Bro, your awesome presentation style and humour just earned you an instant sub and like! Well done, you’re fantastic!! Love your energy!
ohhh great… now the hoover bots are out to get us on the stairs to, before long we will have to climb a tree to escape them..AI is sending us right back to our ancestors.. nahhh
Great video as always. Really excited for Govee to work nicely again with Smartthings. Have you heard when and if existing devices will work?
I bet you the LOCK Picking Lawyer can get past that lock in less than 2 minutes.
All these cameras would be great, but for the need for any kind of connectivity. Local only. No app, just webUI. Why is that so hard to do these days?
