Smart Home Deals & Offers

Ordered and delivered today.

thanks a lot. I think I will wait for prime day

I have ordered. See if it’s anygood

These are overpriced at the moment. I agree that around £46.99 is a fair price.

Good Spot, however I’ve a feeling these will drop in price again (Prime Day). Cammel Cammel is showing the cheapiest they’ve been as £46.99 so this is overdue.

I like Sonos. I normally avoid proprietary systems, but Sonos is compelling. Very low footprint, extemely neat and tidy, scalable, easy too use and capable performance for both music and TV. Lack of DTS/Atmos, connectivity and price have been issues, but Beam seems to improve on the latter two.

Not a replacement for the playbar or playbase, although I’ll be having one for the bedroom (y) 🏼

Decent deal, code BM2 isn’t too bad for the Beam and two play:1’s for £645

What Hifi has indicated it’s decent, most accessible kit and of course it will sync will all other Sonos speakers if you are in that ecosystem. May bite but will wait to see if the price drops around Black Friday.

No proper reviews yet are there ??? Crazy to pre order without them ? Are people treating this as a replacement to their playbar or something for a bedroom TV set up or something?

Clearly for gaining market share, they cost hardly anything to make.

Google, tell alexa to switch off the heating. Alexa; you ***** do it yourself (lol)

I couldn't find it on my phone when checking yesterday. Would have gone for if it had.

So many deals for the minis. Why? Are they not selling well?

Can this be done through the eBay store getting an addition 10% off?

I purchased SR 340for £180 from homebase, thought that's bargaib

Above an upstairs opening window. have someone hang on to your legs.

Put it somewhere u can get to easy. When u gonna change the batteries on the siren u will thank me. Obviously not on ground level. High enough so that they need a ladder. Higher than someone standing on the bins

Bought this early last year for similar, still not fit it yet. Need a deal on extendable ladders, otherwise might look a bit odd 7 ft up the wall

Eh?

Picked one up in robroyston £94.50 (y) thanks op

No service charge, all devices connect via smart hub to wifi. The camera is motion triggered but image only, not video

Looks like a great deal of you can find it. Does it have a mobile sim in it or do I need to buy one. What's the service charge?

Got it. It’s still £350 on Amazon, amazing price!

Good deal, just bought last one in stock from newcastle. Think they still have the standard model in stock

Ended up getting the pir cameras also which links to alarms, some of the northern Ireland branches have some left as I got one for my parents today.

Picked one up along with the remote also for a fiver! Thanks

Picked one of these up in Crawley today. Thanks OP

Get one, they're great!

whats your vedict on this, ive reserved one over?

managed to get SR 340 for £180 today

Saw this at £56 in Homebase Lewes.Only saw 1 on shelf at back of shop. Bought the basic £34 kit.

It's not a pretty picture you paint, quite alarming :p My experience has been different. I had the EF telephone alert series but they're similar enough so here is my view. The sensors are pretty sensitive even at 8ft height for me (wife is 5ft but still triggers it). Most alarm PIRs are visible and look similar so looking awful really shouldn't be a reason to not buy something like this. However, a wired system will be equally as 'awful' looking with trunking and cables running throughout the house - I didn't want that and couldn't afford to hide it so got the Yale solution. Yes you have to replace batteries, it will inform you when that needs to happen and they last about 2 years which is pretty good and low maintenance. IMHO get this if you're looking for a low maintenance, good value, relatively low cost solution that can be DIY installed and if you want to avoid trunking and cables or builders plastering walls to hide cables etc which has its own cost. This is also a good option if you are renting and want to protect your contents and don't want to invest in a permanent solution - something like this can be installed and removed with little evidence of it being there. Not to mention you can take this to any new property. However, if you want something with 0 maintenance and don't mind the cables in sight (or can hide the cables or are getting the house rewired) and can afford the cost of a professionally fitted system then go for it - it's far superior.

