FINALLY a video for all of us who want to save some money! These work out of the box and most are on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/smarthomesolver/list/1Q6HYSGUNF697?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_XJBFPBYJPN4ETJ6377J8
Try Reolink CX410. It is just 4mp, but it is magical. I can’t distinguish daylight image from full moon image!
Do you have any recommendations for sliding glass doors/windows? Like sensor for sliding action and glass breaking or would that be accomplished by a combination of the door sensor and vibration sensor that you showed in the video?
Thanks for all the suggestions, really useful video. Btw do you have any suggestion for 3WAY switch? i dont think TPlink/KASA has a 3WAY version, just looking for one that works on Zigbee as the ones you suggested without needing the app.
I’m calling BS on the KASA/Tapo light having horrible connectivity. I’ve got 6 of them both inside AND outside of our 2-story home. We’ve NEVER had an issue with them. You DID set them up using the Tapo app, right as the KASA app directs you to do so if you try to use that one instead?
