    Switching it up! Want to start having more fun with the videos. What did you think? I had fun making the video. What do you want to see next on Smarthome?

      I thought the video was exactly what we need for those of us who are still figuring out how to get the best use out of Alexa.! Thank you, Danny! I always look forward to your videos!

      I'd love a video like this but for Samsung Smartthings hub. The customizing and interface can be quite daunting.

      How about doing one on smart thermostats. Which one works well with Alexa and do we need to have it professionally install?

    My Alexa is not that smart.
    I plugged the devise to a smart plug then I asked to turn the plug off and now is not working.
    She’s not even light up now
    I’m returning all back

      Don’t ever cuss at Alexa, or she won’t do anything you tell her.

    • @paul8926
      @paul8926 4 роки тому

      Keith Soderlund you need to compliment Alexa, and tell her “thank you” and compliment her. She reverts back to being Alexa without an attitude.

    New subscriber now. Well done. Yours was the best video I’ve seen during these amazon sponsored videos. I enjoyed the humor and the unique approach... As far as your follow up question, I would like to see how the new Alexa Cube from amazon can benefit those of us whom already have a smart home, smart tv, and also an Alexa FireStick.

    Danny , how about a vid using Alexa with your fire stick controlling videos etc. Can the fire stick be linked with routines. Ie I’m home : tv turns on selects latests news channel etc

    Hi Danny, loved the video came across your channel while in the E.R not the best place to find it, but it made time pass. Information is on point only downside is that quite a few of the skills and settings only seem to be available over your side of the pond. keep it up I got your back.

    Hey Danny, how did you switch your home from random smart home stuff such as "ecobee" to the Nest ecosystem? Did you just sell the existing stuff and build it over time? Wish you would do a new smart home video and a "how to" on set up.

    • @dannywinget
      @dannywinget  6 років тому +1

      The more I tried the more I started to link up what was more useful to my own home. I will do one very soon.

    • @PokeNash
      @PokeNash 6 років тому

    Dude nice info but for a "tech" guy you really need to practice your audio skills by raising the volume on the device. Or maybe you should put a mic closer to the device so those of us with poor hearing can enjoy it too.
