Google? No thanks
I use Eufy products because some of it’s products are Apple Homekit compatible. Stopped using Ring because Eufy with Homekit + iCloud subscription is a great save.
@MKBHD what would you suggest for those of us that want to live in the Apple ecosystem?
Slowly moving away from the inconsistency of Phillips Hue and moving to Lutron smart switches with regular LED’s and DMF lighting. Couple that with HomeKit and Home Assistant and it’s a pretty stable system.
After a decade of being a Google fan boy, I can honestly say that Home Assistant is where it’s at for smart home systems. Google Home keeps getting worse, not better.
yo bro same satelite of orbi!!!
Really informative
1000 dollars later? I live like the Jetsons y’all. No joke. My home is totally automated.
This is def not a nest ad…….dude fell off, I hope he loses all his success. Sellout.
The Nest thermostats are pretty terrible. They still use internal batteries even though they are hardwired and as the batteries fail so will your hvac. I’ve seen many houses with feeezing pipes because the Nest failed without warning, including my own. My Dad owned an HVAC company and refused to use Nest because of my research. The engineers at Nest even told me it’s not ideal.
Bro is selling
Need to check out Vivint smart home, best equipment all designed and manufactured in house at Vivint.

We need another one with Thread devices! Also, look into Inovelli smart switches
