In this video, I’m setting up Scrypted to bring my existing security cameras into Apple Home without replacing them. I’ll show how I installed Scrypted on a UGREEN NAS using Docker, how it can bridge cameras like UniFi into Apple Home, and I’ll also quickly cover the Home Assistant install option for those already using HA.

Robot lawn mowers are getting better, but can they actually handle a real yard without constant babysitting? In this video, I’m testing the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR Pro in my own yard to see how it handles real-world obstacles, uneven areas, dog toys, narrow paths, slopes, and edge trimming.
In this video, I’m comparing two Beatbot robotic pool cleaners: the Beatbot AquaSense X and the Beatbot Sora 70.
In this video, I’m walking through the exact network setup and settings I use to keep my Apple Home, Matter, Thread, and other smart home devices running smoothly. I’ll show how I have my UniFi network configured, including separate VLANs for IoT devices, IPv6 settings for Matter, mDNS, IGMP snooping, Wi-Fi settings, and basic firewall rules for extra security.

Dreame just released their first smart lock — the Dreame Navo A10 — and it’s a Matter-over-Thread smart lock that works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, and more. Even more interesting, there’s also a matching smart handle you can pair with it, which is something we almost never see with smart locks.
