I'm trying to figure out how I can take a USB from a computer, run it through an Ethernet CAT6 cable to another location and then turn it back into a USB connection...
This was super helpful! I bought the Atem w/Car & Desk accessories 4 years ago when I learned I was exposed to biotoxins (i.e. molds, actinomycetes, endotoxins) and was highly sensitive. This was a lifesaver and the easy portabiilty was great as I had to move to different locations. I came looking for a video like this since I learned my home again has biotoxins causing illness (CIRS) for me and family members and wanted to use the Atem again in my car. As I am moving items in my car to the garage at the clean home (for proper wipe down before allowing them in my clean home), I realized that I want to ensure these organisms aren't in the air in my car. I am missing the plug and wasn't sure if the straps were intact. Your video was more helpful than the resources on IQAir's website to show me exactly what I need to get this working again. Thank you!!! And I love IQAir. Have multiple of their large HealthProPlus units.

The IKEA DIRIGERA - Google Home integration is EXCEEDINGLY buggy. It no longer works using Android 14 and IKEA Home App version 1,17.0. The app freezes when attempting to connect and users see a black screen.
Thank you for clearing up that you must be in EUFY app to activate / connect to HOMEKIT. This was missing for me. I have found that it is worth a double check with other apps and smart home devices to confirm their relationships with each other if necessary.
Good review! App works on the Apple M1 Mini-mac and there is a skill for Alexa, but Alexa always returns "I don't understand" or "I'm not sure". Just tested the latter again. The Alexa skill does not provide actionable device data.
Cuz the third time I tried to leave for simple comment and say that you did a really good job on your video everybody and I hope that your channel is really well you won't have overlap so I'm not going to subscribe but keep up the good work I hope that you have a wonderful RU-vidr career your partner working hopefully it won't click cancel otherwise I have three comments in a row here in either case great review
Hello, Quick question i have this camara and when im not in my home, i cant paly camara with my celular data or connected in to another wifi connection, only works on the Eufy app. Do you know why happen this?
Why does mine work so terribly regarding particle counts?? I can literally place it on top of the dog beds where there is visible dust accumulation, dog comes and lay there (Great Dane and Doberman in same place who wrestle in the DIRT covered back yard) and even though I place it on continuous monitor from the advanced menu, it still says ZERO particles!!! I literally have to blast AC air into the hole of it for it to start registering any kind of higher particle counts. So if you want to measure particles to prove to your husband we need more filters and that we need to fix the terrible backyard made of dirt (replace with fake grass or SOMETHING) then this device will only prove there is NO problem at all when the accumulation of dirt and dust in a matter of 2 days after dusting and then you see pure brown dirt particles on your rag, then maybe buy this unit to prove there is no dirt or dust problem in your home (ignorance is bliss, right?)! This device only works to measure CO2 and maybe temp but NOT particles at all (which was why I spent 300 wasted dollars on it to begin with!!! 🤦🏻)!
I recently purchased two Echo Studio's and a Subwoofer. The audio is nice (i.e., bass, mid range and treble) when playing music from Amazon Music; however, whenever, I play movies, the volume is too low. I can hear the sound all around me; however, I wish it was louder. I feel like I’ve tried everything such as: • While in Home Theater mode, the only audio setting available is Dolby Digital Plus. The PCM and Dolby Digital options are greyed out. • Under Devices of the Alexa app, I selected the Echo Studio and confirmed all three speakers are paired. I increased the volume to the max setting. • Under audio settings on my Fire TV Cube, I toggled both the Volume Leveller and Dialogue Enhancer on and off. • Under audio settings In the Alexa app, I toggled the “spatial audio” on and off. • I restarted my Fire TV Cube (even unplugging it) Have anyone else experienced low volume using the Alexa Home Theater? Is so, any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
I have an oil hurricane lamp I converted to electric with a candelabra socket, this would be perfect in that. Can make it look like a flame or a lava lamp. I have Philips Hue lights in most lamps, but these are a lot cheaper and I don't need all the advanced features of Hue in every light.
Hi. I have the wardrobe ikea lights with sensors but with no doors on the wardrobe so sadly the light sensor doesn't work as I now know it's to do with light and not motion. If I buy the smart motion sensor will this then work?? Please help this is driving me crazy 😢😂
I know that this vid was 2yrs ago but i just wondering what u mentioned here that after a while it became inaccessible via home app meaning that ios wont tolerate the 3rd party bulbs or the cheap smart accessories?what a shame im about to purchase this bulb online just for my homekit settings😔
I wish you’d do a video about how to connect it all together. I have a similar set up, but just acquired the Sonos arc… Can’t seem to get the connections right… Had previously had it hooked up to a Marantz receiver, and it worked beautifully with the hue sync box and lights. I’m also an apple person, so I was trying to run my Apple TV an Xbox through the sync box.. So would love to see a video of how you hooked all that stuff up together…
How good is it to use essential oils with it? Because vocolinc did specify to use water soluble essential oils which most of them being sold on the net (Amazon etc) aren't water soluble. Does it damage the device to use the regular essential oils?
