You will need a Matter Thread border router in your home to setup the eve matter plug, ie one from Google, Amazon or apple or another supplier. For Google that's Nest WiFi or the nest Hub gen 2, I believe the new Chromecast that's just announced is also a matter thread border router.
So if I connect the two HUE bridges to the HUE Essentials application at the same time as the HUE application, what happens? Can I manage with both I BRIDGE applications without losing anything?
At a voltage drop it stopped and the operation (touchpad) I tried everything but I couldn't reinstall the driver for the tochpad. Who can help me in this regard? I have exactly the same model as in the presentation.
Yes, you can use this just as a stand alone device or as I have connected it to Home Assistant, as long as you have a ZigBee antenna connected to your home assistant.
I have an older hp omen that does NOT have a usb c port, but does have an hdmi port. If I connect my laptop to the hub using the hdmi cable will it display to the monitors that are in plugged into the two display ports? I understand that won't feed power to my laptop, I just need the functionality of two monitors
If you don't have a usb c port it would be better to search Amazon for a cheaper USB A hub with 2 hdmi ports, that would work better for you. You should be able to get one for just under £50/ $65
@hometechUK I appreciate your response. Thank you! This hub is actually what I would need for bringing my work laptop home. I guess I wanted to be able to switch between personal and work laptop while being able to utilize the dual monitor for both.
Just got one of these mint but second hand watching these video's before I use , But one question the kg light is staying on and you are using daily mode does that mean that the load is to heavy for that program...?? I thought if you got a 8kg machine you could put upto 8kg in it but the manual seems to say you can only put 3 kg in on daily 59 wash am I reading that correctly as this seems daft if its a 8 kg machine must admit im a little confused regarding this and I can't seem to find any viedos for this machine that helps clarify this , so if some can explain I would be very gratefull eve on mixed it seems to say you can only put in 4kg so whats the point of it being a 8k machine...??? And will / could it damage it if you put more in even if its under 8kg doesn't any make sense to me ...
I had to get one of these, not because I was bothered about incorrect temp settings so close to radiator, but guests in my bnb were accidentally removing the valve head when trying to adjust the temperature (seems a design flaw. Easy to remove, but too easy for your average joe who look at it as a standard thermostat, end up twisting the whole valve itself rather than the top half of the valve, resulting in the whole thing coming off altogether)
Had exactly the same issue. Resolved it by removing Google Hub (Gen 2) from my google Home, then resetting my Google Hub (Gen 2) to factory settings, then readding it to my Home and reconnecting it to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, then resetting the Aqara sensor to factory settings (10 fast presses of the button on the sensor) and then adding it to Google Home (ensure that the device used to do this is on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi). It worked!
i just got 3 at Currys they were £17 each but when he rang them up they came out at £9 each . i haven't had chance to try them yet . thanks for this video ill use it tomorrow
I got a problem, if I follow all the steps. and want to configure the theme, nothing changes in the dashboard. I can select the iOS themes. what did I do wrong?
This solution works but is indeed a bit awkward imho. My household has a mix of devices that Google "sees". When the PIR has a motion alert it will switch on a (Tuya) light (using a Smart Life scene). When Google Home senses that light coming on (during daytime) it announces "Your mailbox saw something" then switches off the light. No Alexa required there.
