Philips Hue is still the most reliable smart lighting I’ve used, period. I’ve had Hue bulbs for years and I’ve never had to replace a single one since the first batch I bought. They’re pricey, so Black Friday is the perfect time to jump in or expand your setup.
“in Just 2 days Black Friday Madness will be upon us in this video I want to talk about a few of my personal favorite Apple home devices that are going on sale for Black Friday I do want to mention that some of these products were sent to me for review but I'm only mentioning them here because I truly do love them I'll have affiliate links to all of the devices I mentioned Linked In the description so you can get them easily with that out of the way let's dive in starting off with aara who's offering up to 30% off on their store if you've been following his channel for a while you already know I love aara and the sensors in my home are almost exclusively from aara my favorite sensor the fp2 present sensor is running for 25% off for Black Friday which is a huge discount now I love the fp2 and currently have four of them in my home I'm always thinking of more places I could be using them I'm using one in my kitchen mostly for the lights and I'm using one in my living room one automation I'm using is to tell my Apple TV to pause if present isn't detected while my movie scene is set it's a simple automation that honestly only this kind of device can pull off and the fp2 is the only Apple Home Presence sensor on the market they easily could have marked this thing way up but honestly the bang for your book is so incredible already and this sale makes it even more so so grab one of these also for aara the Smart Lock u00 is 42% off for Black Friday this is the exact smart look I'm using on my front door and I absolutely love it it has I think like six different ways you can unlock the door including keypad physical key fingerprint reader a car app and the Apple home app home key and through Siri it has an autolock built into the app and with the built-in gyroscope it can even lock as soon as you close a door which is super helpful all right moving on our friends over at switchbot are offering up to 40% off during their Black Friday sale now I love switchbot have been using their robot fingers for years now and I'm even using them now to auto automate my upstairs TV which does not have an IR TV mount by having them press the buttons on the remote switchbot has the new curtain 3 on sale for 30% off I'm using these in my living room and in my office and I love these things I did a full video review which you can find here it's a small thing but having the curtains open and close automatically in the morning and the evening is so handy I even have them set up to close if I set my movie scene so it makes it nice and moody in the living room we watch a lot of movies around here the switchbot blind till will also be 30% off and I may be a bit redundant but I'm using this in my office along with the curtain 3 for when I want to block out the afternoon sun that's coming through the window while I'm working but I don't want to close the curtain and lastly from switchbot their new vacuum the K10 plus is 20% off now I haven't personally tried this vacuum yet but it's brand new and already a pretty good price so it might be time to grab one while it's even less expensive all right next Air Versa has products on sale for 20% off for Black Friday I currently use the air Versa ap2 air purifier and I love how it keeps the air in my office super clean it's quiet and it just works super well again I have a video about this one and I'll drop all the links to the products in the description for you to take full advantage okay now I've been using Philips Hue for a long time now and to this day have never had to replace a single bulb since the first ones that I bought if you're new to the Smart Homes base trust me when I say this is the most reliable option out there and I've been through most of them but they are a bit pricey so you may want to take advantage of their Black Friday sales they will be running 30% off on select bulbs or accessories when you buy two or more 25% off two or more select lamps and light strips and up to 40% off select other devices and last but not least I want to talk about this smart door handle from Hollow mark an air vers a sister company under the Singo brand now I saved this for last because I wanted to take a minute for this lock this thing has been a lifesaver in my house Hollow Mark sent this out to me a few months ago to review and I have been putting it to the test and it has been Rock Solid I honestly have nothing bad to say about this thing it's a very simple device that fills a need we had for our garage entry door which as you can see doesn't have a deadbolt I really wanted the added security of a lock on this door just just in case something were to happen with our garage door and this fits the build perfectly it has a clean simple design the numbers are on the outside of the handle and very clicky giving you the confirmation that you pressed it but we rarely even use them because it works with apple home so we have automation set up for when we arrive home leave home go to sleep wake up or if the garage door is left open for a certain amount of time and because it works with apple home we can even holler out our favorite Voice Assistant to unlock it right away hey Siri lock the garage entry door this thing is perfect if you don't have a dead bull and I would 100% recommend it for indoor use like securing a closet or an office with expensive equipment now unfortunately this lock is currently showing us out of stock but I've reached out to them to find out if it will be in stock and if they'll have a sale for the holidays if it is I'll update the description with all the proper information this is definitely something to keep an eye on all right so that does it for this video several of my absolute personal favorite recommendations that you can get on a good sale during Black Friday make sure you check out all of the brands that I mentioned to see what other devices are on sale and grab some while they're cheap now before you go here are a couple videos for products I mentioned in this video that you should check out before you go order thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one”
