We're not embedding the video here this week because voice and video got out of sync due to a bug in mimoLive, the software we've been using to stream. The good news is that we have a workaround for next week. THAT said, if you want to see this week's video, it is available over at YouTube, as usual. Facebook, as well. Don't say we didn't warn you. And thank you for your patience. You deserve better...and WE WILL DELIVER! (next week!). Note: Shownotes are complete!Chapters/Timestamps/Stuff mentioned:

Dave, you mentioned that Amazon’s A-Lady does not work with automating the Wyze lightbulbs. I can use my echo dots to turn on and off my Wyze bulbs. Once I install them using the Wyze app, I just enabled a Wyze skill in the Amazon Alexa app.
