1 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:14,880 Welcome to my unboxing of the Belulin 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:17,520 Wimo, which is not related to the Wii at 3 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,960 all. Spelled differently even. And the new Wii is the Wii U, not the Wimo. Uh, 4 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:29,039 okay. Sorry. Sorry. Enough of that. This is actually really cool. So the whole 5 00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,480 like um like wireless home control thing 6 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,559 like we've been talking about this for years now you know you're on your way 7 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:39,360 home so you want to like preheat your oven so you you know turn on your oven 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:45,440 or whatever like like network controlled devices you know we've got smart TVs now 9 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,960 this is a way of taking dumb devices or 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,680 well devices that don't have any built-in logic and controlling them 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,559 using your iPhone. So they're calling it the iPhone home remote and you can set 12 00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,239 things up. Evidently, we're going to be doing a full NCX tech tips about this. 13 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,760 So, you know, stay stay tuned, right? So, it's great for controlling things 14 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,960 like your Okay, I can't imagine why you'd need to control like 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:13,760 an like an iron. You're going to iron shirts. You turn your iron on with a 16 00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,000 with a remote. Okay, whatever. Uh hair curler. Okay, heater. There we go. 17 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:22,159 Heaters and fans. This this I believe because you know on those summer nights 18 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,240 you can't fall asleep first because it's too hot and then because the fan is loud 19 00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,479 so you can like tinker with it you know from bed with your with your iPhone 20 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:33,920 whatever else. You can set schedules which is kind of neat. So you can do 21 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,439 that with the software as well. Uh with multiple Weimo switches you control as 22 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,880 much or as little of your home as you'd like. Weo runs on your iPhone and your 23 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,560 Wi-Fi network is all easy to set up and use. So, it works on anything from an 24 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,560 iPhone 3G, I believe, up to Yeah. iPod 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:54,079 Touch third generation, iPhone 3GS and later, and any iPad generation of 26 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,799 products. So, let's go ahead and Okay, apparently I missed two of the half a 27 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,000 dozen or so stickers on the back of the box here. So, we can go ahead and check 28 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,320 it out. I'm not expecting to find anything sort of revolutionary in terms 29 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,720 of the hardware in here, but I'm really excited to check out the software app. 30 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,280 So, there's your quick install guide. Plug the thing in the thing. Download 31 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:19,680 and install Weimo app from the app store. Settings and so connect to your 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Wi-Fi network. Oh. Oh. Select Wi-Fi. Connect to Weimo network. Launch the 33 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,680 Weimo app to complete the Oh, okay. So, you'll be able to complete the setup once you're in there. Oh, okay. That's 34 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,400 kind of cool. So, this is fairly straightforward. You've got a three-pronged plug. Although, if you're 35 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,440 in a different territory, it's likely that the PL plug plug plong the plong 36 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,879 the plug will look different. Uh, we've got one switch. This is disappointing. I 37 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,400 would have really liked to see two switches with some kind of a with with 38 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,000 two like two passroughs with two full sets of logic inside and one wireless 39 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,160 chipset. I think that way we could have gotten more functionality out of this 40 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,800 device without actually adding necessarily that much to the cost of it. 41 00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,640 Although what do I know about what they cost? Uh there's a power button here. 42 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,280 There's a wireless indicator. There's a restore button 43 00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:09,200 which use indoors only. Restore factory settings. Ah okay. So to restore factory 44 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,519 settings for whatever reason you wanted to do 45 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,360 that. I don't know what else to say about this. So let's move on to the next 46 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,879 one. This is the Wimo Switch Plus motion. So not only do you have this 47 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:27,599 software wireless switchness going on, you've also got a motion sensor. So you 48 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,040 can turn it on, turn it off, and you can activate it with motion. And you can 49 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:38,400 control all of that. See, look. I want my stuff to turn on, then off. Turn off 50 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,879 or on. Turn on slash off if motion. So, 51 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,000 that's pretty neat. Let's just kind of open this up 52 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:52,319 and find out how much different it is. So, it's basically another one of these. 53 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,319 Okay. And then one of these, which is 54 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,519 Oh, okay. So, this is two completely separate like dooddads. 55 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,319 No, this is this is similar. Oh, neat. Okay, so once you Okay, so basically 56 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,480 once you synchronize and and get all of 57 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,519 your all of your Weimo devices set up within the app, you should be able to 58 00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,680 kind of tinker around with it on a pretty granular level. So, we're really looking forward to checking this out. 59 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:19,120 Don't forget to subscribe not only to Linus Tech Tips, but also the NCIXCOM 60 00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:23,199 channel so you can see our follow-up video on this.
