I'm Alex! I'm in my late 30s as a Solution Engineer at Salesforce (MuleSoft). I born and live in Singapore, a typical Singaporean guy. Welcome to my channel where I like to make home tech and desk setup related types of videos. Doing room makeover, comparison test reviews and sharing a buyer’s guide as an average consumer. I travel a few times each year and enjoy showcasing travel destinations while reviewing some travel tech at the same time!

Thanks for the video Alex! Was wondering about this exact situation for my upcoming BTO (since my SO likes the sleek look of the in-wall AP so much). Could I ask how would you handle security for your IOT devices and how you would segregate your home network? After doing my research, it seems that people tend to create a separate VLAN for their IOT devices (in case they are compromised), however I am unsure how to set up the ACL and if the ER7212PC supports setting up separate VLANs (internal, IOT, guest) or roaming for swapping between APs with the best signal strength?

Hello, great video! I have a question If i have a samsung tv is it enough to only get the phillips light (i mean without that sync box and the white thing) and just upload the phillips app on the tv?(and do i have to also pay for the app?

So if I buy a package of 3 units, does that mean that I have to use 1 as a main node and the other 2 as satellites? The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to equip 3 rooms/3 parts of the house with Deco M4s. Should I then buy a set of 4?

Hmmm, so Google Home is the best option. Kool, this video narrowed down which app I will use to manage all my home smart devices. Not sure how Apple solution got such a high mark when it comes to not being free. But hey I get which you prefer.

Best 1 so far (forme) is the Philips HUE SYNC BOX.. Not the TV sync App. 😂 it goes hard in da paint.. It's pricy but worth it. & Then govee #2 with the dreamView.

I just bought the X20 vacuum cleaner on 16 April 2024. Product design may be a very big issue as the device became faulty in less than a month. To add to the heartache will be the processes of the technical & support team … quite unthinkable for such a reputable Company. PLEASE STICK TO THE OLDER MODEL WITHOUT FRILL. So sad & deeply disappointed.

@AlexTeo
@AlexTeo 6 дней назад
your living room needs to have a AP
@erzayusrina4239
@erzayusrina4239 9 дней назад
Ac + AP only applicable with copper cable ready inside the walls. If not ready, you have to ready to bear the charges for hacking or else you can see messy wire running around your house. Other option better go for FTTR solution by using invisible fibre cable. More reliable of course better throughput because of fiber.

While i do not want a camera at the top of my TV, the fact that it doesn't go through a box that might not be up to par with HDMI 2.1 and doesn't increase latency, which they all do, some worse than others, and this works with EVERY TV, no matter what brand, no TV app needed etc. and the price is pretty good, i think Govee is the way to go. For me at least. It's most future proof too i guess.

its pretty straight forward since there is a direct homekit integration in HA, then you can slowly remove devices one by one in homekit and add them in HA

Personal thoughts on trying to get a better network for my 4RM HDB flat, but realised I could actually just switch to my 4G/5G data while I am at the kitchen toliet (Wifi dead zone), and actually nowadays telco offer more and better 4G/5G data package which I will not able to finish it every month.. But if you have a nice budget, this video definitely is a good outcome/tips for new home owners. Great job Alex!
