here's the deal my house was built in
1985 or something along those lines and these are the original garage door
openers so i was like you know what i want to get
for myself i'm going to get myself a nice fancy
smart garage door opener and i bought this unit from chamberlain on amazon for
i don't know it was like a few hundred bucks or something it had good reviews or whatever and everything seemed hunky
dory i got it out i started opening it up and i'm reading the manual and i make
it all the way to this page in the manual that refers me to a website that
then i scroll like way down i click a thing and finally i find out that the if
this then that integration
for chamberlain's garage door openers is a subscription service Jake
can you be my can you be my you know expert consultant here for a minute is
there any reason that if this then that integration would require a subscription
like a paid subscription a paid subscription no i don't think so no no
there really isn't so i could afford it it was only a dollar a
month but the reality of it is that
chamberlain we're gonna do it ourselves we're gonna
take these ancient garage door openers we're gonna make them smart with the
help of what like 30 bucks worth of gear off ali express amazon you got that oh
amazon i got one more for you here this guy you got this guy
what's this cost i've these are like 30 bucks each all right you probably would
have better off just paying the fee this is gonna pay itself back in like
five years it's the principle of the thing
and speaking of the principle of the thing madrina's coffee madrinas blends
specialty cold brew coffees into 15-ounce grab-and-go cans for your
convenience and you can check them out and use offer code Linus we're gonna
have that down below to save 40 today
or even tomorrow but don't put it off like 40 that's crazy
so just to give you some idea how overdue home replacement is that's huge
that is because that's my garage door what the hell
well yeah it works of course it works oh yeah why would you
wow it doesn't work that well you can't you can't stop it yeah you can
oh so let's start with the highly advanced system um for my garage door
openers here we've got these two doorbell ringers oh they're not even
better 10 out of 10 um do you even push the
button no the the buttons are loose so
if you kind of jiggle them around they kind of go every once in a while they
just open on their own and they're definitely very very
attached to the wall wow you can replace those you know
they're just regular switches dude look at your neck
yes so Jake shot me with a nerf dart before
we started then over here we've basically got the safety sensitivity
like there's no there's no beam or anything that's just like how hard it's
gonna push on you before it stops
and then this is open and this is closed but like i don't know why are they on
lubey i don't really know what that is like it's like it's dripping grease yeah
i don't know do you get that on your car meanwhile i'm storing this in here with
this like epic garage by the time this video comes out this will not be in here
by the way guys so don't break into his house yeah please
so walk us through what we've got here the basic premise is this is a wi-fi
switch it's like those buttons over there but instead it's got some relays
here we're going to wire this up to your garage door each one of them and then
you should be able to just click a button on your phone and it should actuate this and that's all you got to
do now does it replace the hardware button
uh it can do both we can just run it in series or not in series but like
together with it and then because this isn't going to tell us whether the
garage door is open or not we're going to have a second thing this is from a
company called roost they sent this to us thanks for that um and they actually
normally make these for insurance purposes like your insurance your house insurance might require you so it logs
like whether it was open or not at the time that a theft occurred or whatever
yeah so we're just going to stick this on the garage door and we should be able
to on the app see if his garage door is open or not then we've got this guy this
is a little bit cheaper does that other one do up to four yeah who has a four
car garage rich people but you don't have to use them for
garages it can be like to turn anything on really okay sure fine so this one's
just for a single use and then you just take your micro usb plop it in there put
that there on that there there if i could get it there you go and you can also just power it with any five volt
power supply so you can use a battery or a battery pack and this will probably
last for like months cool but we're gonna plug it in step one just do it
step one step two make magic happen keep doing it
so hold on a second do i need to like are we even we're not even getting into
any high voltage wiring here are we no this is literally no it's 12 volt we
need a flat head getting a little excited over there oh
my god that's the og screwdriver yeah i keep it here now because i don't want to
like get it confiscated at the airport or something that almost happened except
this one time this was amazing so what i did is i took the bit out of it put it
in here they literally take it out of my bag and go oh yeah it's a good thing
this is really blunt or i'd have to take it
are you saved by the best are you even for real right now because meanwhile
i've got all this other stuff in here that's pointy
ac slash dc 7 to 34 to 32 volt 10 amps
at 250 ac or 30 dc
sure casual right so just like all the things
yeah okay what's the app it's called e link is there a is there is there a paid
subscription for that ifttt integration are you sure it's almost like it's a
free API dear user it's a dollar a month
for ifttt integra just kidding it's not is there somewhere we can plug this in
that isn't up there uh yeah yeah for sure i'll do it over here over here
boop ah lights we may put it in the plastic
oh so it's just here while we test it yeah i just wanted to not be standing on top of a ladder while
we try to set this up okay power up the model then press and hold pairing button
for five seconds until the led indicator blinks twice and on
repeatedly what does blinks twice and on repeatedly mean
hey oh yeah blink twitter it is okay
