Gadgetory

here's the deal my house was built in 1985 or something along those lines and these are the original garage door openers so I was like you know what I want to get for myself I'm gonna get myself a nice fancy smart garage door opener and I bought this unit from Chamberlain on Amazon for I don't knows like a few hundred bucks or something it had good reviews or whatever everything seemed hunky-dory I got it out I started opening it up and I'm reading the manual and I make it all the way to this page in the manual that refers me to a website that then I scroll like way down I click a thing and finally I find out that the if this then that integration for Chamberlain's garage door openers is a subscription service Jake can you be my can you be my you know expert consultant here for a minute is there any reason that if this then that integration would require a subscription like a paid subscription a paid subscription no I don't think so no no there really isn't so I could afford it it was only $1 a month but the reality of it is that Chamberlain we're gonna do it ourselves we're gonna take these ancient garage door openers we're gonna make them smart with the help of what like 30 bucks worth of gear off alleys Express Amazon they got that folks Animas I got one more for you here this guy you got this guy what's this cost I these are like 30 bucks each all right you probably would have better off just paying the fee this is gonna pay itself back in like five years it's the principle of the thing and speaking of the principle of the thing madrenas Coffee madrenas blends specialty cold brew coffee Xin 215 ounce grabby no cans for your convenience and you can check them out and use offer code Linus we're gonna have that down below to save 40% today or even tomorrow but don't put it off like 40% goes crazy so just to give you some idea how overdue it is that's huge bang it worked late well you can't you can't stop it yeah you can't Oh so let's start with the highly advanced system for my garage door openers here we've got these two doorbell ringers oh they're not even better ten out of ten do you even push the button know that the buttons are loose so if you kind of jiggle them around they kind of go every once in a while they just so perfect and they're definitely very very attached to the wall Wow you can replace those you know they're just regular switches look at your Jake shot me with a Nerf dart that we started then over here we've basically got the safety sensitivity like there's no there's no beam or anything that's just like how hard it's gonna push on you and then this is open and this is closed but like I don't really a loopy I don't really know what that is it's like it's dripping grease yeah do you get that on your car meanwhile I'm storing this in here with this like epic garage by the time this video comes out this will not be in here by the way guys so so don't break and do this house yeah please so walk us through what we've got here the basic premise is this is a Wi-Fi switch it's like those buttons over there but instead it's got some relays here we're gonna wire this up to your garage door you just one of them and then you should be able to just click a button on your phone and it should actuate this and that's all you got to do now does it replace the hardware button it can do both we can just run it in seriously but in series but like together with it and then because this isn't gonna tell us whether the garage door is open or not you're gonna have a second thing this is from a company called roost they sent this to us thanks for that and they actually normally make these for insurance purposes like your parents your house insurance might require so it logs like whether it was open or not at the time that a theft occurred or whatever yeah so we're just gonna stick this on the garage door and we should be able to on the app see if his garage doors then we've got this guy so this is a little bit cheaper does that other one you up to four yeah it was a four car garage rich people but you don't have to use them for garages it can be like to turn anything on really okay sure so this one is just for single yes and then you just take your micro USB there you go and you can also just power it with a any five volt power supply so you can use a battery or a battery pack and this will probably last for like months cool well we're gonna plug it in step one just do it step one step two magic happen keep doing it so hold on a second do I need to like are we even we're not even getting into any high voltage wiring here are we no this is literally none it's 12 volt we need a flathead get a little excited over there oh my god that's the og screwdriver yeah I keep it here now cuz I don't want to like get it confiscated at the airport or something that almost happened except this one time this was amazing so what I did is I took the bit out of it put it in here they literally take it out of my bag and go oh yeah it's a good thing this is really one I'd have to take it Oh Saved by the Bell you even for real right now cuz meanwhile I've got all this other stuff in here that's pointing AC / DC 7 234 232 volt 10 amps at 250 AC or 30 DC sure casual right so just like all the things yeah okay what's the app it's called II we link is there is there is there a paid subscription for that not ET integration are you sure it's almost like it's a free API dear user its dollar a month for IFTTT intergrate and I'm just kidding it's not is there somewhere we can plug this in that isn't up