Save £400 A Year Using These Solar "Cell" Smart Blinds... Because Science

Happy Saturday everyone! These now work with Google Home too!!... These guys do zigbee and zwave versions of the cell blinds too if you're interested then as usual the link is below!... BUY THE SMARTWINGS BLINDS HERE www.smartwingshome.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_O2lBhCFARIs…

Just watched the last 10 seconds of the video again and again and again... Good grief, I have never heard so much sense spoken in my life! :)

I definitely like their blackout abilities, they would be an improvement over the diy mess I'm currently using.

Got LARGE custom size Smartwings blind with zibee motor, love it. Put in Home assistant with a DIY esp8266+lux sensor in window to close and open blind at certain sun brightness. One less thing I have to remember to do(open&close).

Been refreshing the page since Wednesday. Not moved.

The fly gag was very good.

I’ve got an IKEA one. Works better than I’ve expected. No problems with routines and automations.

I live in Florida .. forecast March - December 90°-95° F (32° - 35° C) with a 100% chance of skin cancer and purple sunburn in 15 minutes. Enjoy 🌞

Despite seeing it every week, your on the fly gag made me spill my tea!

Paul, you are welcome in Florida anytime! This episode was extremely fun and funny. (And informative). Thank you for the laughs, they are much appreciated!

Not watched your vids for a while… I forgot how great they actually are 😂 Thanks. 😂 👍👍

As an Aussie hearing you say border rooter constantly made me giggle! I used to visit a very nice border rooter in my youth.

Happy Saturday Paul. Thanks.

One thing to consider for those on a budget, its not to difficult to set up a esp32 with IR blaster to control the older cheaper IR remote controlled style of electric blinds , or if you have the ability directly wire an esp32 to the blind and then add yhe esp32 to your preferred home assistant for voice and phone control. You can even easily turn regular manual blinds into smart ones with an esp32 and a small dc motor connected to the blinds rotation assembly, there are loads of guides how to do this and also use them to control other devices and things like relays to power things on and off instead of buying smart switches for each device plus one esp32 can control several devices as there are quite a few gpio pins that can be used, again there are loads of guides how to do this which break it down in simple to follow steps.

Paul--another fabulous review that made me laugh, made me smile, and made me a little smarter. FL will be much improved when you & the Misses move and/or vacation here!

Greetings from Florida! I moved from Bradford, UK to the US in 1997 when I met my American wife. We had little money - I arrived with just $1500 in my pocket. We basically started over with nothing. 26 years years later, we are in our second house, two grandchildren, living in paradise! (Note - it's expensive to live here - My little house I bought for $90K 20+ years ago is now worth over $400K, which is on the low end in my area)

Wow that's amazing 😮

Actually the 'on the fly' joke was my favourite😅

Paul my dude! Move to the states, I am a Texan living in rural Minnesota and it’s not horrible. Winters get a bit chilly, summers are not bad. But I bought a house for $60k 4 bed 2 bath on a small lot. Most houses in my tiny town have fiber to the home with 1G synchronous with 2.5G, 5G, and 10G supposedly coming this year. You can do your job (YouTube) from anywhere. Where ever you are just be happy dude. Life’s to short for anything else.

As always, great video - thank you! I'm always be wary of claims that use the phrase "up to" because it's a marketing ploy to trick potential customers into assuming that's what they'll get. I'd be much more interested in average or typical savings figures.
