Yeah. Don’t explain. Just do it!

That is a solid idea

Thanks! Even through the screen the shade is staying charged. But I get an insane amount of light on that window so your mileage may vary

I knew I could make bad videos. Maybe even terrible videos. But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I could make THE WORST video on UA-cam. It is quite an achievement. Thank you, @A_reel_job_fishing. Please like and subscribe.

Well, it hasn’t blown over yet. What makes you so concerned?

At this point, I think the only way to keep lock picking lawyer from picking a lock is with land mines.

also since it only replaces the interior it’s the same keyhole outside. So if you could pick it before you can still pick it afterwards. Most locks are a lot easier to pick than people think

Pete, I had to leave your live stream early, but in a sub-comment here, I wanted to share more detail on LoRa… YoLink, an American vendor, leverages LoRa technology in their extensive range of smart home devices, offering distinct advantages over other protocols like Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth: 1. Range: YoLink’s LoRa-enabled devices provide significantly longer range (up to 10 km), surpassing the shorter ranges of Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. This is ideal for large properties and outdoor applications. 2. Power Consumption: YoLink devices are designed for low power consumption, making them ideal for battery-operated devices that need to operate for long periods. This efficiency outperforms Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth in similar applications. 3. Network Topology: YoLink uses a simple star topology, where devices communicate directly with a central gateway, simplifying network setup and maintenance compared to the mesh topologies of Zigbee and Z-Wave. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also use star topologies but with different range and power characteristics. 4. Scalability: YoLink’s ecosystem supports thousands of devices within a single network, making it highly scalable for large-scale deployments. This scalability is superior to the hundreds of devices supported by Zigbee and Z-Wave, and the limited capacity of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 5. Interference and Reliability: YoLink operates in sub-GHz frequency bands, which are less crowded and prone to interference than the 2.4 GHz band used by Zigbee and Bluetooth. This results in more reliable performance, particularly in environments with many competing signals. Z-Wave also uses sub-GHz bands but can vary by region. 6. Data Rate: YoLink devices, leveraging LoRa technology, have low data rates suitable for small, infrequent transmissions. This is in contrast to the moderate rates of Zigbee and Z-Wave, the high rates of Wi-Fi, and the varying rates of Bluetooth. 7. Cost: YoLink offers cost-effective solutions, with lower deployment and maintenance costs due to low power and long range capabilities. Initial gateway costs may be higher, but overall expenses are competitive with or lower than Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Wi-Fi. Bluetooth devices are generally low to moderate in cost but don’t offer the same range or scalability as YoLink. Breadth of Smart Home Devices YoLink boasts a comprehensive range of smart home devices, including but not limited to: • Sensors: Door/window sensors, motion sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, water leak sensors. • Smart Plugs and Switches: For controlling various electrical devices and lighting. • Security Devices: Smart locks, cameras, and alarm systems. • Environmental Control: Thermostats and smart irrigation controllers. Ease of Availability YoLink products are readily available through various channels, including major online retailers like Amazon, as well as their own website. This ease of availability ensures that consumers can conveniently purchase and expand their smart home systems. Overall, YoLink’s extensive product lineup, leveraging the advantages of LoRa technology, offers enhanced range, power efficiency, reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Combined with the ease of availability, YoLink presents a robust and accessible solution for smart home enthusiasts looking to set up or expand their systems.

Just an FYI-if you have a big enough order, send SmartWings an email and they’ll give you a bulk discount. I’m working on getting 22, and they offered 20% off of the total

Yeah, it definitely works well if you get sun (and you don’t put it in backwards)

Awesome, thank you!

Good point! Thanks

Haha! Thanks! Such a weird name for a shade company, but they make good stuff

Glad you liked that. If I showed uncut installation for most things I install I would probably be banned from UA-cam.

The m3 is accessed via the Aqara app on your phone

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 Thanks, I only want to setup for door sensor alarm and login from remote location. Funny the info is nowhere on this. So I can use m3 hub and sensors only and no google or homekit? Thanks

I had no trouble. Was your p2 previous joined to a different hub? If so, you’ll need to get the join code from that hub, otherwise perform a factory reset to join it directly to the m3
