 So today we're going to be having a look at, it's not really, it's sort of an unboxing. This is all the stuff that was in the box. At a home automation product from Insteon. So right here, this is the smart home hub. So this guy right here communicates with your smartphone via wifi. They communicate with each other on RF and over power line, but you have to actually have sort of 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, a range 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's 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 Insteon switch. So you can see right here, it is a little bit sort of more different from that one. It's sort of bulkier 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, is be careful whenever you're playing around with these boxes. Make sure the power's off and make sure you know what you're doing. 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 you can use without a smartphone. 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 extender. Wireless motion sensors. 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. Or you can have it turn on a light from dim to high when you 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 you're 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 gonna 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 is the high tech one now that they're installed. It logs into the Insteon 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, who cares? You can add devices. So front door hall light. There you go. There's my movie time scene. So check this out. First of all, it still functions as a normal switch. You can see it's just a rocker. 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, front door 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. 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 I'm going to go scene, movie time. Movie time on. Everything should go off. The whole house is done up. But right now I only have one light switch done. So here, hold on. Let me turn the light back on. Let me turn the light. Okay. I guess I could just do this way. So there you go, guys. That's sort of the concept here. I'm going to set up a couple of different sorts of scenes and 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. I believe they have things like receptacles, 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 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 to Linus 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 on-off switch. And then there's also keypads with dimmers. So you can set up different sorts of... What does this do? The place is existing wall switch works like a conventional dimmer switch. Tap up and down. Also works as a remote controlled switch. So you can... Works with any Insteon remote control, blah, blah, blah, other keypad and switch. So you can program stuff and send signals to other Insteon 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 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. Pretty cool stuff.
