Watch How Much Electric Alexa Actually Costs In Real Time 😳...

In the last seven years the electricity cost of an Amazon echo has tripled, I measured Amazon echos both seven years ago and now to see how much the energy consumption has increased, but I also measured LED lights, smart bulbs, smart sockets, and even your TV to see how much these things are actually costing us. The results are displeasing. In this video I have tested Home Assistant on a mini PC, Amazon Alexa on various devices using Spotify, google home products, Presence sensors, my Philips TV, my Govee lights, and tested everything from Zigbee devices, to Wi-Fi smart products, to Philips Hue, to thread gadgets to robot vacuums. There is good news and bad news, but your smart home is definitely costing you more than you realise. ============================= 🛒 PRODUCTS USED IN MY SMART HOME taplink.cc/paulhibbert ============================= 🍻 Support the Channel! ☕ Buy Me a Beer: http://paypal.me/PaulHibbert 🎭 Become a Patron:   / paulhibbert   ============================= ⏳ Chapters ⏰ 0:00 - Intro ⏰ 1:50 - Smart Home speakers energy consumption ⏰ 7:04 - Energy monitoring plug sockets energy consumption ⏰ 8:06 - Philips Hue, Lifx, Ikea, and Linkind Smart Light bulbs ⏰ 10:27 - LED strip lights energy consumption ⏰ 11:58 - Aqara Presence sensors energy consumption ⏰ 12:50 - Smart Home hubs energy consumption ⏰ 14:31 - PC and Mac energy consumption ⏰ 15:58 - Security camera & Robovac energy consumption ⏰ 16:53 - How much a smart home costs ============================= 📢 TAGS #SmartHome #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant #SmartHomeFails #SmartHomeTech #AmazonAlexa #GoogleHome #AppleHomeKit #Matter #Thread #Zigbee #TechReview #funny
