 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 and 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 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 f***ing 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 AliExpress? Amazon, you got that? Oh. Amazon. Wait, I got one more for you. Here, get it. You got this guy, you got this guy. What's this cost? These are like 30 bucks each. Alright, let's do it. This 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, Madrinas coffee. Madrinas blends specialty cold brew coffees into 15 ounce Grabbing O 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 this replacement is. That's huge. That is my garage door. What the hell? Well, yeah, it works. Of course it works. Why would you? Wow, it doesn't work that well. You can't put it. You can't stop it? Yeah, you can. Oh, so let's start with the highly advanced system for my garage door. So we've got these two doorbell ringers. Oh, they're not even. 10 out of 10. Did you even push the button? No, 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 could replace those, you know. They're just regular switches. Dude, look at your neck. Yeah. It's so big. Jake shot me with a Nerf dart before we started. Then over here, we've basically got the safety sensitivity. Like there's no beam or anything. That's just like how hard it's going to push on you before it stops. And then this is open and this is closed. But like I don't really know what that is. It's like it's dripping grease. Yeah. 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? It can do both. Not in series, 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. And they actually normally make these for insurance purposes, like your house insurance might require you to have this. 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. So this is a little bit cheaper. Does that other one go up to four? Yeah. It lives 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. 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 could 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 going to plug it in. Step one, just do it. Step one. Step two. Make magic happen. We're 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 volts. We need a flathead. 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. I'd have to take it. I'm like, are you even for real right now? Because meanwhile, I've got all this other stuff in here that's pointy. AC slash DC, seven to thirty four to thirty two volt. Ten 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 eWii Link. Is there a, is there, is there a paid subscription for that? IFTT integration? Are you sure? It's almost like it's a free API. Dear user, it's a dollar a month for IFTT integrat- just kidding. It's not. Is there somewhere we can plug this in that isn't up there? Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'll do it over here. Just go over here. Boop. Ah, lights. We can maybe put it in a plastic bag. 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? Oh. Hey. Hey. Oh yeah, blink twice. There it is. Okay. Make sure your phone and the model are closer enough to Wi-Fi router. Found second generation device. Hey. 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 we need to stick the wires in. Because otherwise if we put this up by the garage door opener, then we have to wire over to the other one. Yeah, okay, got you. All right, I'll grab the wires. Okay. Do you get wire strippers? 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 $1,500 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? Just for when I'm working. Oh my God. Hello. Jeez. What? He's right there. Oh, hey sweetheart. You scared me. You 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? 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 a very... You know what, we could probably like fix it pretty easily. This might have just been put back together wrong. Oh, there we go. Yeah, this was... It's definitely screwed in. This was assembled wrong. This was flipped around, I think. Okay, well... Nice. 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? In my back pocket. Oh, why do you always make me do this? 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. 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 that works. Demonetized. Are you not allowed to have an erection on YouTube? I think, yeah, probably. You don't have to roll on this, David. This is awful. Well, you can just check. 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. Oh, is it? Yeah. So you've got your ground and then you've got your NC. Yeah, get right on. 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 the same thing. Let's just go for it. I mean, it can't be that complicated. Okay, give me a sec. I'm coming in the shower. Wasn't me. I want to sing a little louder. 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. Wait, click it again before it closes. Oh! And it pauses. And then click it again. Oh! Hey! This one doesn't have the go down after that speech? No. Oh. No, no, it just continues. Oh, okay. So now we just have to wire the other one up. Yeah. Should we cut, let's cut these wires. It looks awful. I can do that later. Don't worry about it. You're never going to do this. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'm going to do it. Oh, that's a horrible noise. Hey! And then do the first one at the same time. Ah! Dang! Download pending. Why is this download? Okay, I'm going to go stand closer to my access point here. What's going on? Quick, mine is just unlucky. Grab chocolate. Oh! Yeah, go for it. Let's do it. Oh, f*** this guy. No, what are you, put your hand up! What are you, you're just taking one? Oh, that's a lot! That's too many! Oh, s***! He caught us in the aftertaste! Run! S***! It was, it was, it was David's idea. Look, 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. There's the beep. Oh, what are you doing? Oh no, it's connected. So there it is. Okay. Volt, 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, pretty much. How does it, no? Oh, okay. That's cool. We should probably clean this off. Oh, there's spider webs there, damn. That's your cleaning tip? I mean, I have cloths. Well, oh, now I got cobwebs on me. Oh, anyways. What, did you put it on there already? I already wiped it off with my hand. What are you doing? I just like. Okay, well thanks. Let me clean my hands. No, 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. Boom. Ow. Oh, my hands are so cold. Yeah. It's very uncomfortable. Okay, all right. Are we chest bumping or are we high fives? Oh, we're high fives. Okay. No, why not? What? No, no. You weigh a lot more than me. It's just on the ground. Okay, go ahead. I got it. Okay. Let's go. The Massdrop Sennheiser HT6XX headphones are one of my favorites and they're one of Massdrop's all-time bestsellers with over 60,000 units sold. They haven't changed the drivers or the sound structure compared to the HT650, 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 6-foot cable based on community feedback. It's got a 1 1⁈-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.

Oh, that was a nice technique. I don't have a ton of talents, but I'm pretty good at screwing things up. I mean, I think you're not- 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 screwing- Please. Please. You were screwing horizontally. Oh, my. It would make me so happy if we could edit that to make it seem like I'm a lot cleverer than I am. Clever? My anticipation is the editor will include the editor's note. They really are mean people sometimes. LMG editors, just straight up bad people.
