having a look at it's not really it's sort of an unboxing like this is all the stuff that was in the box at a home automation product from Inson so right here this is the smart home hub so this guy right here communicates with your smartphone via Wi-Fi where they communicate with each other on RF and over power line but you have to actually have sort of the the uh the smart home thing that you can connect to Via your phone so this right here is an always on Outlet okay but this guy right here communicates with everything else so follow me and I'm going to show you guys how this works the starter kit comes with the Hub arrange extender as well as one dimmer module which you just plug into an outlet and then it dims whatever you plug into it preferably something like a lamp and not a computer or something like that so I have some of the breakers off in my house so things are a little dark so I'm going to put on my you can switch to infrared mode if you want so you guys can see what's going on everyone should have a hat like this so you can see here I have taken oh actually first of all come look over here so I put the extender in there so the range extender is right there which means throughout my entire house I should be able to access it with my phone and then there's a dimmer module around here somewhere I wish I could show you guys what that looks like I think it's upstairs anyway so here's a regular switch see regular We have replaced that with the inston switch so you can see right here it is a little bit sort of more more different from that one it's sort of bulky here at the back a lot of electronics going on in there so I'm going to go hit the breaker well okay something to bear in mind guys just be careful whenever you're playing around with these boxes make sure the power is off and make sure you know what you're doing uh I'll be back in just a moment so guys this gives you some idea of some of the cool stuff they have available so these remote controls can you can use without a smartphone um however you do still need the wireless transceiver module sorry sorry yeah so either a smartphone or something else can connect to it you can get thermostats there's another range EXT Wireless motion sensors um Door and Window sensors so you can have it do things like take a picture with your security camera when your front door opens every time um or you can have it uh turn on a light from dim to high when you um have a wireless motion sensor go off you can have it do things like oh scenes are cool so you can set up scenes so like if your living room you make a scene that changes all the lights in the living room so that maybe it leaves on one light over here and turns everything down when you're going to watch a movie so you just

just a rocker like it doesn't actually switch into position there you go and check this out so you go into the app you go to whatever devices you have frontal hor switch off and yay for demos that work until there we go front door on I haven't had it do that before so there you go on off uh I'm going to turn it on and then I'm going to go to the scene for movies because obviously I don't want this light right here on if I'm going to watch a movie right there so if I go scene movie time movie time on everything should go off if the whole house is done up but right now I only have one light switch done so um here hold on let me turn the light back on let me turn the light okay I guess I could just do this way um so there you go guys that's sort of the uh the concept here I'm going to set up a couple of different sorts of scenes and uh I'm going to do like a tech tips video about it but I think these things are pretty cool I believe they have oh Rumble no no no no my screwdriver bits please don't spill them um I believe they have things like uh recepticles although I'm not 100% sure about that I know they have things like water sensors so you can be like send me an email if the

wall switch works like a conventional dimmer switch up and down also works as a remote controlled switch so you can uh works with any inst on remote control blah blah blah their keypad and switch so you can program stuff and send signals to other inston devices so you could set up scenes for an entire room like as you go into the living room one of your dimmer switches instead of using your phone
