I appreciate the clear and technically detailed format for your videos, and it's great to see a channel looking at smart home tech that I will actually be able to purchase/use in Australia.

[@smart_home_australia]

Thanks for your kind words. Trust me, its a great device, this and my WittBoy give me so much information its makes my Plotly video worthwhile :) Got to love data !!

[@johncallaghan7601]

Really enjoying your videos and the range of devices that you are reviewing. Format and presentation is super clear and informative.

[@smart_home_australia]

Thanks John.
Do you have any devices that you’re interested in? Always on the hunt for out of the usual, like the TubesZB review I did last week, which was also a recommendation from a channel member.

[@mastweiler22]

Wow, the markup from their EU distributor is quite something! Or so it feels anyway....
Impressive bit of kit.

[@smart_home_australia]

They are a new company and still trying to figure out distributors and 3PL's but the fundamentals of the engineering is sound and innovative. If they keep on innovating, then the rest will come.

[@mastweiler22]

@@smart_home_australia Totally agree, they are making some really interesting kit.

[@smart_home_australia]

I'll be reviewing the MSR next week and the MTR the week after. I'm in contact with the owners and they are some great stuff in the works. :)

[@squawkdrop2526]

Good video. Hopefully you get to invest in a better mic soon though. It would improve your production value quite a bit.

[@smart_home_australia]

Thanks for the feedback. Yep, sound is an ongoing challenge. Any suggestions of a cost effective mic ? :)

[@smart_home_australia]

Took your advice, purchased a Rode's Mic... good sound quality, here we come :)
Thanks again for the feedback.

[@GERGE_GERGE]

please make a video how to install second Zigbee2mqtt add on on Homeasstant

[@smart_home_australia]

Sure. Not a problem. Leave it with me. 😁
