Works Great

Used in conjunction with longer strips that I bought. Needed just a little bit more to complete the circuit. This did the trick. I will add that these strips are well made and tough. I needed to snake these through and around some holes etc. in cabinets. I wasn't sure how strong they would be until I saw them and actually worked with them. Great product.

Does what I expected it would.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Had several dots, and one echo throughout the house already. Wanted a speaker in the bathroom so I went with this. All other Alexa devises in house are black but went white with this one so it can blend in better in Bathroom. I have grown to like the white and may integrate a couple more that color. The only issue I have run inot with this is when the volume is set to 6 or 7 or higher, I have to wait for a break in the music or the news, or whatever is playing otherwise Alexa cant hear me. Makes it interesting if you need to turn down the music quickly. This is a problem I expect only because it is on a shelf that is about 5.5 feet high and in a corner of the room. If it were at a lower elevation I am pretty sure it could hear me better. I don't have this issue with other Alexa devices.

Went with the Fire Tv over the stick for the storage capacity. Glad I did. Kids have downloaded lots of games. I have an HTPC also and now we rarely use it. Have axes to all my paid services as well as most of the channels I enjoy to watch. I am still on the learning curve with this but I am happy with the purchase..

Replaced conventional switches

Posted by: Vanzan
from Mattapoisett MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Took some getting used to but it works flawlessly and as described. I configured this switch in a way that I mounted it over the existing switches using a new solid plate.I looks great and works every time. Its mechanical and not powered by electricity so there was a small learning curve as it works off of the kinetic energy generated by pushing the buttons themselves. It's a brilliant concept. Well made and I expect it to last a long time.

Wife Loves it

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife is not pleased with all the technology that I incorporated into our home but I persuaded her give these a try. We have had under cabinet lighting before and it was either to bright, to dim and the shadows from the areas with no lighting was less than desireable. I purchased some Aluminum channel with frosted glass and it had made for a very professional instal with lots of customization.

And Now I want more
on August 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a perfect way to begin my smart light journey. I have three pendants above my kitchen island. They were on a dimmer switch and we would always play with the switch t suit the mood and time of day. We lived with what we had but it was never perfect. With this starter kit which I set up in less than 20 minutes, I now have total control, timers set, multiple moods to choose from. can control from kitchen tablet, phone or Hue switches which I purchased separately. For this application I will say it was worth the money. Only issue I have is that I want to add more lights and the cost cant be as easily justified as it was for this application.

Difficult to play

I bought this game for my son but it was difficult to play. After learning that it could only be played with an xbox live account, we finally got the game up and going but its a bit clunky and he lost interest rather quickly. I would not recommend this game

You've been locked in a heated battle on the diamond for nine innings, and now you're down to your final strike. With runners on second and third, and your team down by a run, you know a single will win the game. You've been locked in all game, and have been on top of every pitch that has been hurled your way. The pitcher begins his wind-up, and you send the runners. As the ball approaches the plate, you see that it's right down the middle and you hit the button to swing away, but nothing happens. You press again and again, but still nothing. Just as the ball pops the mitt, you look down and see the inevitable ~ your controller has run out of power.With this Insignia~ Charge & Play Kit, you'll be equipped to keep your Xbox 360 controller charged and ready for use when you are. The included Xbox 360 battery powers your controller to eliminate the need for disposable batteries. Play your games comfortably from your couch, while charging your controller at the same time with the 10' cable. With this Charge & Play Kit, you'll rest assured knowing your adventures will never have to end.

Is this a 1st or 2nd generation hue tap product? Thank you.

This works with second generation Hue lights. Not sure if it will work with gen 1 or not.