there yeah yeah for sure I'll do over here OOP ah lights we may put it in the plastic it's just here while we test it yeah I just want to not be standing on top of a ladder while we try to set this up okay power up the model then press and hold pairing button for five seconds until the LED indicator blinks twice and on repeatedly what does blinks twice and on repeatedly mean okay oh yeah is okay make sure your phone in the model aren't closer enough to Wi-Fi router found second-generation device hey hey yeah so if you click one of those it should you should hear the relay click hold on wait for it this is sick yeah like 30 bucks if you only need one it's lonely I think I checked it was like nineteen dollars Canadian that's awesome so now all we need to do is rip this ghetto stuff I think you should just leave those and then we can have it also so if somebody needs to come in here that doesn't have the app like couldn't we just put this here and then just splice in some wire I need to figure out which ones because otherwise if we put this up by the garage door opener I'll grab the wires okay do you get wire strippers uh yeah I got wire strippers oh yeah yeah baby you got lots of strippers oh oh even a little multimeter you know they make like 1,500 on multimeters I'm sure they do for people who are far more qualified to use multimeters than I am I am so excited to be able to open my garage door yeah like honestly I'm excited for you sometimes when I'm working oh my god scare me I'll even see him there well he's been doing his martial arts training oh man mini ninja well I get my butt kicked didn't leave much slack in those wires hey we should be replacing these at the same time do you have any buttons uh Wow oh so well that explains like why it's broken it just fell apart so this just pushes that onto there like that so you actually know what we could probably like fix it pretty easily this might have just been put back together wrong oh there we go yeah this is definitely screwed this was assembled wrong this was flipped around I think okay well when I see this button is actually it's fixed it's like fine now it's not loose anymore yeah I can just put some hot glue in and it'll be like fine I think where's that screwdriver oh why do you always make me do this it's really tight every time I work with you I end up reaching into your pocket frankly I've had enough you've had enough when I tell you you've had enough okay all right maybe just tighten it a little more yeah that was a nice technique I don't have a ton of talents but I'm pretty good at screwing things up every time you see that wire that you don't want to pick up just because you're so mad doesn't seem like there's not a lot that can go wrong honestly yeah I think it'll probably work fine knock on wood but you have to do the knocking it's your house I think yeah probably do you don't have to roll on this David this is awful well you can just check yeah okay you just go like this and then a light goes on there you go okay it's one oh no I meant like which of these three oh well it's labeled oh is it yeah so you've got your ground and then you've got your know you've got NC which usually stands for no connection I'm gonna look up this video of this other guy complicated I'm in the shower wasn't me no once a little over there wasn't me we definitely left way too much wire on that one yeah and it might actually bridge that I guess it doesn't really matter I should be okay okay so plug it in just put that's it smart garage door we click it again before it closes oh and it pauses and then click Oh have to go down after that ok so now we just have to wear the other one up yeah should we cut let's cut these wires it looks awful I can do that later ok but you're never connect I'll do it I'll do it the first one that same done daeng download pending why is this down okay I'm gonna go stand closer to my access point here what's going on oh yeah go for it let's do it you just taking one it was David's idea nope you have no devices click to add a new device wait to hear a beep then click next I'm assuming there was a beep at some point there's the beep Oh what are you doing oh no it's connected so there it is volt Wi-Fi battery good ok so now we have to stick this okay so is it what is it like an accelerometer that are like yeah it has yeah okay that's cool you should probably clean this off that's your cleaning too I mean I have cloths well oh now I got cobwebs on me Oh anyways what did he put it on there already I already wipe it off with my hand are you doing I just played okay well thanks I let me clean let me clean my hand off No okay what would make this perfect is if it just fell please don't fall off its gonna make me look really stupid if it does come on buddy yeah thank you so that's it now I can control my ancient garage doors and I can see if yeah heck yeah we chest-bumping are we high five high five okay No why not what no no you weigh a lot more than okay go ahead okay one two three the math drops sennheiser HD 6xx headphones are one of my favorites and they're one of math drops all-time bestsellers with over 60,000 units sold they haven't changed the drivers or the sound structure compared to the HD 650 so you get a nice balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass but they did make one meaningful change going from a ten-foot cable down to a detachable 6 foot cable based on community feedback it's got a 1/8 inch plug that's versatile for everyday use and it comes with a quarter inch adapter as well as
