When I first started my smart home I made 5 BIG mistakes that cost me a lot of money. They're the same mistakes everyone makes, and this is how to avoid them.
This video is sponsored by Aqara, all opinions are my own
This video also serves as a review of Aqara's T1 LED strip, and includes brightness tests of Philips Hue versus Govee M1 versus Aqara T1. The Aqara T1 works with Amazon Alexa, Works with Google Assistant, and Works With Apple Homekit, but because it's Zigbee I can also add it directly to Home Assistant using my conbee stick.
