Neat way to keep room cooler in the morning!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a simple device that is battery powered (2 years/battery, they say). Just set it in the room you want to have determining the furnace's temperature, connect to the Next app using your phone, and set when you want this sensor to provide the temperature reading for the furnace. Only downside is that you can't customize the schedule--there are 4-hour time blocks that you can choose from. So, for instance, we have the sensor in a front guest bedroom that gets unusually warm in the mornings. When we have a guest staying in there we go into the app and turn on this sensor for the 7am-11am timeframe, and then the furnace stops when that bedroom reaches it's set temperature. The rest of the house is 2 degrees cooler during those hours as a result, though.

Make charging your Apple Watch utterly effortless. This solution combines the MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. It's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.

OEM, and is the stainless steel watch charger
on January 18, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
This 3ft cable from Apple and works as well as all other Apple products (flawlessly). As an added bonus, this is the charger that comes with the stainless steel Apple watches as it has a stainless steel surround on the head. Nice! Same size as all plastic charger, though.

Cable works well, but has a different size head.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This cable works as well as the Apple cable, but has a larger head that does not fit in the charging dock we have for our watches. We kept this cable for traveling as it is shorter and easier to work with, but bought an Apple-branded cable for our charging dock.

Nice multi-use charger!
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This charger was intended as a replacement for use with a Bose Soundlink bluetooth speaker. Everything about this charger is nice quality. The tips stay on, and the box on the cord isn't too big--the cord even detaches from one end to make it easier to stow. In our case, the charger didn't put out quite enough voltage for the speaker to charge (the speaker requires 17-20V and the charger puts out 16V, if I remember correctly), so we ended up using it on one of our laptops. Works great!

Nice keyboard, almost perfect!
on April 23, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
this wireless keyboard has a lot going for it. Easy to pair, long battery life, on/off switch, automatically turns off when no key is pressed for a while, delete key plus a backspace key, number keypad, and comes with a unifying receiver in the box. The downsides include two things, 1. the key travel is short and offers very little resistance so your fingers tend to slam down all the way on the keys for a while as you get used to it, and 2. it doesn't really look like a computer keyboard (meaning they tried to make it look different enough so that it would look at home with an iPad or as a TV keyboard, but still work as a typical computer keyboard). It's also a bit confusing to setup until you realize that the 1,2 and 3 buttons on the keyboard are for setting up the three devices you want to pair, and that to set up your first device you need to stick to only pressing that particular pairing button. Overall, works well, no dropout connection issues, and long battery life.

Use instead of CDs
on March 23, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
We frequently use these large capacity flashdrives instead of CDs as they are much easier to write to, don't get damaged by dust or scratches, can be reused easily, and are fairly cheap. We send them to clients, always with good results (if they make it through the USPS). We have taken to sending these in a package instead of an envelope because despite several "hand stamp only" stamps on the envelope, the USPS will run these through the machine which causes the flashdrive to tear through the envelope and get lost.

Small, cheap SSD!
on March 23, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
These larger capacity flashdrives are a great way to add semi-permanent storage to an inexpensive laptop with a small harddrive (or SSD). We frequently will buy small capacity laptops for use by field staff and add a large capacity, low profile flashdrive. We install Windows on the device's internal harddrive (or SSD), then everything else (programs and data) on the flashdrive that is always plugged in. They're fast (especially on the newer USB 3 and 4 ports), and can be bought for a reasonable price as of this writing up to 128GB.

Easy to install, hi-quality picture backup camera!
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This backup camera is easy to install and works very well. I have this mounted in a small car (Mazda MX-5 Miata) which, I think, helps with picture quality and the speed at which the image appears on the GPS (due to the wireless nature of the camera). The distance between the wireless transmitter (on the camera cable) and the GPS affects those two things. Also, note that the cord supplied with the BC30 says it also includes a traffic receiver, which it does. However, it will only work with those GPS units that have a traffic receiver built into them (check the Garmin website to see if yours is compatible). If not, and mine wasn't, the Garmin Smartlink app supplies traffic info to your GPS via your iphone (or Android). Works really well, too, as long as you have location services turned on!

The cheapest way to Wemo--and use an Amazon Echo!
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: rfgf1
from Crystal Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The mini wifi Smart Plug is the least expensive way to add Wemo flexibility to anything that plugs in. We use several of these on lights in the house. We control them with Amazon Echo Dots (4 of them throughout the house) because the Echo Dots are always connected to the Smart Plugs (unlike our iphone Xs which must reconnect everytime you open the app--which takes about 5 secs). This way we have all the flexibility the Wemo's provide, without having to walk into a dark room and wait for the app on our phone to connect. We love the Wemos now that we are controlling them with Echo Dots!

Big display, fast processor, wifi updates!!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the best of the "budget" large format GPS units from Garmin. It has a gorgeous 7" display readable in all kinds of light, fast processor with no lag time for calculations and, best of all, software and firmware updates via wifi. Just pull your car near the house and update it. It's fast and simple. I love it!!!

the resolution is real bad is there any way to make it better or will another camera connect to the wire
Usually this is caused by a poor connection between the camera's transceiver and the GPS' receiver (these are the little boxes on each respective cord). If the resolution is poor you might try moving the location of the transceiver (located on the wire attached to the backup camera) so that it can get a better signal/connection with the receiver on the GPS. Also try moving the GPS' receiver (on the GPS power cord) so that it can make a better connection with the camera's box.
I don't think there are any other cameras that can connect to the GPS' receiver.

which backup camera can be used with a garmin nuvicam lmthd. Also is it wired or not?
Garmin lists which GPS units work with the BC30 back up camera, and the camera has a wire attached to it that you run into the trunk. The wire has a transceiver on it and the wire attaches to one of your reverse lights for power. This is a slick solution in that the camera only gets power when you shift into Reverse. There is no wire that needs to run from the GPS to the camera.

once it is installed is there any chance that it can be removed or stolen? what if any maintenance needed on it?
Regarding the camera getting stolen off your car: It is possible someone could cut the wire and remove the camera, but it would be worthless to them as it would not include the power cord (which connects to one of your reversing lights) and the wireless transceiver (both of which are inside the trunk). Also, this camera has a special power cord for your GPS unit that has a little receiver inline with the cord--and the thief would not have that either.
As for maintenance: there is none. No batteries, nothing to clean.

Is a universal License Plate Camera compatible with a Drive Smart 61 LMT-S gps? Is there a diagram for hook up if so?
I think you're asking about a backup camera, and yes, Garmin's BC30 is compatible with it. It's fairly easy to connect, and comes with everything you need in the box. I don't think there are any generic cameras that will work with the Garmins because of their proprietary(?) wireless signal they use between the camera and receiver.

Enjoy prepaid AT&T cell phone service with this AT&T Prepaid SIM kit, which features easy online or call-in activation to get your phone set up in no time.
Only @ Best BuyEasily switch between up to 4 HDMI source components with this HDMI switch that supports 1080p and 3D video for high-definition entertainment and 7.1 surround sound for impressive audio.
Currently my cable box is connected to Port 1 and the blue ray to Port 2. When I switch to Port 2 to use the blue ray player, the TV does not acknowledge it. It does not matter which port I put the blue ray player, it does no acknowledge it?
Nope, it shouldn't matter what HDMI you have the TV or Blu-ray plugged into, but don't forget to program into the remote that you need to change TV inputs when switching from TV to Blu-ray.
