Solid and well-made keyboard
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
PROS:
I was looking for a mechanical keyboard to use for both gaming and work and this keyboard met my needs. It is very solid (and somewhat heavy) so it feels like it should last a long time. The feel of the keys is good, but I found the height of the keyboard required me to adjust my seat position to get the right angle for my wrists.
CONS:
I do wish it had more settings for the incline of the keyboard rather than just the flat/raised setting. The USB cable is also very thick and bulky. That probably means that it will last a long time and won't get easy damaged, but it also makes it difficult to bend around your desk area. The USB cable also has two USB connectors...something I really didn't expect. I guess this is to supply enough power to the USB port on the keyboard, but I have had other keyboards with a USB port that didn't require two USB ports to connect it to on my desktop. For some laptop users, this may be a major issue. .

Almost a must-have for Hue systems
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are replacing your existing ceiling lights that had a dimmer switch with Hue lights, you almost must have one of these Hue dimmer switches to restore the lost dimmer functionality. Yes, you can use your smartphone to control the lighting, but having a physical switch on the wall is sometimes the quickest and easiest way to control the lights. While you can get the switch by itself for $10 less, I think getting the extra bulb for $10 is nice if you have some floor lights or other lights you want to control with the rest of your Hue system.

Good VR game for the price

It's not a long game but it's Batman and it gives you a good VR experience for a small price. Not much replay value, so it will probably be around used at a good discount if you can wait.

A nice bonus item for buying Gears of War 4

I got this with my Xbox One S Limited Edition Gears of War console. Not a bad mug, but the coaster doesn't really absorb any moisture so it is more to look at than to use.

If you like playing against other people rather than the computer, then you may enjoy the challenges this game presents where you are either a monster fighting against four humans, or one of the four humans fighting the monster (controlled by a human player).

Not bad at the right price

This was bigger and bulkier than I had expected and would rather have the more rectangular model with a longer-life battery, but I got this model at a good price. Setup was relatively easy for me, but I've used devices like this before. It can be useful for streaming videos to tables/phones while on long drives, especially if you have a few kids that want to watch different things.

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

Is there an option to plug cameras into an outlet instead of batteries?

Nope. Batteries only. But Arlo recently announced a new AC-powered camera (Arlo Q) that is HD and has audio, which I believe can be used in conjunction with your Arlo wire-free cameras (so all cameras are viewable through the same app.

Control your home lighting automatically with the smart timer on this Philips Hue White starter kit. The user-friendly system lets you turn lights on and off or dim them with an intuitive app for your smartphone or tablet. This Philips Hue White starter kit has space for up to 50 lights and 10 accessories to connect your entire home.
 

Can this system connect to multiple mobile devices?

I previously purchased another system, but it wouldn't work with both mine and my wife's phone, only one or the other. So only one of us could control the lights. We need a system that both of us can access.
I don't see why not. I'm using the iPhone app on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad and my Apple Watch), so I don't see why it wouldn't work with my wife's phone as long as we used the same My Hue account.

Bridge

Is the bridge that comes with this starter kit the first or second generation?
2nd Generation. You can tell by the picture of the hub...1st Gen hub is round, 2nd gen hub is square.

Can You use the A19 White and color bulbs with this kit?

I want to purchase this kit but switch the bulbs to the color ones is that possible? Thank you
Then you should just buy the A19 Hue color kit, which comes with 3 bulbs plus the newer 2nd Gen Hub. That will be less expensive than buying this kit plus 3 color A19 bulbs (unless you only need 1 or 2 color bulbs). The color bulbs by themselves are pretty expensive.

Can I use the hue bulbs in an outdoor location such as a porch light?

Maybe if they are in a sealed enclosure that's protected from the elements, but they certainly aren't weatherproof by themselves.

Lightstrip without hub

Can you use the switch to control the Philips light strip without using or buying the hub?
I'm pretty sure you can't because you need the Hub to do anything with the Hue app, including configuring which lights this dimming switch will control. That said, you can probably pick up the first gen Hub for cheap...I already have 3 of them I'm not using from when I bought different lighting kits that came with a hub because the kits were less expensive than buying the lights individually. I also upgraded to the 2nd gen hub for HomeKit support (a waste of money so far because I haven't gotten around to setting up the HomeKit settings).

Philips Friends of hue LivingColors Bloom 259531 Starter Kit: Add splashes of colorful mood and accent lighting to any room with an open power outlet. Control the lights' colors, schedules, dimmers and more from your phone using the included bridge.
 

do these lamps need a wired ethernet connection to work?

The lights themselves just need power, but you do need a wired network connection in your house for the Hue hub to plug into, which is required to control the lights. I believe the lights communicate to the Hue hub via the Zigbee protocol. This starter kit comes with the older version of the Hue hub, which is fine for most people unless you want to use it with Apple's HomeKit functionality.

Do the cameras run all the time or can you set up time parameters and how easy is it to change them

During the week I would like to have the camera show during the day as per sometime and then at night all the time can I make this happen without too much difficulty
You can setup schedules for the motion detection so that it will be enabled only during certain hours for selected cameras. When motion is detected by the camera, it records several seconds of video, uploads it to their server and then sends you notifications so you know there's something to look at.

I haven't played with the scheduling features too much yet, so I'm not sure if you can setup multiple time windows for turning on motion detection during the same day. While you could setup multiple schedules, only one schedule is enabled at a time and you must manually choose which schedule you want to enable.
