IFA was a blast and it was my first time traveling to Europe! So if I look jet-lagged then you know why. 🤣

Hanging out with all the smart home creators and the Home Assistant team is always so much fun! Thanks to everyone who came up and said hi. You guys are so nice!

i always appreciate when the thumbnail subject starts early in the video

@thedayb4tomorrow 3 weeks ago

Yeah with LG owning a controlling stake in Homey, it's pretty much inevitable that homey is going to start very intensely spying on you...

@ThirdRealityofficial 3 weeks ago

It was a pleasure having you with us at IFA2026！Thanks for stopping by our booth and featuring our Solar-Powered Outdoor Zigbee Repeater and Home Security System! 🙌🚀

LG should focus on removing their current spyware before selling anything else than goes into your home...

@YorkshireHillbilly 3 weeks ago

The problem with DREO and the likes is that they keep retiring older models so you can't get replacement filters for them. I switched to IKEA air purifiers with Tapo smart plugs and Netatmo air quality sensors to automate it in Home Assistant.

Bro vaping to prove it works 😂 2:48

Love the creator shade at Paul, lol. I'm glad HA was popular, no way I could (or should) trust a company like LG in my house, but my local AI agents and I need more HA toys!

That Ultra Bar looks like the desktop “auxiliary screen + buttons” I’ve been wanting. Perfect form factor for placement below a primary monitor. Fits much better than a square Stream Deck.

I may be hallucinating, but I'm nearly positive I had one of those flapping wing RC birds back in the 90s. It was a blue jay. I think it was like $20...

@JosephRawsthorne31 3 weeks ago

5:00 that UI reminds me of windows phone back in the day.

@Alex___R 3 weeks ago

14:00 Homey Portal… a $350 controller that’s tethered to a power cord, isn’t portable at all, and can only control one zone. I’m honestly worried about Homey’s future. It’s a great system, with an excellent approach to how automations are built, but once you’re bought out by a company like LG, it stops being about the users and starts being all about profits.

This reminds me that I'd really love to know what you'd choose if you were starting today. The main thing stopping me from investing further in my overall smart home tech is not knowing which tech to pick without over complicating my setup and life generally.

@rora1696pvzgw 3 weeks ago

IFA is really interesting, especially for any guy who likes to level up their smart home

@rckp9619 3 weeks ago

Is that LG the "we own the glass" guys?... it's a Homee that doesn't pay rent.

@RonnegadeYT 3 weeks ago

OGs know the RC Dragonfly which used wings from back in the day, it was awesome

@SmartHomeCircle 3 weeks ago (edited)

I was glad to meet you in person at IFA 🙂

@mikey.garrett 3 weeks ago

Great video. IFA was wild. Was great meeting you in the Berlin Airport.

that Ultrabar would make so much sense if it had a Speaker bar also built in to it.. a one stop solution for Desktop accessories.. I would buy it in a heart beat.. and that touchscreen could have shortcuts and music conrols.. .. OMG I am drooling.

@ihtesham_emon 2 weeks ago

The handy camera that looks like DJI Pocket and that transforms into a drone is the only thing from the video that I want to actually hit the market and purchase one.
