So today we're going to be 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 go scene movie done and it
turns everything off so I'll show you guys what the app looks like I haven't
actually tried the remote itself but check this out it should be fairly
obvious which one's the high-tech one now that they're installed it logs into
the inston software automatically so here's your favorites
but there's a few different things so you can change some settings you can
check in seriously cares um you can add devices so front door hall light there
you go um there's my my movie time scene
so check this out first of all it still functions as a normal
switch see you can see it's 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 water sensor goes off and stuff like
that but uh yeah check it out guys I mean this home automation thing is it's
real it's coming it works I mean seriously like it works don't
forget to subscribe F this Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other
computer I mean this isn't a computer at all but whatever it's
cool I should clarify guys there's lots of different kinds of switches so
there's a dimmer wall switch which is not the kind that I have there that's an
onoff switch and then there's also keypads with dimmers so you can set up different sorts of um what does this do
replaces existing 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 or a remote control you could just go movie time and
it would control everything else in the room or you could just go just this one
and it would just control that very cool stuff