make sure your phone and the model are closer enough to wi-fi router
found second generation device hey heck yeah so if you click one of those
it should you should hear the relay click hold on wait for it
this is sick yeah how much is this like 30 bucks if you only need one it's only
i think i checked it was like 19 canadian that's awesome so now all we
need to do is rip this ghetto stuff i think you should just leave those and
then we can have it also so if somebody needs to come in here that doesn't have
the app like couldn't we just put this here and then just splice in some wire
we need to figure out which ones because otherwise if we put this up by the garage door opener then we have to run a
little bit all right i'll grab the wires okay do you get wire strippers uh yeah i got
wire strippers oh yeah yeah baby you got lots of strippers
oh even a little multimeter do you know they make like 1500
multimeters i'm sure they do for people who are far
more qualified to use multimeters than i am
i am so excited to be able to open my garage door
yeah like honestly i'm excited for you don't touch
david do you want one they're for when i'm working oh my god
he scared me i didn't even see him there well he's been doing his martial arts
training oh man mini ninja i don't want to get my butt kicked
didn't leave much slack in those wires hey
we should be replacing these at the same time
do you have any buttons uh wow
oh so well that explains like why it's broken it just fell apart so this just
pushes that onto there like that's it's a very actually no we could probably
like fix it pretty easily this might have just been put back together wrong
oh there we go yeah this is definitely screwed in this was assembled wrong this
was flipped around i think okay nice so
this button is actually it's fixed it's like fine now it's not loose anymore
yay i can just put some hot glue in and it'll be like fine i think where's that
screwdriver uh in my back pocket
oh why do you always make me do this oh man it's really tight
every time i work with you i end up reaching into your pocket frankly i've
had enough you've had enough when i tell you you've had enough oh okay all right
maybe just tighten it a little more yeah there you go
that was a nice technique i don't have
a ton of talents but i'm pretty good at screwing things
up every time you see that wire that you don't want to pick up just because
you're so mad it does seem like there's not a lot that can go wrong honestly
yeah i think it'll probably work fine
knock on wood but you have to do the knocking it's your house
that's how excited i am about having a garage door demonetized
are you not allowed to direction on youtube i think yeah probably you don't
have to roll on this david this is this is awful
well you can just check yeah yeah okay you just go like this
and then a light goes on and you go okay it's one oh no i meant like which of
these three oh well it's labeled how is it yeah
so you've got your ground and then you've got your
c yeah get ready no so you've got no
you've got nc which usually stands for no connection i'm going to look up this
video of this other guy using it let's just let's just go for it i mean it can't be that complicated
okay give me a second i'm coming in the shower it wasn't me
i was saying a little louder it wasn't me
we definitely left way too much wire on that one yeah and it might actually
bridge but i guess it doesn't really matter it should be okay okay so plug it in
that's it hey hey
smart garage door we click it again before it closes
oh and it pauses and then click it again
hey doesn't have to go down after that
no no it just continues so now we just have to wire the other
one up yeah should we let's cut these wires it looks awful i can do that later
don't worry about it you're never going to do it i'll i'll do it i'll do it i'll do it okay i'll do it all right i'm
going to do it horrible noise
hey then do the first one at the same time
dang download pending why is this down okay
i'm gonna go stand closer to my access point here what's going on
quickly yeah go for it let's do it okay no wait
put your hand up what are you you're just taking one oh that's a lot that's too many
oh you got us in there
it was it was david's idea nope
you have no devices click to add a new device wait to hear a beep then click
next i'm assuming there was a beep at some point um
there's the beep oh what are you doing oh no it's connected so there it is the
bolt wi-fi battery good okay so now we have to
stick this okay so
is it what is it like an accelerometer then or like yeah it has yeah no oh okay
that's cool we should probably clean this off oh there's spider webs there too that's your cleaning tip i mean i
have cloths well it's oh now i got cobwebs on me oh anyways what did you
put it on there already i already wiped it off with my hands what are you doing
i just like oh okay well thanks let me clean let me clean my hands no no okay
what would make this perfect is if it just fell
please don't fall off it's gonna make me look really stupid if
it does come on buddy
yeah thank you so that's it now i can
control my ancient garage doors
and i can see
if they're open heck yeah heck yeah
ow oh my hands are so cold yes very
uncomfortable all right are we chest bumping are we high-fiving
we're high-fiving okay no why not all right what no no you weigh a lot more
than that light is just on there okay come on we got it okay one two three
the mass drop sennheiser hd 6xx headphones are one of my favorites and
they're one of massdrop's all-time best sellers with over 60 000 units sold they
haven't changed the drivers or the sound structure compared to the hd 650 so you
get a nice balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass but they did make
one meaningful change going from a 10 foot cable down to a detachable six foot
cable based on community feedback it's got a 1 8 inch plug that's versatile for
everyday use and it comes with a quarter inch adapter as well as sennheiser's
long term support so don't miss out click the link below to join the drop

screwing things up i mean i think editor can you please
make it seem like i came up with that right on the spot when he said that's a
pretty good technique there with the screwdriver i think you were you were screwed you were screwing
you were screwing horizontally it would make me so happy if we could