I have had the EF-Series Telecommunicating Alarm Kit in the past - great product, easy to install and manage. Would recommend it. I think other's have mentioned that this one works on broadband and not telephone line (so won't call you but send you an alert on your app if your broadband is working). However, this is mostly a deterrent and most burglars are looking for quick wins/easy hits - they don't want confrontation or attention ever. Saying that, here are some tips since you're in the market for security: 1. Get timer based lights or plugs that switch a lamp on and off when you're away in the evening. You can get light boxes that mimic TVs behind curtains too. 2. Cut shorter any tall hedges that thieves can hide behind. 3. Get friendly with neighbours and give them your mobile and take there's in case of an emergency when either is out of town/home. 4. Use pebbles/stones in walkways or near fences - they make a lot of noise and put of thieves because they can't quietly creep up to the property. 5. Get CCTV (even fake ones) - the real thing is relatively cheap technology now - wireless ones exist and are plug and play. 6. Use signs on doors and windows which mention alarms. 7. If you're replacing locks soon, look for Secured By Design locks - the Met Police recommend these too. Multi-lock doors are good but there's no point if you can just bend the plastic/uPVC back (happened to me when a thief broke in with a screwdriver) so look for secure doors (these can be expensive!) like Rock Doors or Solidoors. 8. One of my favourite tips - get a large dog bowl and some dog toys and leave them near the back door and stick up "Beware of Dog" signs. That's enough to deter somebody from coming into your home uninvited. 9. Last but not least - get some LED solar lights up in dark areas like alley ways - they are practical but also a deterrent especially the ones that stay on during the night dimmed and light up brightly when they sense movement (PIR sensors). They do not work very well at night. Mpow and the likes do them and they're also relatively cheap and very effective. Hope this has helped somebody and hope nobody has to suffer from burglary and privacy invasion like that. (y)

And are they?

It's not currently at that price. But it has in the past and may well be again. Best thing I can suggest is you set up on alert on camelcamelcamel!

I got some on the 3 for 2, couldnt get number 1 setup correctly so tried a second and it work fine so maybe I missed something. Really useful, ill look at the other 1 at some point.

Voted hot. I can't see why this has gone cold. I guess there are more dumb people than sane people on HUKD

These are great to use with the app etc and wifi never let me down. Think I got a 3 for 2 at Argos last month but that's gone. Also have a few of TP lamps So made TP my make for smart lamps and sockets after playing with few makes.

This is an OK price. I am always on the look for these for my miners. Been looking of amazon for a while and haven't seen any advertised as UK ones. They seem to have disappeared. All others I have found are 35 quid - so hot!

It needs a plug

I believe that this is running a much older firmware than the Google Home mini. The Zolo is running cast 1.25 and the Mini is running cast 1.31 this means that the phone call feature and some other things are not available on the Zolo, until they update it

Is it a 5v input but using a 2.1mm plug? If so, that makes a difference to me as I'll just buy a converter lead from ebay to run it from my USB outlets.

Yes it is but has mic mute button

No and wish it was a micro usb then could use power bank but may get out the soldering iron and make up a lead shame I can’t pop to Mapljn to buy the correct round power socket oh well Cpc may have

Yes that's normal.

I’ve noticed it’s slow takes around 5 seconds on live feed to see movement is this normal ? (Viewing mobile )

Great price though I sent back the one I had. Poor Wi-Fi reception. The Yi I got instead doing a sterling job for a fraction of the price's Also the pigtail is pathetic I would like a long thin cable and then switch to Ethernet at the end of it which was what precluded me from solving the Wi-Fi issue by going wired (preferred)

This is a great price for the Q Plus!

These came out a year or two before the Pro range. A first generation product you might describe it as!

The Pro is rechargeable while these are the non-Pro. Nothing to do with generations. This is a good price but won’t vote. Owned a triple set and sent back. Poor range on one and stuck IR filter in the other. There must be a reason why Amazon Warehouse always has these in stock.

Ordered glad it never went hot gave me chance to bag a bargain 😜

(y)

Possibly getting cold vote for this being the first generation version, which is not as good as the latest equipment. From what I’ve read, these take batteries that need regular replacement if you like to check your feeds. The newer version comes with rechargeable battery packs, and for some that will offer better value over time than the cost of batteries, especially if you have multiple.

useful discount on Currys price £90 HOT

On the look out for the 1080p version but prices are eye watering

You'll need a Arlo smart home base station before purchasing this security camera.

Voted by mistake. This is not the 1080p model
